the founders

Born and raised in England, David’s curiosity and love for travel brought him to the United States in 1985. David channels his creativity and passion for visionary art in a medium that brings exciting experiences with many people who have inspired and learnt from him throughout his career.

As a visionary, David has facilitated a multitude of hair shows, seminars, hands-on workshops, team building and training programs across the United States and Central America, as well as developed cut, color and styling curricula for salons, Paul Mitchell the School, and HOTBOX workshop.

Inspired by the energy of the moment, David dedicates his energy to HOTBOX salon, opened in Las Vegas in 2006. David is a sincere and dedicated teacher and hair stylist, believing that the most successful hair stylists are able to adapt their creativity from inspirational visions through discipline and ultimate awareness of their craft.   

David’s style and creativity has also led to work styling for corporate and private parties, Las Vegas nightlife events, as well as editorial styling and a feature spot on Inside Fashion TV in 2009.

Born in southern California and raised in Las Vegas, Shauna is a multi-disciplinary designer, with a background in architecture and graphic design, who seeks to bring out joy through design. 

Responsible for the salon’s overall brand, from the interiors, to the retail shop, to the promotional materials and online content, she is passionate about creating experiences and environments that bring out joy, wonder and laughter; things that make you feel good, with little surprises in between.

Shauna currently spends her time maintaining the vibe and brand of HOTBOX salon, seeing to each and every little detail that makes HOTBOX what it is: fun, energetic, passionate, exciting, welcoming & full of love.
