Jo Oauknine.

In the eighties, Jo moved to Cannes, on the French Riviera, and quickly became the official stylist of the “Cannes Film Festival” for the next ten years. Wanting an expression of his personal style in an environment of warm opulence, Jo and his wife, Myriam, opened “Warner Brush” and “Warner Café”, paying homage to a clientele of the world’s most acclaimed film stars and executives in the film industry.

Fulfilling his ultimate dream, Jo and his family immigrated to the United States and found their new home away from home in Arizona.

Learning about American culture and language through their customers, Jo and Myriam once again decided to open their own salon. As Jo has said, “My dream has always been to open a salon where I would gather the best talents and create a true beauty destination in a warm, inviting atmosphere.” Jo Paris Salon and Spa clearly has made Jo’s dream a reality.
