Looking for a hairstylist who can keep you looking sharp? Look no further than Ena'Vative Hair Studio! This Black Owned salon, owned by Seattle native Ena Robinson, recently opened in the Federal Way Commons mall and offers a variety of cosmetology services, including hair, nails, and makeup. But that's not all - they also offer a unique training-based structure through their program "Level Up Beauty Bootcamp" by Ena'Vative, which provides essential foundational haircare courses for both licensed and unlicensed students.

"I offer foundational classes in hairstyling and hair cutting, coloring; all of the basics, to help them be prepared for if they want to actually do their own business or work for someone else," said Ena Robinson. She continued, "I also offer training in pageantry and opportunities with New York Fashion Week." said Robinson.

But it doesn't stop with those who are licensed or working toward their cosmetology license. Robinson also exposes students to her training program so they can see if cosmetology is a career they want to pursue.

"Cosmetology educator is another part of what I do. And so with that, when I was doing it about five, six years ago, I was able to connect in the community with a lot of high schools and even be able to present Franklin High School, a school here in Federal Way, who actually is coming to visit in two weeks to see what it is that cosmetology is about, [and] to see if it's something that they want to be involved in." said Robinson

With her 20-plus years of experience and hands-on education in hair color, haircuts, hair additions, and overall healthy haircare for all hair types, Ena Robinson can create the perfect look for anyone she services.
