“I am Jacob, the founder of Jo:Hwa Hair & Living. For over two decades, I have breathed life into the hair industry, painting strokes of passion and creativity across every strand. I like to believe that I embody different roles: a salon owner with a passion for transforming and bringing joy to my clients, as well as a artist with a pursuit of excellence in diverse realms like fashion shows, magazines, and captivating photoshoots.
In my career, I have sought enlightenment from esteemed hair academies and salons that span the globe. From the graceful elegance of Korea to the avant-garde brilliance of the United States, the cosmopolitan allure of Canada, the breath-taking landscapes of Australia, and the timeless traditions of Japan, I have immersed myself in the wisdom of these revered institutions. Guided by their teachings, I have honed my expertise to perfection, specialising in the art of hair cutting techniques and various K-beauty perms.
I believe even after 20 years; my passion remains unwavering. The joy I feel when each customer shines is what fuels me. From the very first meeting, I strive to become the hairstylist that each of my customers can't wait to see again.”
