Our Story

Meet the Owner...

Crowned Salon Studios was created in 2024. But the dream started way before then.

Owner Kristen Varoli has been in the beauty industry since 2003 and has had a passion for all things beauty & business since she was a little girl.

She's a Pittsburgh native, former commission salon owner, podcast host of the In Demand Hairstylist, and international business coach for salon owners and hairstylists.

Kristen created Crowned Salon Studios out of the desire to help beauty professionals have the freedom and flexibility to create a career, income, and lifestyle they love...all while becoming all they were created to be.
