With mentions in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Glamour, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, InStyle and Marie Claire, as well as winning a Self magazine award for "Best Curly Hair Stylist" and being voted "One of the Best Hair Cutters in New York" by New York Magazine, Burton Machen has established a name for himself in the beauty industry. For the past 20 years, Burton has been styling and cutting some of the best-known tresses in the entertainment business. His skill has allowed him to travel the world, styling for television shows and photo shoots with the likes of Sheryl Crow, Kelly Lynch, Julia Roberts, Barbara Streisand and Vogue's famed editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Getting his start in New York, Burton was Frederic Fekkai's personal assistant before joining the Peter Coppola Salon. After a switch to the West Coast, Burton worked at the cutting-edge Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood and later moved to The Salon by Maxime in Beverly Hills. In 2009, Burton again teamed with Sally Hershberger, flying in from Los Angeles once a month for his East Coast clientele at Sharon Dorram Color at Sally Hershberger in New York City.
An advocate for building strong relationships with his clients, Burton makes a personal investment in each client, taking the time necessary to establish a shared vision and understanding. By focusing on his clients' unique facial features and placing an emphasis on complimentary natural styling, Burton achieves an individualized, flattering work free of burdensome "trends of the moment."
