Meet Our Founders
Justin, Owner of The Color Bar
Justin is not only the creative force behind The Color Bar but also a passionate advocate for education and creativity. With a background in both the beauty industry and community service, Justin has always believed in the transformative power of creativity. His vision for The Color Bar goes beyond providing exceptional hair services; he aims to create a space where clients feel inspired and empowered. Justin’s dedication to giving back to the community led him to co-found Unleash Your Imagination, where he leverages his network and resources to support children’s education and creativity.
As a child, Justin attended Tomorrow's Promise Montessori Schools, an experience that shaped his love for learning and creativity. His early exposure to the Montessori method, which emphasizes self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play, inspired him to support educational initiatives that foster these values.
Kaye Bohning, Co-Founder of Unleash Your Imagination
Kaye Bohning is a dedicated educator and community leader with over 25 years of experience in fostering creativity and literacy among children. She is the Executive Director of Tomorrow’s Promise Montessori Schools, which operates three amazing locations dedicated to providing high-quality Montessori education.
