    Kira Goodger

    Salon Co-Ordinator

    Kira has loved cosmetology from a young age, growing up in the age of YouTube makeup tutorials and 2010s nail art popularity. This love of makeup, nails, and hair led her to attend cosmetology courses at a technical college while in high school. Although she decided not to become a stylist, she maintains a love for the salon environment, and her background comes in handy for understanding products and salon needs—with the added bonus of helping to maintain her own pink hair!

    With over 10 years of customer service experience, Kira has valued her time in small businesses for the opportunity to get to know each client. Working at the front desk means getting to greet everyone and admire their hair journeys. She loves watching clients' faces brighten after getting their hair done and being able to contribute to a welcoming, vibrant salon culture at Julian.Marc.Salon.
