has emerged as one of New York’s most sought-after hair colorists, renowned for a singular ability to merge technical precision with an artist’s restraint. With a career spanning celebrity, editorial, and runway, Heller is trusted by industry insiders for his discerning eye and deeply personal approach to color. In September 2022, he unveiled his namesake salon on Waverly Place in the West Village; an intimate, understated refuge where clients receive the kind of one-on-one attention rarely found in the city’s beauty landscape. Heller is celebrated for his expertise in balayage, where his precise, restrained application creates luminous, sun-kissed highlights that mimic natural light on hair. Equally skilled in delivering rich, full-bodied hues, he blends depth and dimension with ease, resulting in color that feels both sophisticated and effortless. His creative approach to bold tones, often achieved through custom mixture, has led to signature looks like the elevated iridescent pink he created for actor Evan Mock on HBO’s Gossip Girl reboot. His editorial and celebrity portfolio includes work with Rihanna (Perfect Magazine, Issue 7), Kendall Jenner (Vogue), Sky Ferreira (Met Gala 2022), Addison Rae (music video “Times Like These”), Rosé of Blackpink (music video “toxic till the end”), and the Balenciaga Pre-Fall 2024 Runway Show. Recurring clients include Alicia Silverstone, Meadow Walker, Kelsey Asbille, Mariacarla Boscono, Ella Beatty, and Stephanie March, alongside collaborations with some of fashion and beauty’s most influential stylists, photographers, and artists.
