Connecting with their warm and easy culture, Jana has built her own haven for hair in the heart of old town Fairfax.

She focuses on creating cuts that look just as beautiful and effortless after the product is washed away as it did when you were sitting in her chair.

Her belief that even a minimal change can make one feel confident and create more significant changes in a life as a whole has shaped her passion for her clients.

As a young girl, Kiki was always drawn to colors and lines. As a teenager, she experimented with makeup and the world of special effects and earned her Cosmetology license the same year she graduated high school.

Wanting to improve and evolve her cutting skills on more stationary clients, Kiki got into the vigorous and precision Sassoon Cutting Program at only the age of twenty. She was able to zero in on the fine art of precision cutting using a wide range of different geometric cutting techniques. Although only an apprentice, she was invited to NY fashion week twice to prep the Libertine design house models prior to their runway walk. Unable to be in both the color and the cutting programs at Vidal Sassoon, Kiki began to search for opportunities where she could combine her cutting skills with color, helping her clients paint that personal canvas that they want. At Mara’s education focused and team working environment, she found her style haven to grow and perfect her craft of hairdressing.
