The Team
Julie Dickson, Founder
As the founder of Fox & Boy, Julie is living out her dream of having her own salon in her favorite city—a place where originality and personalized attention flourishes. Voted one of the twenty top hairstylists in 2010 by Time Out New York, Julie has built an impressive and long-standing clientele for both haircuts and color.
Originally from Minnesota, Julie’s passion for hair stems from art, music, and culture, and is grounded in her rigorous training. Julie began her career in New York City, starting uptown at Clairol Inc. and The Minardi Salon, where she learned the rules. She later moved downtown to Dop Dop Salon, where she learned to break them. Whatever the neighborhood, Julie upholds her reputation for her polished yet cool hairstyles that enhance a client’s individual features, unique style and personal esthetic.
“I’m different from the average hairstylist because I’m a ‘why girl’. I love finding out what's in a product and why it is or isn't beneficial for different hair types. I also like to explain why something may or may not be a good idea for a client’s look. But ultimately, it’s all about making my clients feel comfortable, listened to, and helping them look the way they want to look.”
Boswell Scot, Stylist
Boswell is a stylist with a sincere passion for perfection. His search for inspiration and education is never ending—and his experience and creativity send each of his clients home with fresh and striking hair.
Professionally trained at the Aveda Institute in Saint Petersburg, Florida, Boswell specializes in men's grooming, as well as fine and textured locks. His highlighting and coloring services are tailored to each client depending on their needs and desires, whether its subtle glimmers or striking panels in a bold edgy hue.
"I offer intuitive consultations for those seeking something new but don't know where to begin. I work with you, listen to your ideas and guide you through the process. My goal is to have you leave the salon feeling heard and in love with your hair.”
MaryAnna Fitzgerald, Stylist
With a natural penchant for visual art and creativity, MaryAnna was drawn to a career in hairstyling at a young age.
She was formally trained at the Aveda Institute New York, and regularly attends continuing education classes to stay “in the know”. MaryAnna’s experience includes styling for music videos, photo shoots and fashion shows—but her true passion remains in the salon, where she enjoys getting to know her clientele and working with them on a more personalized level.
With a discerning eye for shape and color, MaryAnna crafts looks that bring out the best in her clients. Whether you are having your hair cut, colored or styled for your next special occasion, she will create a customized look that complements your lifestyle and personality.
"I love interacting with people and drawing on their personalities to create a look that is unique. When your hair feels like “you,” it really shows!"
Patti O'Gara, Stylist
Patti had always craved the ever-changing life of an artist in the city. While growing up in the suburbs of Long Island, she envisioned making her way to New York City, in pursuit of a career in hairstyling.
Patti received her formal training at The Aveda Institute of New York. After that, she completed a rigorous apprenticeship at Fox & Boy, under the expert guidance of founder Julie Dickson. As a result, Patti is fluent in the language of hair color. Whether it be a subtle or dramatic change, or a corrective project, Patti has the experience and knowledge of the latest techniques to create the ideal color.
In addition to color, Patti’s talents spill over into the areas of haircutting and styling. She will draw upon her unique perspective to achieve your vision of a "just right,” personalized image.
"The creation and enhancement of beauty has always been a part of my life. My goal is to transform the elements of your natural beauty into a cohesive and customized style."
