About Death Moth Studio

Death Moth
Studio Salon

where luxury meets individuality

Founded + led by master stylist Connie Viera,
Death Moth Studio was born from the belief that hair is both art and identity.

Every session is a custom experience — rooted in intuition, collaboration, and creativity. From effortless lived-in color to precision cuts and transformative extensions, we blend high-end technique with an effortlessly cool edge.

Tucked in the heart of San Antonio’s historic West Side,
Death Moth Studio channels the energy of a little Brooklyn hideaway — creative, grounded, and brimming with individuality. It’s a space where stylist and client co-create looks that feel as good as they look — modern, moody, and unapologetically chic.

Every detail is designed to make you feel seen, inspired, and radiant.
Step inside and experience hair artistry reimagined — refined, restorative, and always true to you.

Meet our stylists

I‘m Connie and I’m the owner of Death Moth Studio.
I’ve been obsessing over hair for the past 9 years. I pride myself in giving our clients the most seamless color + hand tied extensions.
The studio is a space we created to invite peace and relaxation. There is so much culture in and around our space.
Our community drives us to give back , be grateful and appreciate the small things.
If you’re looking for a laid back, aesthetically pleasing place then this is the gem for you. Let’s find the perfect look!
Can’t wait to meet you xx
Hey, I’m Emily!
I’ve been behind the chair for 8 years now, and I’m still obsessed with helping people feel like the best version of themselves. My chair is a space for connection, creativity, and real conversation — where we work together to create hair that feels intuitive, effortless, and totally you.
As an Army wife and mom of two, I know what it’s like to juggle a full life and still crave a moment of calm. That’s why I love creating low-maintenance, lived-in color and soft, wearable styles that fit seamlessly into real life — without sacrificing style.
The studio has this cozy, moody energy — kind of like a little Brooklyn tucked into San Antonio — and it’s become my favorite place to create and collaborate.
If you’re looking for an easy-going, aesthetic space to refresh your look and your energy, you’re in the right spot. Can’t wait to meet you and dream up something beautiful together. ✨

Education & Certifications

I completed the Salt Strands Hand Tied Education course in September 2020 in Dana Point, California, where I learned advanced techniques in seamless hand tied extension installation, custom placement, and natural blending. The class focused on creating lightweight, low-tension looks that move like natural hair — blending precision with artistry. It was such an inspiring experience that deepened my confidence and craftsmanship behind the chair. 🌊✨
I completed the Phanes Hand Tied Extension Course in November 2022 in Austin, Texas, where I learned advanced techniques in natural placement, tension control, and custom blending. The course focused on creating seamless, wearable extensions that move naturally and protect the integrity of the hair and scalp. It was a hands-on, inspiring experience that strengthened both my precision and creative approach behind the chair. ✨
I completed the Mesh Integration Hair System Certification with Ava Talavera in October 2025, specializing in custom toppers for clients experiencing alopecia, hair loss, and thinning. This training refined my skills in seamless blending and natural integration, allowing me to offer comfortable, confidence-restoring solutions behind the chair. ✨
