Iva's Retreat Salon Owner

welcome to the club of badasses! I'm Janelle, hair color specialist and curl fanatic. Being able to transform someone's look, boost their confidence and bring out their inner badass excites me!

​

as a fellow curly girl, I understand the unique challenges that come with managing curly hair.

The struggle to find products that truly cater to your needs can be frustrating and often leads to disappointing results. using my signature hair products, i will show you how to take your curls from simple to stunning!

​

with 19+ years of experience as a stylist, my passion to empower other curly-haired individuals to embrace & enhance their curls with confidence continues to grow. I specialize in low maintenance color and curl transformations. i strive to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and techniques in the industry, and invest in advanced cut and color education every year. 

​

one-night stands are not my thing, my goal is to build a relationship with you and your hair. my new guest service packages are designed to cater to all your curly hair needs including: a porosity test, curl detox session, and creating a six-month success plan. With my guidance, you will achieve the same level of success in managing your curls at home as I do in the salon.

​

I am a major foodie. When I am not planning my next adventure to a new restaurant, I am chasing after my toddler & juggling the chaos that comes with being a mom of "2-in-2."

 

I know the value of having "me time," that's why I've created a space that helps you to escape the day-to-day stress so that you can relax, recharge, and leave looking & feeling like a badass!

am i the right stylist for you?

My goal is to provide a fun and relaxing escape from your daily stress, while helping you to find a look that makes you look & feel like the badass you are!

​

While I adore short and sassy cuts, I focus on what I do & love best; curly hair, fun & low maintenance color and hair that is shoulder length or longer.

​

If you're looking for hair that is fun, sexy and versatile enough to wear in a professional setting, yet edgy enough to wear to a girl's night out, I'm your girl!
