About

My name is Maxx Lee (they/he) — the artist, stylist, and photographer behind Maxx Lee Studio. From a young age, I’ve carried a deep passion for the arts and the way creativity allows us to express who we are. Creating has never been just something I do — it’s how I communicate with the world. Whether shaping hair, designing color, or capturing emotion through photography, my work is grounded in self-expression, healing, and connection. I grew up surrounded by creativity in unexpected places. My dad, an exterminator with a love for drawing, taught me that artistry can exist anywhere — that inspiration often lives in the everyday. After graduating from the Aveda Institute of Arts and Sciences in SoHo, I began my career in a luxury Brooklyn salon, where I learned the value of precision, personalization, and detail. But more importantly, I discovered the kind of environment I wanted to create — one that values authenticity, creativity, and care over speed and volume. That vision became MaxxLeeStudio: a calm, creative space built on connection and individuality. I want every person who sits in my chair to feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated for exactly who they are. To me, hair and photography are both living art forms — each a reflection of identity, emotion, and transformation. I also believe that creativity and lifestyle should never come at the cost of our planet — sustainability is woven into every choice I make. Above all, my purpose is to make people feel beautiful, understood, and inspired through art that isn’t just seen, but felt.
