Claudia Bermudez

Claudia Bermudez is a second-generation hairdresser hailing from the vibrant city of Maracaibo, Venezuela, whose flair for lived-in blonding and perfectly sculpted haircuts has made her a sought-after stylist at Blondify Studio. Maracaibo's distinctive culture are woven into Claudia's approach to hairdressing, a craft she has been honing passionately for 18 years. Her journey to New York City a decade ago marked the beginning of an exciting chapter, one that led her to represent her country at the prestigious Wella Trend Vision Award in Madrid in 2012, and to the bustling backstage areas of runway shows and high-end photo shoots.

Claudia's artistic contributions have lit up the pages of fashion staples like Vogue and have been featured in campaigns for Swarovski, Viktor Luna, and Urban Outfitters. She’s styled the hair of notable figures, including Sara Sampaio and Laverne Cox. While she once dreamed of becoming a professional dancer, Claudia found her true calling in hair, where she delights in the transformative power of her work. Every snip and color she applies is an expression of her love for dance and movement, channeled into creating gorgeous, confidence-boosting looks that make her clients feel as radiant on the outside as they are within.

After a horrible botched highlight session at another salon I HAD to come back to Blondify to fix and they did not disappoint!! My hair was literally orange and Claudia worked her magic and did her thing - making my hair so beautiful and icy, just how I wanted it. I knew it was a big job but she stayed late making sure my hair was lifted the right tone and ensuring it was safe at the same time. She literally transformed my hair and I’m so thankful for her and the team for squeezing me last minute. Lauren who installed my extensions was immaculate and precise which I really appreciated. The girls there are so lovely and I will definitely be going back everytime from now on - I cannot trust no one else now! I left feeling so happy and relieved, so thank you to both of you! I recommend this salon constantly!

Claudia is absolute fire. She slayed my color. I am super picky about who I see and let me tell you if you want a lived in blonde you need to go see her.

My hair was destroyed from bleaching. Brittany spent time with me to explain how to achieve the results I wanted with a single process. I was given to Claudia who has transformed my hair back to a beautiful healthy blonde.
So happy I found Blondify. Claudia is amazing with both color and cuts. Everyone there is terrific. Highly recommended!
