✨ TWO YEARS OF FORMOSA HAIR STUDIO ✨

Two years. ❤️ I honestly can’t believe I’m saying that.

What started as a dream has grown into something beyond what I ever imagined. As a young girl, I dreamed of becoming a hairstylist. I followed that passion, turned my dream into a career, and now, almost 21 years later, I’m not only a hairstylist — I’m a salon owner. ✂️✨

Two years ago, I took a leap of faith and opened Formosa Hair Studio. Since then, this little dream has continued to grow — so much so that just two years in, we’ve already expanded! Watching the salon grow, bringing new people into the Formosa family, and seeing this dream become bigger than I imagined is something I will forever be grateful for.

But none of this happens without YOU.

To every client who has sat in our chairs, trusted us with their hair, referred a friend, shared a post, left a review, or simply supported Formosa along the way — thank you. You are the reason we continue to grow.

To my family and friends, thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, supporting me, and cheering me on through every step of this journey. Your love and support have meant more than you know.

Formosa Hair Studio is more than just a salon. It is a dream I worked years to build, a passion that has shaped my life, and a place that continues to grow because of the incredible people who walk through our doors.

Here’s to 2 years of Formosa, almost 21 years behind the chair, and so many more dreams still to come. 🥂✨

Thank you for making this dream a possibility. Thank you for helping me grow. And thank you for being part of the Formosa family.

With so much gratitude,
Katie ❤️
