THE TEAM
CHI WAH : STYLISTChi Wah has been at her craft since 1985. She always had a longing to do hair but it wasn't until her thirties that she felt comfortable jumping in. She started her career working under Karen Maccarone at Avatar. There she fell in love with AVEDA, and that began a thirty year relationship with the brand. Chi Wah has a love of learning and has taken years of advanced education all over the world. She has studied with AVEDA, Alexandre de Paris, Arrojo, Deva Curl, Goldwell, as well as others. She has started an apprenticeship program over 20 years ago and has taught most of the Aveda educated stylists in Rochester, many of which now own their own salons - a fact she is very proud of today. Chi Wah has four children and a granddaughter. She loves to knit, listen to live music, eat exotic food, as well as travel to visit her baby sister Mimi whenever possible.

HEATHER : STYLIST
Heather started her career apprenticing under Chi Wah's first apprentice, Bronwyn Commesso back at Tru Salon. She had taken some time off to raise her two youngest children and came back behind the chair with us at Chi Wah Organica. She has a love of learning and in 2021 she went back to school to obtain her Barbering Licence. Her hobbies include tending to her massive vegetable garden, camping, crafting, painting, sports, and of course family time with her husband and four children.
PAIGE : CUSTOMER CARE & APPRENTICE
Paige came to us at the most perfect time. She was attending Empire beauty school part-time and working as a waitress when one of our salon clients became one of her regular customers. He encouraged her to apply at our salon, feeling like she would be the perfect fit, and he was right!! Paige has 15 years of customer service experience. She grew up watching her grandmother in the beauty industry and always dreamed it would be where she would land. During the pandemic she took a braiding class online, and that inspired her to apply to school. She graduated in early 2022 and will be Apprenticing Chi Wah and the other stylists as well as helping out at the Front Desk. In her free time, Paige loves to dance and swim. She also enjoys trivia nights, traveling, spending time with her family and friends, and all things Disney!
