Mary Cromeans

Mary Cromeans is a San Diego-based color educator and salon owner who helps working stylists tighten their craft without losing the rhythm of real salon life. She is an International Trainer for John Paul Mitchell Systems and co-owns A Robert Cromeans Salon, where her chair-side specialties read like a greatest-hits setlist: blonding, dimensional color, vivid tones, and truly solid grey coverage.

Her story starts early, and it matters: Mary has been a hairdresser since 17 and stepped into education at 18, building a career around translating big-stage technique into Tuesday-at-2:00pm practicality. On Hairbrained Live Academy, she teaches efficiency with intention, like a 15-foil highlight placement designed to honor natural curl pattern while delivering maximum impact with fewer foils. She also appears in JPMS eLearning content, sharing polished, repeatable finishing methods.

If you want color education that respects your time, your hands, and your clientele, Mary’s an easy “reach out and start the conversation” kind of mentor.
