by Julie Ann Olsen

For 16 years, Julie Ann worked closely with children of all needs and abilities, creating nurturing, inclusive spaces that celebrated individuality. As the founder of an early childhood center, she embraced the Reggio Emilia philosophy, believing every child carries a unique light worth honoring and cultivating through creative expression and connection.

 

Julie Ann has a gentle, compassionate heart for all living things. Her natural patience and deep empathy shine through in every interaction, making others feel safe, seen, and valued. She also has a gift for listening deeply and bringing to life the creative vision of each individual. This talent has been demonstrated through her early childhood center and throughout her interior design projects, where she thoughtfully shaped environments that inspired growth, comfort, and self-expression.

 

As she supported the development of countless children, Julie Ann was reminded of something profound—growth is lifelong. In reflecting on her own journey, she felt a calling to use her creative gifts in the beauty industry, a world she’s been drawn to since childhood. With a sharp eye for detail, she understands how to work with space, lines, angles, and dimension, bringing shape and color together in a way that feels both natural and transformative. Just as she once designed classrooms and interiors with intention, she now approaches hair with that same precision and artistry. She believes we are all created uniquely, made with purpose, and entrusted with gifts that are meant to be shared.

 

Now a licensed stylist and creative professional specializing in custom hair services and production work, Julie Ann brings that same heart-centered approach to her work behind the chair. Her background in designing spaces that empower self-expression seamlessly translates into her work with hair. More than styling, each appointment is an invitation for guests to feel seen, heard, and celebrated in whatever season they’re in. Whether through a thoughtful cut, a bold color, or a quiet moment of affirmation, her mission is to remind every soul that they are deeply loved and worthy of being seen.
