Drew Schaefering
Currently the Creative Director at Rob Peetoom Williamsburg, Drew Schaefering started cutting his own hair as a teenager, earned a business degree, then pivoted into cosmetology, launching his career in St. Louis before moving to New York to build cutting curricula and teach workshops internationally. His approach is rooted in modern layering and texture — pivoting and diagonal sectioning for clean architecture, then freehand finishing for movement that still holds its shape. His Hairbrained Live course Cutting Corners distills that philosophy into two salon-friendly haircuts designed to work on real clients, on real schedules.
