Joanna Idaly

Joanna Idaly has worked as an independent hairstylist in Elgin, Illinois, for 19 years and has been a business owner for 11 of them. Extensions are at the core of her practice. Many of her clients are people other salons had not served well, and a number arrive after a hard experience elsewhere, including extensions that did not blend. She cuts curly, wavy, coily and textured hair by working with how it behaves when dry, and she also works with fine, thin or thinning hair. Color and extension planning takes in natural hair, features, coloring and styling habits. She talks through what each option requires to maintain.
