Summary
Joana Hesse, a trailblazing stylist with four decades of experience, runs a salon in Cheetham Hill that’s more than just haircuts—it’s a sanctuary for those battling hair loss from alopecia, chemo, or aging. She crafts confidence through custom hair kits for students, offers private support spaces, and mentors the next generation. Originally from Ghana, she found her calling in Manchester in the 80s, opening her own salon in 1989 and becoming a pioneer for Black-owned businesses. With awards, community accolades, and a deep commitment to giving back, Joana champions small business resilience while transforming lives—one haircut at a time.
