Emma's love for hair began her senior year of high school, as she worked for her hairdresser for a school credit. Being in the salon felt like home.
Emma started at Toni & Guy Hairdressing Academy in Colorado Springs following her high school graduation. Toni & Guy the creator of Bed Head is one of the leaders of the hair industry in the UK and in America. Upon completing the extensive cosmetology course, she returned to her home town of Salida, Colorado to start her new career. After a year of working in Colorado, Emma relocated to Hawaii where she worked her way up to a Master Stylist Title. After many years of working in the Corporate Salon industry, it was time to spread her wings.
Emma moved to a local Salon where she worked independently for a year. When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, Salons were deemed non-essential and we're closed for months. This was devastating to the beauty industry and Emma missed being behind the chair with her very loyal clients.
The pandemic sparked an idea to open her own Salon with a friend and fellow stylist, Joanna. Most would think it was crazy to open up a business during times of uncertainty. However, everything seemed to fall into place and KROMA Kauai Hair Studio was born.
With over 14 years of experience behind the chair Emma specializes in Hair Color, Color Corrections, Men's and Women's Haircuts and has a newfound love for Skin Care. Emma is looking forward to seeing you at KROMA Kauai Hair Studio for all of your Hair and Skin Care needs.
Joanna specializes in Color corrections, Blonding techniques and advanced precision scissor and razor cuts for women and men.
Joanna always knew she was going to be a hairdresser. When she was very young, she would go the the salon with her mom and just watch in awe as her moms stylist would whip up her do.
After high school, she attended Pivot Point International Beauty Academy in Chicago. Once she graduated, she went on to work downtown Chicago at a small boutique Hair Salon. She was fortunate enough to learn from the best in the industry and the artistic director of the company. She eventually became a senior stylist and one of their educators.
Fast forward to today, Joanna has lived in Chicago, Austin, and now Kauai. She had the opportunity to get her feet wet in the banking industry as well as retail and merchandising. All of which molded her for being the business owner she is today.
As her and her husband relocated to Kauai to be near family, she started out in a local salon as an independent stylist. As grateful as she was for that experience, it was time to spread her wings and utilize all the knowledge she had gained as a business woman and hair stylist. Joanna opened KROMA Kauai Hair Studio with friend and fellow stylist Emma.
