AngelaRobb
CEO
People often ask me how I came up with the name “Karma”. I have been in this industry for almost 20 years, in that time, I have seen more people who are consistently trying to take care of everyone around them without taking time for themselves. They often come to me totally drained, mentally and physically. My job, as I saw it, was to help them take some time out for themselves. For me to listen; and for them to relax, rejuvenate, recuperate, meditate, or whatever you want to call it…..sometimes, just to cry and be heard. Yes, my job is more than just fixing hair and polishing nails. When I opened Karma, I wanted to create a place where you can come, not be judged or snubbed, and just relax--however you like to do it. I have built a fantastic team, with whom I now consider my family. We have undeniable chemistry, and we all want to create the same feeling for you when you enter. We are building relationships with our clients here. My hope is that you would feel the same about us.

I was very fortunate to train with some of the most talented stylists via Vidal Sassoon over the last 10 years. I have attended numerous hair cutting courses through the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Seattle Washington, London England, and New York City. I was also extremely lucky to attend the “level 10 blonde” course with Sara Pestella. It should be every hairstylist's ambition to attend her course.
