Fern Covarrubias
Fern, originally from Northern California, has been a hairstylist for nine years. His journey into the world of hair began while working as a receptionist at both The Pretty Pretty Collective and Population, two popular salons in San Francisco’s Mission District. Being immersed in those environments ignited his passion for hairstyling, leading him to move to Portland in 2016. He enrolled at the Paul Mitchell School and graduated in 2017, soon after securing an apprenticeship at Auric Salon, where he continued honing his craft.
Known for his organizational skills, attention to detail, and clean, methodical approach—he likes to say it’s the Virgo in him—Fern is committed to creating a positive experience for each client, from the initial consultation to the final result. His easygoing, laid-back personality makes him a delight to work with, both for clients and his fellow stylists.
Although Fern is known for his expertise in lived-in blonding, which he often features on his Instagram, he is equally passionate about cutting. He is skilled in barbering and taper fades, as well as bobs and medium-length cuts, utilizing both shears and razors. Fern enjoys creating long layers, shaggy styles, curtain fringe, and soft round-brush blowouts, always aiming for a tailored, modern look. He recently attended a Pony Razor Cutting class, underscoring his dedication to continuous education and refinement in both cutting and coloring.
As a first-generation Mexican and person of color who has lived in both San Francisco and Portland, Fern aligns with liberal and progressive values, striving to create an inclusive, welcoming environment for every client. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Fern join us at Ceremony.
