David Adams has owned this salon since 1986. In 2010 he moved it to this corner in Pleasure Point — and it became a Paul Mitchell Focus Salon.

Forty years later, the work is the same as it ever was: precision cuts, hand-painted color, and a floor built on collaboration. Unhurried. Never rushed, never running long.

The chair stays.
The handwriting too.

After twelve years on David's floor, master stylist Paweena “Gam” Langan bought the salon — and the only thing changing is the name on the lease.

David is still cutting. The Paul Mitchell focus is still the spine. The collaborative floor he built is still here, just with Gam at the helm now.
