About

With over 21 years of experience in the beauty industry, John Mok is a master of precision haircutting and lived-in style design. Based at Muse Salon in Walnut Creek, CA, John combines sharp technical skills with a creative, intuitive approach to deliver modern, high-impact haircuts that are both polished and effortless.

John’s journey into hair was anything but typical. With a background in biology and life sciences, he was drawn to the way things grow — including hair. That curiosity, along with a passion for working with his hands, eventually led him to discover his true calling: helping people feel confident and seen through thoughtful hair artistry.

John specializes in sculpted shapes that move. His signature technique involves creating a clean, technical foundation — then breaking it up to achieve a natural, fashion-forward finish. From sharp bobs and tailored pixies to soft layers and wearable texture, his work reflects a deep respect for structure, movement, and individuality.

What brought him to Muse Salon was more than just the stunning space — it was the vision behind it. John was drawn to Muse for its commitment to artistry, collaboration, and community. He credits owner Brooke’s leadership and passion for cultivating a creative, supportive environment where stylists can truly thrive.

Beyond the chair, John continues to evolve. He’s passionate about photography, content creation, mentoring young stylists, and sharing his journey through social media. Whether you’re a new guest, a returning client, or a fellow artist, you’ll find that John brings grounded energy, generous expertise, and a deep love for his craft to every interaction.

If he could style anyone in history? “Linda Evangelista — hands down,” John says. “She can wear anything.”
