Hi, I’m Julie — the hands and heart behind Poiema Salon. I’m a hairstylist with over 25 years of experience and a deep love for creating low-maintenance styles that feel effortless yet elevated. Whether it’s a customized haircut, dimensional color, or seamless HaloCouture extensions, I specialize in styles that grow out gracefully and fit into your real life.

Outside the salon, you’ll find me outdoors—biking, swimming, camping in the mountains, or relaxing at the beach. I love a good podcast (true crime or business tips are my go-tos), cooking without recipes, and keeping life simple with meals like meat and veggies. At home, I’m always organizing something, though I’ll admit—I leave most of the design to others (except when it comes to your hair, that’s my sweet spot!). At Poiema Salon, you’ll experience more than great hair. My focus is on hospitality, listening well, and creating a space where you feel heard, seen, and beautiful. I believe hair is personal—just like your story—and it’s my joy to help you express it.
