Carmela
Known affectionately by some of her clients as their “fairy hair mother,” Carmela brings a playful, imaginative spirit to every appointment. With seven years of experience, she blends creativity with care, focusing on natural texture, soft shapes, and styles that feel as effortless as they are expressive. Her goal is always to get as close as possible to a client’s dream look while making sure it works with their real, day-to-day hair. One of her proudest moments was guiding a client through a years-long color journey, from wedding-day blondes to bold fashion tones to a natural shade during pregnancy. Clients describe her work as whimsical and detail-oriented. Outside the salon, she loves baking, crocheting, sewing, and tending to her plants with her cats and favorite music close by!

Understanding Our Stylist Levels
Our stylist level system reflects the care, intention, and artistry we bring to every guest experience. Every stylist on our team is a licensed professional, and each level represents a combination of education, hands-on skill, and advanced training.
- Our Phresh Talent stylists (0.1 to 0.3) are artists who are newest to the industry, licensed professionals beginning to shape their craft and deepen their technical foundation.
- Stylists progress through Levels 1.0 to 7.3, supported by a flexible development approach through Vitality Academy for Salon Arts that adapts to each stylist’s strengths, goals, and pace.
- Each level represents refinement through advanced education, specialty training, and the real-world experience gained behind the chair.
Our approach to both education and services is collaborative. Lower-level stylists regularly shadow, consult with, and learn from our senior artists, who bring years of refined expertise to the space. This shared approach means every guest benefits from the collective wisdom of the entire team, not just the stylist they book with, and every lower-level stylist benefits from support and education from experienced team members.
No matter the level, you can expect the same high-standard Phia Concept experience.
