Carsten, a native of Germany, formalized his business in 1984 and has since established a synergy between the Carsten education and salon systems. His upscale salons and institutes are in constant evolution with quality learning.

Carsten's eye for design is also expressed through his photography, which has been featured in more than 200 international magazines. Carsten has been awarded with the "Educator of the Century Award" by Intercoiffure of America and Canada. Most recently was recognized by the International Presse Professionnelle Coiffure for their "Best Commercial Hair Dressing and Photography Award"

Teaching comes natural to Carsten. He combines an advanced French cutting technique he studied in Paris with traditional shapes. Stylists, instructors, and students are encouraged to master the technique, put it aside and start "cutting with the eyes". Every client deserves to meet their expectations and Carsten always delivers.
