Iva Pospíšilová
Ivana was born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic. After graduating from cosmetology school and working for several years in Prague as a hairdresser and salon owner, Ivana moved from the City of a Hundred Spires to the east coast of the United States of America in 1991.
In the United States, Ivana received extensive training in hair cutting and coloring at the most advanced hair academies: the British academy Toni & Guy in Los Angeles and Dallas and the French academy Jacques Dessange in New York City.
For years, Ivana brought the European edge to her Floridian city as a hairdresser in several reputable Sarasota, Florida-based hair salons. While living and working in the USA, to broaden her knowledge of hair color, Ivana continued her color education at L’Oréal Professional. At L’Oréal, Ivana earned the title Master Colorist.
In February 2011, Ivana opened her own studio in Florida called Couture Hair Salon, which she ran for four years. For her, opening a salon of her own in the United States marked the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
In 2015, Ivana decided that the time had come to say au revoir to the United States of America and to return to the Czech Republic. Having recently returned to Prague after living in the United States for 25 years, Ivana now aims to bring her wealth of international experience and extensive understanding of hairdressing and business ownership to her home city.
Ivana perceives hairdressing as an art form, and she brings her knowledge, creativity, and love for design to every individual client. In particular, Ivana loves creating new looks for clients, which allows her to implement and expand her imagination and creativity as she works.
Ivana truly loves hair design and interacting with people. Most importantly, she is passionate about helping people to look and feel their best. At her newly-opened hair salon, Vlasové Studio Ivanka, she intends to do just that!
