She loves major style changes, applying and cutting extensions, and has an impeccable eye for men's grooming and design. Her favorite haircut to perform is a classic bob, while dry cuts, razor cutting, and envisioning haircuts that suit the individual's natural texture are some of her passions.

Not long after starting her career locally in Seattle, Avian moved to New York City to pursue her dream of working in fashion. She participated in sixteen seasons of New York Fashion Week, and has had her work featured on the covers of magazines such as Elle Man, Esquire, L’Officiel Homme, Amazing Magazine, as well as within the pages of Vogue, GQ, Flaunt, and Paper Magazine.

She is often sought out by beauty editors for her expertise, and has been quoted in publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, rē•spin by Halle Berry, and The Zoe Report. 

Mentored by renowned stylists Vivienne Mackinder, Angelo Seminara, and Martin-Christopher Harper, Avian has gotten the opportunity to travel the globe to share the art and craft of hairdressing on stages, in classrooms, in salons, and assisting to create art for hair showcases and events worldwide.

Returning to the Seattle area for a more balanced life, Avian enjoys taking clients behind the chair, and following her passion for wellness as an integrative health coach, yoga teacher, and reiki master.

Miranda

Hair Stylist | Educator

I started doing hair in 2015, went to Gene Juarez Academy. Hair has always been a passion of mine. Making the world a more beautiful place, one head at a time. I enjoy all services, but blonding, cutting, and styling are my specialties. I do wedding hair in Chelan all summer long. Love the lake life! I am also the Team Educator for styling and updo. I’m originally from Montana, lived in WA for 8 years now. I love cooking, wine, travel, fashion, music, comedy, movies, dancing, roller blading. On my days off you can find me at a concert or volunteering at the winery.

Nikki

Hair Stylist

Hello I’m Nikki. I’m originally from Vancouver, WA but moved to the Greater Seattle area after graduating from Western Washington University. After 4 years in the corporate world I decided to take a leap of faith and switch industries. I fell in love with creating beautiful hair and realized that this was just the creative outlet I was looking for. I have a deep desire to give my clients what they are looking for so that they not only look beautiful, but also feel beautiful!

I graduated from Gene Juarez Academy with honors in Summer of 2021 and became part of the Joe Bae Salon family later that year. As one of the newer stylist, I find myself continuing to fuel my drive to become the best stylist I can be through education by attending industry focused classes and events.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge with my clients to help them feel more confident about caring for their hair. Cutting, coloring, blonding - they all have a place in my heart but if you really have to know what my favorite service is, I’d have to say hand painted natural balayages.

When I’m not behind the chair, I can almost always be found with my mini dachshund, Oliver - taking dance classes or binge watching some Kdrama!
