INSTRUCTORS
JOVAN
I've spent over 20 years in the industry, beginning my journey in Chicago in 2004. I quickly found growth and direction at Solo Salon. Their partnership reignited my passion for education and gave me the opportunity to grow through industry-leading classes and training. Education quickly became the key to my success as an artist and has allowed me the tools to mentor and teach a growing catalog of successful hairdressers.
My specialty is razor cutting, dimensional color and business building. I have led Solo Salon’s Education and Training Department for more than 15 years alongside Carly. At Noetic, my goal is to further ensure every salon professional that takes a class with us feels challenged, inspired, and confident.
CARLY
I’ve been in the beauty industry since 2007 and have called Solo Salon home for the past 13 years. I’ve built an incredible clientele and helped create Solo Salon’s advanced education program. I specialize in long hair, natural sun-kissed highlights, and textured bobs— styles that feel effortless, chic and timeless.
Over the years, I’ve built a wealth of knowledge through hands-on experience, collaboration, and continued education—knowledge that inspired me to co-create Noetic. My goal is to help new stylists build thriving careers while giving seasoned stylists fresh inspiration.
