Rita
Barber/Stylist
Her European roots and her American upbringing and education make Margarita the perfect barber cocktail. She has an artistic eye that sees what styles best suit her clients. Margarita trained with Gene Juarez Advanced training salon where she chose to specialize in cutting and styling. She worked for Gene Juarez until she struck out on her at Saida salon in Kirkland for 12 years. Owning her own business made her narrow down her love for hair to men’s cuts and styles, and that realization led her to Speakeasy Barbershop.
​
She is passionate about continuing her education and learning the latest techniques in men’s cuts and styles from artists around the world. If she’s not at the salon cutting hair, she is probably sipping a glass of Cabernet and reading up on the latest hair trends and techniques.
