Adopted from Korea at three months old into an American family with Polish roots, Joanne St. Onge gained an early understanding of what it means to create belonging wherever she goes. Growing up in a small town in Eastern Washington watching her grandmother make pierogis from scratch in the kitchen, Joanne dreamed about traveling the world, moving to the big city, and living a creative life. Effortlessly borderless, understanding, and kind, Joanne’s biggest inspiration is her father who modeled an unwavering love for life in response to adversity. With an innate curiosity and love for cultures across the world, Joanne draws inspiration from global artists as a perpetual student of her craft. With over 16 years of industry expertise, Joanne is known for the care, professionalism, and creativity she brings to her studio.
The St. Onge Story
As a leading hair studio specializing in luxury extensions in the PNW, Joanne’s intentional approach is centered on emerging the big-picture vision through building unique connections on an individual level. After becoming a top educator and working backstage at runway shows, Joanne opened her first studio in Bellevue, Washington in 2013. In 2023, Joanne opened her second location in her hometown of Moses Lake as a meaningful return to her community. The St. Onge 1-on-1 approach is designed to cultivate a private, relaxing, and luxurious atmosphere. With every detail considered, the St. Onge experience extends beyond creating the hair of your dreams—it is about magnifying the impact we can have in the world when we walk out of the studio feeling energized, confident, and beautiful.
