Joan

Born in Zambia, Joan turned the loss of her father into the fuel for her mission to uplift others. For over 20 years, she’s built a thriving beauty business, specialising in all hair types, and providing her clients with more than just a great haircut—she offers empowerment and self-discovery. A qualified speaker, Joan shares lessons on resilience and embracing authenticity, inspiring others to rise above their challenges. Recognised with numerous awards, including Belmont Woman of the Year and as an Iconic Woman by the Women Economic Forum, Joan’s journey has caught the attention of Oprah, who named her an Oprah Daily Insider and Ambassador. Joan’s passions extend beyond beauty—she loves dancing and cooking, and brings that same energy and heart into everything she does.
