If I could rate a 10 star I would because I finally found a real blonde specialist! I love that a salon owner like Gemy makes education a priority and has built such an amazing team. How everyone is on the same page in the way they work together is impressive.
Hair Cutter to Blonde Color Specialist
Before becoming a blonde specialist, Gemy began her career at Mario Tricoci’s of Chicago. There stylists did haircutting and colorists did color, so she chose to be a stylist to master Vidal Sassoon haircutting techniques.
Her clientele included First Ladies, pro-athletes, and TV personalities. With an entrepreneurial family background, she opened Studio 39 at age 24 in 2001, and in 2002 and 2004, she attended L’Oréal Academy in Soho, New York to learn advanced hair color techniques and formulation.
Kansas City’s First Blonde Hair Specialist
Born a blonde, she knew the nuances of perfecting lighter tones, so her clientele grew by word of mouth.
Soon her clientele tripled, and the salon noticed new requests for the “blonde color specialist”, which was not yet an industry term.
Balayage put her and the salon at the top of search in 2015, because Studio 39 was one of the first in Kansas City to do free hand hair painting techniques well.
Training Success
That was when Gemy realized there was a void for specialized hair color, and custom salon work in Kansas City.
To help meet the demand of personal requests, she began training her co-stylists and salon assistants in her cut and color techniques.
This became the foundation to the advanced education we use today.

Around that time she started posting hair tips on the first Studio 39 website which later became one of KC’s first beauty blogs. The salon training programs she created for hair cutting, hair color, highlighting, and blonde grew with business development and team building workshops.
With help from her team, training skilled and ethical service practice is how Studio 39 became known as an established luxury salon.

One blog reader was a local producer who had followed Gemy’s career. She invited her to guest host on KCTV5 Better Beauty. For 5 years she wrote the content for regularly aired segments until 2018, when she began a build on a second location.
