Julio Avienda has been transforming the way people feel about themselves through the art of hairstyling. As a first-generation Latino salon owner, Julio’s passion for hair began at a young age, styling his siblings’ hair and dreaming of a future where he could help others enhance their image.
Specializing in color, Julio is particularly skilled in lightening services and creating dimensional, lived-in looks. He believes that healthy hair is the foundation of any great style and prioritizes the health of his clients’ hair above all else. Julio’s commitment to excellence extends to his ongoing education. He stays at the forefront of industry trends by attending classes led by inspiring hair artists, gaining new perspectives on hair color and cutting techniques.
At J. Avienda Salon, Julio’s goal is to connect with each client, making them feel their best and using hair as a canvas to create beautiful, personalized works of art.

Bre is especially drawn to clients who value a thoughtful process, trust professional guidance, and want hair that feels elevated yet wearable. She enjoys creating color and cuts that fit seamlessly into her clients’ lifestyles while still feeling intentional and refined.
Outside the salon, Bre finds inspiration in the outdoors, particularly the sun, the beach, and the vibrant colors of summer. She brings that same sense of brightness and ease into her work. What she loves most about hairstyling is the final reveal! Seeing her clients’ reactions and knowing they feel confident, refreshed, and truly themselves.
Nicholas 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.
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.

His approach is simple and intentional. Healthy hair always comes first, low-maintenance results matter, and a great leave-in conditioner is non-negotiable. Saul believes hair should enhance daily life, not complicate it.
Outside the salon, Saul draws inspiration from travel, fashion, pop culture, and the way hair is worn across different cities and cultures. What he values most is building genuine relationships with his clients and being a trusted part of their journey toward feeling confident, polished, and seen.

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.
