Meet Porchia
Porchia Thompson is a New York–licensed cosmetologist and the founder of Scissher, a curl-focused studio dedicated to textured hair care, scalp wellness, and precision cutting.
With over 20 years in the beauty industry and nearly a decade of advanced curl training at Devachan Salon, Porchia built her expertise around understanding how textured hair behaves in real life—not just inside the salon chair.
Her approach focuses on creating haircuts that move naturally with the curl, maintain their shape throughout the week, and support simpler, healthier routines at home.
Scissher was created as a one-on-one experience for clients seeking thoughtful care without the overwhelm of crowded salons, rushed appointments, or trend-based routines.
Today, her work continues to evolve through curl education, scalp-focused care, and hypoallergenic product development designed for sensitive clients and textured hair.
