IN JIANA'S OWN WORDS
Hi, I'm Jiana! I recently moved to the Charleston Coast from the sweetest place on earth! I've been behind the chair for over four years and have been a cosmetology educator for over two. This career means so much more to me than just hair - with every guest it is about conversation, connection, and helping them feel confident and beautiful through a customized look that is made just for them. I specialize in blonding, soft and effortless custom color, and extensions. Back home, my career led me to own my own space for several years, and I had the opportunity to educate newer stylists and play an important role in their journey.
When I'm not behind the chair, I love spending time with my family and friends! I grew up dancing at a local studio and then I taught baby ballet/tap classes for years! My boyfriend and I have a two year old pointer puppy, she absolutely loves being outside and I love getting to take her for walks to explore! There is so much to do and enjoy in this new area, but I can't get enough beach days, shopping, or spin classes!
I am so excited to be a part of the wonderful team at Salt + Slate and can't wait to create beautiful hair here! I hope to connect with you all soon!
