Bold. Balanced. Beautiful.

I’m Liam Carey.
A hairstylist with over 25 years of experience — from San Francisco to NYC… Now based in Asheville, you can find me at Salon Zhenya, a calm, curated space where the artistry thrives.

As a client of mine, you’ll receive a personalized maintenance plan to keep your hair looking fresh between major services. From dead end dustings to bang trims and gloss refreshes—it's all complimentary when you stay prebooked.

My foundation began with precision cutting, shaped early on by classic training and sharpened over decades in the industry. After spending 20+ years in NYC, I refined my eye for detail, taste, and style — surrounded by some of the most driven, talented artists in the business. That energy inspired me, pushed me, and still fuels everything I do behind the chair.

Having worked alongside industry legends like Ted Gibson and Serge Normant, I bring a sharp, fashion-forward eye with a focus on effortless wearability.

I specialize in dimensional color that feels like an endless summer — natural blondes, rich brunettes, and sun-kissed balayage. My signature? Seamless, low-maintenance color that grows out beautifully and still turns heads. Paired with a precision cut, my work is made to move — from relaxed bobs to long, layered texture. CFM HAIR
