On January 27, 2023, Mode Salon lost its guiding light. Israel, our founder, our artist, and our friend, left this world—but his spirit remains woven into the heart of everything we do. Israel was more than a master of his craft; he was a creator of beauty, a builder of confidence, and a dreamer with a vision. For almost 30 years, he devoted himself to the art of hair, not merely as a profession but as a calling. With every cut, every color, every moment spent behind the chair, he transformed not only how people looked but how they felt—seen, radiant, and truly themselves.

Mode Salon was Israel’s dream come to life, a place where his passion for the beauty industry blossomed into a legacy. Since 2010, his hands shaped more than hair; they shaped a community. He poured his soul into his work and into his team- mentoring with patience, kindness, and an unshakable belief in the potential of others. To those who knew him, Israel was much more than a hairstylist. He was a friend who listened with an open heart, a mentor who inspired with gentle wisdom, and a visionary who turned creativity into magic. His laughter filled the room, his energy uplifted all who surrounded him, and his presence made the ordinary extraordinary.

Though Israel is no longer by our side, his legacy shines in every strand we touch, every smile we create, and every person who walks out of our salon feeling more beautiful and confident. At Mode, we carry his dream forward with pride, continuing the work he loved so deeply—making the world a more vibrant and fabulous place, one person at a time.

Team Mode is more committed than ever to his mission. With our expertise, Vidal Sassoon training, and a shared passion for excellence, we honor Israel’s memory by striving for the same perfection and joy he brought to every aspect of his work.

Israel’s chair may now stand empty, but his presence is everywhere—felt in the artistry of our team, in the laughter of our clients, and in the beauty he believed in so fiercely. He was a light, a gift, and an inspiration, and his legacy will forever guide us.

Rest in peace, Israel. Your dream lives on.
