<div style="text-align: justify;">Keirstanne started her adult career as a preschool teacher. She has always been interested in the salon industry, and chose to apply to Pyara for a receptionist position. Jumping into it, she was in a whirlwind of excitement, and was eager to learn everything about this industry. She completely changed her career and continued to do what she could to grow with Pyara. She has taken classes, such as strategies and benchmarking to get her ready for a supervisor role. She loves being able to help the guests as well as the staff, making their day easier in whichever way she can. Working with kids before the beauty industry has given her the patience to handle situations calmly, and truly listen to, and hear people!https://www.instagram.com/coffman_makeup<div> </div></div>

Chaude Johnson

Master Stylist

Education: Aveda Certified Color Educator - Master Stylist. I joined the industry back in 2004, graduating from Blaine School of Cosmetology and continued with an intensive Aveda program at Linear Salon and Spa. Over the years I've completed at least four advanced courses each year and have attended Aveda's Congress and Master Jam along with NAHA to learn the latest trends in the industry. Inspiration: Some of the most recent classes that inspired me have been Geno Chapman with his amazing cutting skills, Hair Color Magic with Lupe Voss, Be Curly cut and color with Ricardo Dinis and Ian Michael Black. Along with continuously taking classes to expand my knowledge, I am a Certified Color Educator for Aveda trying to inspire those fresh to the industry as well as those who have been dressing hair since I was in diapers. I have a strong passion for helping others learn and grow. It is my responsibility as a stylist and educator to not only educate fellow stylists, but also my guests. Inspire greatness. Growing up I watched my mom get dolled up for work every day and loved the idea of playing dress up. As I got older, I was the one who always wanted to style everyone's hair for school dances and play with box color any chance I got (it was the 90's so big brassy hair was the look). Working at an Aveda Concept salon during college I knew I had to truly give it a shot and if it didn't work out, I could always finish my degree. I have yet to look back.

Nikki Ruby

Master Hair Stylist & Aveda Certified Color Educator

Education: I went to the Art Institute of Boston to focus on painting and ceramics for my BFA. After that, I went to Blaine for my cosmetology license and I began working at Pyara when we first opened our Cambridge location in 2004. After we opened our Burlington location, I moved to this location. Throughout my time at Pyara, I have taken as many Aveda classes as I could: classes related to men's and women's styles, cuts and trends, Aveda hair color line, corrective color, reds and blondes, perms and relaxers, keratin straighteners, and up-dos to name a few. In my time at Pyara, I became very interested in educating other stylists. I taught classes related to perms and relaxers, and up-do's, while being a mentor to new stylists as they develop their craft. When I had my 1st child, I decided that I loved teaching, so I took an extended maternity leave so that I could go to Lesley University for my M. Ed in visual arts. Inspiration: As an artist, I'm interested in the colors, shapes, movement, composition, and space, and how those elements facilitate a reaction in viewers. These elements translate to my interests as a hairstylist. I think about my guests' style as an extension of my art with a different medium. As a stylist, I'm interested in providing a great experience for my guests. I love creating beautiful hair colors, accentuating individual's natural beauty, and developing realistic style possibilities for each person. I'm inspired by art, nature, sounds, and life as I meet my goals.

wonderful, ever changing world of dermatology at the Aveda Frederic’s Institute
of Indianapolis, obtaining her advanced esthetics license. Born and raised in
Indiana, Bailey made the adventurous jump to MA over one year ago to accompany
her boyfriend while he attends Harvard Business School. Since then she has
worked at Pyara gaining abundant knowledge of the esthetics industry and
furthering her license since attending Aveda. The Esthetics world begins and
ends with the skin. Aveda gave her the opportunity to give her clients the
"full body experience". This means when you come in for Baileys
facials, and other de-stressing services, you will experience the advanced
therapies of esthiology through chakras and aromas from head to toe, along with
certified organic and naturally derived ingredients. Becoming a skin specialist
has enlightened Bailey of the importance of taking the time to center the mind
and body by falling into a state of complete oblivion whilst cleansing the skin
of impurities.<o:p></o:p>

Massage Therapist

Randy Sue
attended Polarity Realization Institute, which is now SpaTech, in Ipswich, MA.
She has been practicing since 1999, and she specializes in integrative massage.
She loves that integrative massage is based on the idea that not just one
massage is right for every situation. She uses every tool she must best serve
you, including; Swedish massage, deep tissue, trigger point work, reflexology,
and polarity. Polarity is energy work which utilizes the same energetic anatomy
as Reiki, but is hands on. This allows her to add another dimension to the
mind-body connection, and to bring her guests a richer massage experience. She
loves her work, and making people feel better with her touch. <o:p></o:p>
