Ira Pope Sage (Las Vegas Hairdresser)

Ira Pope Sage is a Las Vegas–based hairdresser and cutting educator known for turning “mystery” haircuts into something you can actually see and repeat. He’s been in the industry since 1994—starting in Michigan, landing in Nevada in 1999, and building years of momentum behind the chair before stepping fully into education with a global run as a Paul Mitchell educator.

What Ira teaches isn’t about trendy chaos—it’s about control, perspective, and shape that behaves in real life. His Clock Cutting concept was built to simplify haircutting: where you stand, how you section, how you cross-check—so the haircut becomes a system instead of a vibe. In his “Perspective is Key” classes, he’s big on creating functional haircuts that grow out well and give stylists a cleaner way to problem-solve at the mirror.

Stylists can learn with Ira through hands-on education (1:1, small groups, or in-salon) and online lessons covering core, high-rotation shapes like layers and bobs. If you want a cutting approach that feels like upgrading your internal GPS—not replacing your style—his work is an open invite.
