Ira Pope Sage

Ira Pope Sage is a Las Vegas-based hairdresser who first began his professional career in his hometown of Michigan back in 1994. A former stylist at A Robert Cromeans Salon until 2012, Sage joined Paul Mitchell and traveled all over the world as a Global Educator, specializing in haircutting. Throughout the years, Ira’s work has been awarded and recognized by prestigious publications. He was named top hairdresser by Vegas Life Magazine in 2002 and 2003, listed as a top 50 Platforms Artist by Be Mag in 2007. In 2021 Ira became a Southwest Hairstyling Awards Finalist for Asian Hairstylist of the Year and Hairstylist of the Year, and was honored with the Uncensored Beauty Icon Award by Midwest Hairstyling Awards and that same year as well. Ira has captured the industry’s attention for his expressive and functional shapes–which he gives credit to his “Clock Cutting Method” – his signature approach to haircutting which explains why the foundations of creativity begin with thinking inside the box. Inspired by the idea of time, clocks and measurement, Ira’s visual approach simplifies the haircutting process and opens up the mind to a whole new perspective of haircutting.
