Get To Know Our Stylists
Owner | Stylist
Whitney Kotowski
Hi. I am Whitney Kotowski, owner of Mane Moxie hair studio. Being a hair stylist and studio owner has been a dream come true. After graduating from cosmetology school, I enjoyed 20 years working at a local hair salon. I have studied hair styling techniques and taken instruction from many accomplished stylists from all over the United States. I continue to keep up with the latest techniques and trends in hair care, styling, and color treatment. I realized that with drive and hard work, I could achieve my passion to create a more intimate hair studio environment for my clients, which has been a career goal of mine. Also, in doing this, I can offer this experience to others as associate stylists and their clients in joining me at the studio.
I have been able to connect with so many amazing clients throughout the years. The experience of opening the hair studio and having my clients follow me has been beyond rewarding. It has been so gratifying that they have chosen to put their trust in me to make their hair look beautiful.
As always, I strive to provide each client with outstanding service and exceed their expectations.
Outside of the studio, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two kids, friends, and family.
