Senior Stylist & Redken Artist

Mariela was born and raised in Gilroy, California and attended Gavilan College where she earned her Costmetology License. She loves her career because she has the ability to instantly change peoples mood and self esteem by simply changing their look. She loves being able to enhance someone's color and cut and educate them on how to replicate it at home. So many people leave salons not being able to mimic what's been done to them and she strives to change that.

Mariela loves educating other stylists which led her to become a Redken Educator so that she can share her experiences and knowledge throughout the industry.  She often spends her Sundays & Mondays traveling to teach other stylists new techniques and skills.

She is passionate and incredibly proficient in both hair color AND haircutting. There are many stylists that are only strong in one or the other and she feels that because they compliment each other, it’s important to be a master at both. The biggest compliment to her work is when someone thinks that her client’s hair color is natural. Amazing hair color should be able to compliment our skin tone and make us look radiant even without makeup! 

In her free time she enjoys teaching hair color and haircutting classes, photography, spending time with her adorable dog Cooper, cooking with her husband JR and entertaining their friends and family.
