OWNER & STYLIST

Hey! My name is Devon Daskalakis. Born and raised on the South Shore of Long Island, I’ve dedicated my craft to the art of men’s grooming since 2014. As a true perfectionist, I bring an unwavering attention to detail and precision to every cut, mastering a full spectrum of styles for the modern gentleman. My passion lies in transforming not just hair, but confidence — and I do so with purpose, skill, and intention behind every service.

As one of the leading female men’s hairstylists in New York City and along the East Coast, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the city’s most influential professionals and creatives who expect nothing less than excellence. With years of hands-on experience across all hair types and textures, I tailor each appointment to the individual — ensuring a personalized, high-end experience that reflects both lifestyle and style.

In addition to my work behind the chair, I am a proud educator, offering advanced men’s haircutting classes to premier salons throughout New York. I’ve also been a featured platform artist at renowned industry events and trade schools up and down the East Coast. My work has been showcased at New York Fashion Week, on Broadway, in Newsday, BRIDES, TIME Magazine, HIMS, and across national and international social media platforms.

If you're seeking an elevated grooming experience with one of the best in the industry, welcome to Debonair — where every detail is considered, and every client leaves looking (and feeling) their absolute best.

STYLIST

Hi, I am Nadia. I was born and raised in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. In 1998, I moved to New York City to chase the American dream. After finishing beauty school I spent 10 years growing as a stylist on the Upper East Side. In 2008 I moved to California where I spent another 14 years doing hair, getting my barber licence and perfecting my craft.

Being in the industry for over 25 years I specialize in both cut and color. My strengths are precision cutting, razor texturizing and creating sun kissed highlights with natural colors that melt within different tones and dimensions. My constant thirst for education and my experience give me the ability to create styles that are fashionable yet manageable. I am grateful to have found a career that I get to be creative while I make people happy at the same time.

I am excited to be a part of Debonair Men's Grooming team and I am looking forward to sharing my love for hair with you, while you are getting pampered in our little oasis in the middle of buzzing Manhattan. I can't wait to meet you!

STYLIST

Hello all!

My name is Roanni & I am a seasoned hairstylist and barber based in New York City. I possess over 20 years of experience in the grooming industry. I obtained my cosmetology license in the summer of 1997 and have since cultivated a unique & distinctive approach to men’s grooming.  

My professional journey includes training with renowned French stylists Jacques Dessange and Jean Louis David, where I mastered the French Cutting Technique.  My passion for men’s grooming was further ignited during my seven-year tenure at John Allan’s salon.

In terms of my specialties, I am particularly known for my expertise in scissor-over-comb dry cutting techniques. I enjoy delivering meticulous haircuts, characterized by sharp lines and refined shapes that compliment your face shape and hair type. As a special treat, I also offer a one of a kind, luxurious hot shave. I view each haircut as a narrative, aiming to help my clients express their individuality through style. 

Join me at Debonair for an experience unlike any other!

COLORIST / STYLIST

Hello, I'm Mary! I am a native New Yorker from Queens and a licensed barber with over five years of experience.

After working across the city, I'm thrilled to call Debonair my home and work alongside an exceptional team. If you’re looking to be pampered, I provide top-notch services for men. Anyone looking to add a pop of color to their hair, cover some grey, or just in need of a change; I’m your stylist! I specialize in highlights for men, as well as PERM and Keratin smoothing Treatments.

As a true NYC girl, I am passionate about exploring the city's culinary scene. I am of Mexican origin & enjoy trying ( & talking about) the best around NYC!

I look forward to meeting you soon and providing you with a relaxing escape from your busy day. I’ll be ensuring you look as fantastic as you hoped, on your way out from Debonair!

STYLIST

Hi, I’m Edgar. With over eight years of experience in men’s hairdressing, I specialize in clean fades, precision scissor cuts, and classic hot towel shaves. I’ve trained under some of the industry’s most respected names—including Charles Gray, Andrea Buluggiu, and Gianni Cardinale—which has shaped my detail-driven, elevated approach to grooming.

For me, it’s about more than just the haircut—it’s about helping you look sharp and feel confident every time you’re in my chair. When I’m not delivering fresh fades and perfectly tailored cuts, you’ll probably find me at the gym, watching a soccer match, or listening to music at an EDM show. I bring that same energy and passion into every appointment — making sure each client leaves not only looking sharp but feeling great. Whether you’re coming in for a quick cleanup or a full transformation, I’ve got you covered.

Looking forward to welcoming you at Debonair!
