Owner, Stylist + Colorist

Most kids dream of becoming an astronaut or singer, but not Louanne Ferro.

Taking a pair of scissors like a duck to water at age 11, this San Diego native has a passion for hair that has taken her to the tents of NYFW and beyond.

A self proclaimed lover of science, Louanne has taken both college chemistry classes and is a certified trichologist through the International Association of Trichology.

She is the owner of Joy. A Hair Space. She has been a stylist since 2002 and a salon owner since 2013. She’s also been a international educator for corporate beauty brands since 2005 and currently working for Evo Haircare.

Every client is bound to learn something new about hair while sitting in her chair and don’t be suprised if you leave the salon with some hair homework!

Louanne is limited in new client availability.

Stylist + Colorist

Ashley’s passion for the art of hair began at a young age, long before she ever stepped foot in a salon. What started as a natural talent and self-taught curiosity quickly grew into a full-blown calling. Driven by her hunger for knowledge and dedication to her craft, she enrolled in cosmetology school and graduated in 2007.

Soon after, Ashley was hired by an exclusive salon where she completed an intensive training program, mastering advanced cutting and coloring techniques from TIGI, along with chemical services, up-styling, and makeup artistry.

Never one to settle, Ashley continues to push her creative boundaries—staying on top of emerging trends, refining her own innovative techniques, and investing in advanced education through workshops, classes, and live demonstrations.

Her enthusiasm, artistry, and years of experience shine through in every guest she works with—making each visit as inspiring as it is beautiful.

Ashley is currently not accepting new clients.
