In our pursuit of trying something new and creative, we were lucky to have crossed paths Stella An - a highly skilled hairstylist with over 35+ years of roots based in Flushing, Queens. Over the course of a year we got to know Stella’s story, starting from her younger days working at a famous salon in Myeong Dong, South Korea to immigrating to America and building her own business, name, and family in Flushing.
