Celena Fahey
Owner & Stylist
After graduating from The Paul Mitchell School here in Costa Mesa, Celena took her desire to be a great stylist very seriously. Once completing an assistant program at an upscale salon in Corona Del Mar, she steadily began gaining her own clientele.
She is passionate about everything she does in her life, especially doing hair. Making people feel beautiful and confident is what she does best. Celena is a true perfectionist and is very detailed. For all of these reasons, she was able to build her business quickly and it was not long before an opportunity presented itself.
A small boutique salon came up for sale on the edge of Newport Beach’s Cannery Village. She realized it was time to get serious and open her own salon. Finally, her dream of owning a salon came true…XO Salon opened its doors in Dec 2006 and has been home ever since.
