I’m Porchia Thompson, and my love for curly hair took root on the streets of New York City. After Devachan Salon closed all its locations in June 2022, I launched Scissher Salon the following month in Rockefeller Center, making my dream a reality. Years ago, after experimenting with relaxers, I boldly cut my hair, embracing my natural curls. My journey began as an assistant at Devachan, where I underwent 2 1/2 years of intensive training before becoming a stylist. Certified in the signature Deva cut method, I’m thrilled to bring my passion for healthy, beautiful curls to Scissher, now located in Murray Hill.

My dedication to celebrating curls has led to collaborations with industry icons like Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, mentoring young talents at Covenant House, and showcasing my skills on the New York Fashion Week runways. Though Devachan’s doors have since closed, Scissher has blossomed into more than just a salon—it’s a haven for curly hair, where every curl pattern is celebrated and each client’s unique beauty shines.

At Scissher, I offer precision dry cuts that honor each curl’s personality and build confidence one strand at a time. The most fulfilling part of my work is watching self-love radiate through a client’s smile when they discover the beauty of their natural curls. At Scissher, you’re family. Join me on this journey of curl liberation, where your natural beauty takes center stage and your vibrant, one-of-a-kind self is celebrated every step of the way.
