Smitten is a new concept and approach to the standard salons in the beauty industry. Although new, the salon took ten years to come into existence. In 1997 while working at Habitude and residing in Studio #4 in Seattle, WA; the notion to create his own space came to mind. However, friends close to Joseph at the time, encouraged him to work in more established salons elsewhere. This eventually sent him on a different path around the city, state, country, and planet....
After a stint working on cruiseships as a stylist and living and working in England, Joseph returned to Seattle in the summer of 2006. As fate would serve, Joseph happened upon the same Studio #4 he once occupied in 1997. Without hesitation he set about converting the studio space; and in September 2008 the long awaited dream of opening his own salon almost became a reality. But, the hands which deal us our fated paths had other plans in mind, and a serendipitous trip to Savannah began a series of events that resulted in his return to the south, his native state of Georgia.
Smitten is located in the heart of the Historic District of Savannah. The charm and warmth of both the salon and Joseph harken one back to a different period in time. The experience and feeling of being catered to is unparalled; from the moment he greets you, to the moment you are walking out the door with a fresh new look and style.
