COurtney rice

My name is Courtney Rice, and I am the owner and stylist behind Sunday Morning Hair. I practiced as an architect for over a decade before quitting my office job to pursue the freedom and creativity I found doing hair. I am an unabashed lover of mullets, shags, bowl cuts, frenchy bobs, and all things 70’s (I named the salon after a Velvet Underground song after all). I have lived in El Sereno since 2013, and have been a stylist since 2010.

My creative passion is what I like to call “undone” hair…meaning cuts designed to air dry beautifully with the hair’s natural texture. I tend to work intuitively, valuing visual balance and suitability over precision, but my architecture background doesn’t let me stray too far from a good structural foundation, and an understanding of the spacial geometry around the face. I typically cut hair dry with a scissor, or wet with a razor, or a combo of both (depending on what’s appropriate for your hair type, texture, and desired end result).

I aspire to develop a business model whose point is not to extract as much profit as possible, but rather allow me to make values-aligned choices while doing a thing that I love, with and for people who value it, while being able to afford a life that sustains both myself and our greater community.

I look forward to meeting you. When you look good, you feel good, so let’s make the world a better place one haircut at a time.
