“As an award winning hairdresser and platform artist, Joan Novak understands the hairdressers creative experience in a way that most photographers can’t.
She not only can help guide your journey, but capture exactly what you conceptualized.
She cares, deeply about your success and that makes working with her magical”.

“ I recently did my 3rd photoshoot with Joan Novak, and she truly exceeded my expectations.
Not only did the photos turn out beautifully, but the process was smooth and simple.
Communication was great and Joan was always more than happy to answer any questions.
I would highly recommend Joan to all.
With her already having a hairdressing background, Joan knows what needs highlighting and has a very creative eye while being meticulous with editing."
