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 specializes in lived-in blondes, dimensional brunettes, and long layered haircuts designed to grow out beautifully. Her work focuses on soft brightness, natural depth, and effortless movement, making her an ideal stylist for clients who want polished hair without an overdone look.
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.
Keira specializes in precision cutting for all lengths, with a strong focus on shape retention and texture integration. She’s comfortable cutting all textures, loves cutting short hair, and brings the same care and intention to every guest.
Her approach is rooted in hair health and making clients feel respected, heard, and comfortable from start to finish. She thinks about the grow out process during every service, because great results should look just as good six weeks later. Clients leave her chair feeling glowy, confident, and already looking forward to their next appointment.
She stays sharp through Sassoon fundamentals, online color theory, and hands on learning from people she respects in the industry.
Outside the salon, Keira recharges by exploring the city, visiting green spaces, and meditating. Her chair is a safe space, whether you need to vent, sit in silence, or just be around good energy.
Maya specializes in lived-in color and seamless sew-in weft extensions. Her work is rooted in customization, with a strong focus on choosing the right techniques and products for each individual’s hair type, lifestyle, and goals.
She’s a great fit for clients looking for natural-looking extensions, dimensional color, and cuts that feel intentional yet easy to maintain. Maya especially enjoys working with guests who value education, trust the process, and want results that feel both elevated and personal.
Maya stays current by actively studying emerging techniques and trends, blending modern inspiration with practical, real-life wearability. She values the relationships she builds with her clients and takes pride in creating an experience where people feel heard, cared for, and confident.
Outside the salon, Maya loves keeping up with pop culture and is rarely far from her Dunkin’ coffee.
Paola specializes in cutting, polished blowouts, heat styling, and Brazilian Blowout Free treatments designed to enhance hair health and shine. Her work is rooted in thoughtful technique and longevity, with a focus on bringing out each client’s natural beauty in a way that feels confident and wearable.
Her favorite moments are the transformations, the ones where someone catches their reflection and walks out feeling like themselves, only more.
She stays current through continued education, drawing inspiration from her coworkers, and staying genuinely curious about her craft. Every guest she works with gets her full attention, and her goal is always the same: results that feel elevated, personal, and built around your real life.
Outside the salon, Paola brings that same warmth and care to everything she does.
Saul specializes in K-tip extensions, dimensional color for dark and textured hair, and long, flowing layered haircuts that feel effortless and timeless. With nearly a decade behind the chair, his work is rooted in transformation, confidence, and results that prioritize hair health and longevity.
Saul is an ideal stylist for clients seeking natural-looking extensions, thoughtful color for darker hair, and styles that feel elevated yet low maintenance. He is certified in multiple extension brands and trained in several extension techniques, allowing him to customize each install based on hair type, density, and lifestyle.
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.
Viviana specializes in custom color, gray blending, color corrections, and scalp and hair health, with a strong foundation in extensions. Her work is rooted in the belief that great hair starts with a great consultation. She takes the time to understand each client’s vision, lifestyle, and goals so that every look feels personalized and realistic to maintain long after they leave the chair.
Viviana is a natural fit for clients who are open to guidance, value self-care, and want to invest in the health and longevity of their hair. She brings a creative and detail-oriented approach to every appointment, combining technical skill with a genuine commitment to making sure each client walks away feeling confident and cared for.
Outside the salon, you can find Viviana exploring coffee shops, thrifting for hidden gems, traveling, hitting the beach, or soaking up the energy of a good festival. She brings that same sense of curiosity and warmth into her work, and what she loves most about doing hair is the connection it creates.
Being able to make someone feel beautiful while also improving the health of their hair is what keeps her passionate about her 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.
