OUR TEAM
Ignacio García - Owner/Lead Stylist
Welcome to IGNA Hair Studio! I’m Ignacio. A native of Guadalajara, México, I moved to Northern Virginia with my family when I was 10 and am proud to call this area my home. And although my mom and sister were in the hair industry, it wasn’t until later in life that I discovered my true passion for hairstyling.
After graduating from high school in Loudoun County, I explored various paths—from working on horse farms to studying auto servicing and business. My journey took a turning point when I started working part-time at the salon where my mom was employed. I was captivated by the atmosphere and the transformative experience that clients had. It opened my eyes to the deeper impact of hairstyling—not just hair, but enhancing confidence and well-being.
This experience inspired me to attend hair school, and I’ve been dedicated to this craft for over eight years now. In 2020, I opened IGNA Hair Studio, and the past four years have been nothing short of incredible. I’m excited for the future, as I aim to expand my studio into a full-fledged salon and eventually establish a hair academy.
Currently, it’s just my brother Edgar and me, but we share big dreams and ambitions. I look forward to meeting each of you and providing an experience that goes beyond hair—one that celebrates our humanity and connection.
Edgar García - Assistant/Apprentice
My name is Edgar, and I’m an aspiring hairstylist. Before diving into the world of hair, I spent three years working as a waiter, exploring my options for a career. Embracing hairstyling felt like the perfect fit, especially with my mom and two siblings by my side, all of whom have years of experience to guide me.
One of my proudest moments so far has been taking the lead on cutting my friend’s hair. I’m excited to delve into hair color next, especially experimenting with techniques like color melting.
When I’m not focused on hair, you’ll find me lifting weights, hanging out with friends, or gaming on my computer. I know I have a journey ahead, but I’m fully committed to the path of becoming a hairstylist!
