Mishawna Romero – Hairstylist

About Mishawna Romero

Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.

My husband Ryan Romero owns two franchises, in the commercial cleaning industry & I have a 10 year old son.

We are an X Games family. I skateboard too!

Q: Please tell us about your current, past, or future career. What do you love most about what you do?

I consider myself a working artist. I love being with my clients + giving them beautiful artwork on their hair. 17 years behind the chair. I specialize in Color + Extensions. One unique thing about my business is that I do ‘Silent Appointments’. What this means is my ladies come, bring their computer and get their work done while they get their hair done, with out the pressure to make small talk. Some call me the ‘Library Stylist” because I like it quiet when I’m doing hair.

Q: What advice would you give to people?

Having good hair and good makeup can make you look 10 years younger. Take the time to find your hair + makeup people now. The longer you wait – your hair can go into looking “witchy”. You are going to live a long healthy life, you might as well look good doing it!

Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years?

Working at my own studio/art space continuing to do hair. I love what I do.

Q: If you could choose anyone alive today and not a relative, with whom would you love to have lunch? Why? And where locally would you meet for this lunch?

Howard Stern. I would take him to Point Loma Seafoods. I’m a 25 year listener of his show. I was listening to him on my way to class at SDSU, when the Twin Towers went down. How he handled it before and after and his love of our Armed Forces & First Responders is amazing. I’ve learned so much from him because he interviews the most amazing people.

Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend:

Wake up early morning jog+ calisthenics (I don’t go to the gym) I jog in my neighborhood, and plop down on the sidewalk to do Abs, and pushups. Hang at home, work on my YouTube channel: ‘Mishawna Romero Hairstylist’. Then go to dinner at Point Loma Seafoods, or Miguel’s down by the harbor. Come home play with my cat, watch a little of my shows, and hop in bed and read myself to sleep.

Cozy, Family + my Cat, Safe.
