DIANA FOLINO-UJKAJ

Diana Folino-Ujkaj is the founder and creative force behind RUNWAY Salon & Beauty Bar, a destination defined by modern luxury, precision, and transformative beauty. With a career spanning over two decades, her foundation was shaped in Los Angeles, where she worked as a celebrity stylist within the fast-paced world of fashion and entertainment.

Her work has touched notable figures including Jessica Simpson, Eva Longoria, and Melania Trump, former First Lady, along with contributions behind the scenes of Dancing with the Stars, the Oscars, and Oprah Winfrey makeovers. Working coast-to-coast, Diana built a reputation for excellence that continues to follow her today.

Many of her longtime clients travel across the country to sit in her chair—drawn not only to her technical expertise, but to the unmistakable experience she creates. Her work is known to be both refined and intuitive, with a level of detail and care that clients feel is truly unmatched.

Diana is recognized for her signature work in dimensional color and luxury extensions, creating seamless, tailored transformations that enhance natural beauty while maintaining the integrity of the hair. But for Diana, her work extends far beyond the result—it is about the feeling, the confidence, and the experience each client carries with them long after they leave her chair.

With this same level of intention, Diana has personally trained and hand-selected each artist within RUNWAY, ensuring that every service reflects the brand’s commitment to a world-class, celebrity-level experience. The result is a team that operates with consistency, elevated standards, and a shared dedication to excellence.

Through RUNWAY, Diana has built more than a salon—it is a curated experience rooted in intention, elevated service, and the belief that beauty should be felt just as much as it is seen. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to ensure each guest feels confident, cared for, and transformed.
