We’re a collective of
independent stylists
who handle hair.

Clare Malarkey hails from Portland, OR and moved to NYC in 2008 seeking inspiration and the best education the hair industry had to offer. After years working at a prestigious Manhattan salon, Clare struck out on her own opening what would soon become VOE studio in 2017. She loves building relationships behind the chair while inspiring clients to discover a hair shape that fits their lifestyle — no matter how busy. Clare is expert in a diverse range of techniques, everything from straight razor, and precision shear, to dry cutting, texturizing, and barbering. Clare is also an acclaimed educator, teaching as a National Artist for Goldwell. 

Zachary Jarid was raised in Salt Lake City, UT and has always been fascinated by how skillfully produced hair color creates artwork on the outside and confidence on the inside. With over 18 years of experience as a colorist, Zachary co-founded VOE studio with the intent to create a space where his independent vision could blossom. While on the journey to grow VOE, he joined the Goldwell National Artist team and travels around the country educating other colorists on world-wide trends. Zachary specializes in all shades of tailored and dimensional hair color that is meant to grow out seamlessly.
