Matthew Robert Color and Design Salon Fashion Week Team

Azeza Rostum
Azeza Rostum leads the Matthew Robert Team through another St. Louis Fall Fashion Week. As the Director of Design at MR, her success is accented by her desire for ongoing education and the need to pass it on. Azeza is one of the reasons why Matthew Robert can say, "We fuse the best of the East Coast and West Coast style right here in the Midwest." She began on the West Coast in Santa Monica, California, for months of training at the Vidal Sassoon Academy. There she mastered the art of taking hair design to the next level. Azeza continued on to the award-winning Redken Exchange in New York City (Redken's global training facility) where she became Redken Color Certified. Persistent with her schooling, she recently completed Redken's Specialist Connection and will take that even further with Redken's progressive training, Master Specialist, '09.
