Bailey Pearce

Salon Advisor

I joined Avenue in May 2018, my first job, and what a wonderful place to start. Not only do I work with amazing, empowering women, but they teach me so many things, they are truly a family . I have a place to express myself while showing others they can too. I am currently attending state college of Florida to complete my Bachelor’s degree in international business. Working with people has always been something I enjoy, I especially like being a salon advisor at Avenue because I see amazing transformations and I see more than the pictures that get posted, I get to see the genuine reactions when people see their new hair, and it is amazing.

Gina

Associate Stylist

Gina began her career in the Salon and Spa industry in 1996, interning at a small hair salon in Annapolis Maryland. Her dream was to become a Dual licensed Massage Therapist and Cosmetologist. After graduating The basic Massage Program at Anne Arundel Community College, and the full program at Baltimore School of Massage Therapy in 2000, she went on as an LMT to work for the largest DaySpa and Salon on the East Coast. During her years working for Robert Andrew The Salon and Spa, she found herself desperately wanting to go back to school for Cosmetology. She had been doing friends and families hair for weddings, proms and homecomings for years, and every stylist friend she had told her she needed to change careers and do what she loved to do most. After leaving the Salon industry and running her own Massage Therapy practice in Maryland for over 5 years, she decided to make the big move to Florida, so she could finally afford the tuition needed for Cosmetology school. The dream she had growing up to become a Licensed Cosmetologist was something she wouldn’t let herself give up on, and in 2018 she graduated from Charlotte Technical College and became a Licensed Cosmetologist. Avenue Hair Design now has another passionate stylist on their team, and her primary goal is to make your hair dreams turn into a reality!
