DIANA BAKSH | Director
Diana Baksh is a beacon of professionalism, reliability, and talent in the ever-evolving world of hair. She's that go-to professional who navigates any challenge with grace. With an unyielding commitment to her craft, Diana's journey is one of resilience, inspiration, and the transformative power of beauty.
Diana's story took an unexpected turn when her flourishing career in the West Village reached a crossroads with the doors closing at her salon. However, a new door opened with an invitation from Sam Brocato Salon. As the sole generalist, Diana found a beloved home to continue her journey of creating beauty through her mastery of color, cut, and style.
Born in Guyana, South America, Diana moved to New York City in 1985. For her, the city is not just a backdrop; it's a boundless source of inspiration that fuels her creativity and ignites her spirit. As a child, her favorite activity was cutting her dolls' hair and playing with her mother's makeup. Little did she know that these playful moments would sow the seeds of her lifelong passion. Her calling as a hairdresser grew from a deep love of beauty and a desire to help people look and feel their most beautiful selves. For Diana, beauty and confidence go hand in hand. Her superpower? Breathing new life into hair. With each cut and color, she brings vibrancy to every strand.
Beyond the salon, Diana is a proud single mother and manifests her creativity in her kitchen and garden. Cooking is her culinary art, and nurturing her garden with vegetables and flowers is her meditative escape – her zen. Don't Sweat the Small Stuff is her favorite book – a testament to her outlook on life, focusing on what truly matters and finding joy in the present moment. Italy is that destination that holds a special place in Diana's heart and encapsulates her passions. Italy's artistry resonates with her deeply, from its food to its fashion scene to its awe-inspiring architecture.
At Sam Brocato Salon, Diana's chair is a hub of transformation. Her clients are not just clients; they're celebrities, each deserving of the red-carpet treatment. Known as the "voice of reason," Diana's insights and guidance are cherished by both colleagues and clients alike. Step into her world and experience the artistry, compassion, and transformation she weaves with every touch.
