Carly Sai, Luna

Carly Sai started as a receptionist at JPS Dressers in 1995. JPS was a salon owned and operated by her mother, Joannie Rossiter, a Native Hawaiian business owner who started JPS through the entrepreneurial program offered by Alu Like. After 10 years of business, Joannie opened Paul Mitchell the School Honolulu in 2005 and for 15 years, Carly worked her way through all of the company’s departments: Sales, Education, and Operations.
In 2018 Carly became the Director of the school and structured a curriculum during covid that allowed the school to thrive. On September 30, 2023, Joannie retired as the school owner, closing the doors to Paul Mitchell The School Honolulu. Carly re-envisioned the space as Ulupono Salon and Spa, a professional salon and spa and training facility for future generations of beauty professionals.
Throughout her career Carly has become a certified Educator for Paul Mitchell the Schools and has also attended The Five Seeds of Leadership by local business consultant Glenn Furuya. Carly’s passion for education and growing businesses has led to the opening of a new generation of salons and spas for the local people of Hawai’i.
