about tuana | Philanthropy | about the founder | our team
Tuana Hair Design is a European salon whose stylists live everyday by imagination, inspiration and creation. Tuana's owners, Kazim and Ergun are brothers, who are originally from Turkey who have been in the industry for twenty years. Tuana (meaning goddess of beauty in Turkish) opened in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2001. In the past seven years the salon created such a large and loyal client base that a second Tuana Hair Design location opened in Denver in September 2005.
Both Tuana Hair Design locations are extremely successful salons and continue to cultivation extraordinary talented hairstylists. Tuana is considered a European salon because our owners attended cosmetology school, trained and worked in Europe for more than fifteen years. We offer European originated services rarely found elsewhere like threading (a non-chemical form of hair removal), razor cutting, European influenced color techniques, Japanese straightening and European hair extensions.
And now…after so many years in the industry, countless hours, hundreds of fashion shows, an abundant amount of photo shoots, thousands of cans of Does It All, three Tuana’s and a remarkable amount of passion we continue to build a solid foundation for the industry today!
