From Brazil to Manhattan, the master colourist and hair extensions specialist has come a long way, thriving on her artistry, resilience and empowerment.
The world has witnessed the rise of several professionals from across various sectors, but those who have stood apart, inspiring others, especially the next generation, are those who started everything from the ground up with passion, strong self-belief, and resilience. Making a career out of nothing but pure talent and dedication is not a walk in the park for everyone. However, true talents like Fabiana Cohen serve as inspiring examples for the world in ways more than one. Today, this incredible founder of an equally incredible brand, Fabi Pro Beauty, a salon in New York City, has made waves in the salon services niche, creating a positive impact in the industry through her work.
New York City is one place that gives birth to trends and where individuality shines. Fabiana Cohen carved a unique niche for herself here, from the ground up, after moving to the country from Brazil with her children, facing and overcoming challenges, and rebuilding her life in the new country. She is today the founder of Fabi Pro Beauty, where she specializes as a master colourist and hair extensions specialist. She offers services that go far beyond hair, offering people transformations, confidence and empowerment, something that has helped her stand apart from others. After moving to NYC, she leveraged her passion for beauty and resilience, which has today catapulted her to become known as the “Best Hair Extensions Specialist in NYC 2025.”
Her career began over a decade ago in Brazil, fuelled by her love of transformation and her talent for enhancing natural beauty. Relocated to Manhattan, she channelled the same passion into creating Fabi Pro Beauty, a luxury hair studio offering one-on-one VIP services. Her unique approach blends technical expertise with a deeply personal touch.
Explaining hair extensions, she says they are crafted from either human hair, helping to add length, volume, and texture. She specializes in seamless tape-in extensions that help in creating a natural, subtle blend with a person’s hair. The customized approach, tailored to a person’s hair type, features a gentle application designed to minimize damage and offers long-lasting results with high-quality extensions. This approach has helped Fabi Pro Beauty stand out as a luxury salon destination in New York.
When it comes to advanced color, Fabiana Cohen says that techniques such as balayage, or foil highlights help in elevating hairstyles with dimension and depth. With balayage, they offer sun-kissed, soft highlights for a natural and effortless look. The blonde highlights at the salon offer multi-tonal brightness for a blended and dynamic look. The gloss and tone treatment at the salon helps boost shine and refresh colour.
Besides offering these services, Fabi Pro Beauty also specializes in Keratin and Smoothing therapies for frizz-free hair, including keratin treatments, Magic Slick, and Brazilian Blowouts. Additionally, the salon excels in offering bridal hair and makeup services, including personalized trials, with long-wearing and photo-friendly makeup. The salon’s luxury hair repair services, featuring Olaplex and Milbon, help rebuild broken hair bonds and provide deep conditioning.
As a specialist in hair extensions, she has mastered advanced techniques, including seamless tape-ins, which deliver length, volume, and flawless blending without compromising hair health. And, as a master colourist, she helps create depth, vibrancy and dimension. Colour correction is also an area where she excels, assisting clients to recover from poor dye jobs with restorative techniques and luxury treatments.
Her journey is rooted in resilience, and now she is determined to empower people through beauty and genuine connection. Fabi Pro Beauty stands unique not just for its advanced techniques, but also for Fabiana’s personalized luxury experience. The salon’s and Fabiana Cohen’s achievements, such as being recognized in digital magazines and beauty platforms, and featured as an innovator in modern hair artistry and extensions, underscore her excellence in the field. She continues to inspire women to embrace beauty as a powerful form of self-expression.
