Kara Pezzimenti
Owner / Master Stylist / Colorist
Hairdressing has always been my happy place. I love the hands-on nature of my craft and the unique connection I get to build with each individual. I am deeply committed to the collaborative process—both with my clients and with the Union team—because I believe greatness happens in togetherness. After more than twenty years in the industry, I still consider it a gift to be challenged, to keep learning, and to grow every day.
For me, suitability, balance, and proportion are the foundations of gorgeous, effortless hair. My style is modern yet rooted in the classics, with a love for looks that are soft, pretty, and perfectly undone.

Yumi Chalmers
Master Stylist / Colorist
The ultimate goal of hairdressing for me is to be a day-maker for every person who sits in my chair. When it comes to my work, I believe care and attentiveness best fuel my creative vision. When I blend that together with intentional hands, it gives me an opportunity to execute the right and desired look for each guest. Years of experience with a multitude of hair types has left me well rounded, well versed, and always eager to learn and perfect something new. My specialty is my attention to detail in every cut and color for all of my clients.
Why Union: I love working at Union because of the positive and supportive energy that is generated amongst everyone on the Union team. I am happy to be able to share in this energy myself, and then share it with my clients.
