    Nicholas Rountree has been bringing his artistic touch to the world of hair for over 2 years. With a background in dancing, Nicholas found his passion for hairstyling backstage, assisting dancers with their hair and falling in love with the craft. He specializes in cuts and color services with a particular fondness for blondes, lived-in colors, and curly hair.

    Nicholas believes that every head of hair is unique, and he prides himself on working closely with his clients to create styles that complement their lifestyles and fulfill their hair dreams. One of his most cherished moments as a hairstylist was witnessing a client’s blind reaction to a transformative cut and color, a moment that not only filled the client with joy and confidence but also reaffirmed Nicholas’s passion for making people feel like their best selves.

    Dedicated to honing his skills, Nicholas is always eager to take classes and stay updated with the latest hair trends to provide the highest quality service. He wants his clients to know that his chair is a safe space, where everyone is welcome, and his ultimate goal is to ensure that each person leaves feeling better, more confident, and with hair that truly suits them.

    Since starting her journey in the beauty industry in 2023, Maya has quickly become known for her expertise in cutting, blonding, extensions, and blowouts. Her mission is to empower her clients, helping them feel confident and look their best. Maya believes that hair care is deeply personal, emphasizing that not every product is suitable for every type of hair.

    One of her most memorable experiences was transforming a client’s poorly installed extensions. After rooting and reinstalling them, the client’s overwhelming joy and near tears of happiness reaffirmed Maya’s passion for hairstyling.

    Maya stays on the cutting edge of trends by actively engaging with the latest techniques on Instagram and TikTok. She values the relationships she builds with her clients, cherishing the opportunity to make new connections and enhance their natural beauty.

    Outside of the salon, Maya is a big fan of Dunkin’ and stays connected with the latest in pop culture.

    Breanna Murillo began her hairstyling career motivated by the energy and creativity she saw in others while she managed the front desk at a salon. Eager to be hands-on, she transitioned to the stylist’s chair, where she now begin to shine.

    An avid lover of the outdoors, Breanna draws inspiration from the sun, the beach, and the vibrant greenery of summer, infusing her work with the same energy and brightness.

    What Breanna loves most about hairstyling is the transformative moment of the final reveal—seeing her clients’ reactions and knowing she’s made them feel and look their best. She is enthusiastic about learning from the seasoned stylists around her and values the mentorship she receives, as it enhances her skills and deepens her understanding of the craft.

    I stumbled into the world of hair through Julio's inspiring journey. It turns out, being surrounded by hair tutorials, beauty shows, and stylist tales is contagious—I've officially caught the hair bug and I’m thrilled to channel my passion into operations management at J. Avienda Salon!

    With a degree in Health Administration and 18 years in clinical research—juggling studies, staff, and patient safety—I'm ready to apply that meticulous coordination to maintaining the integrity of not just trials, but tresses.

    At the salon, I’m mesmerized daily by the stylists' blend of creativity, science, and a pinch of psychology—it’s like watching magic happen! And when I’m not marveling at their work? You can find me debating the finer points of the perfect pizza.
