Nickie Collinsworth
Master Stylist
I have experience in customizing color and cuts since 2006. My happy place is wowing my guests with highlights, balayage and dimensional colors. No boring hair in my chair! I adore Aveda and it's products because they focus on true health and wellness along with being plant-derived and their commitment to cruelty-free practices. I'm proud to have achieved first place in Better than the Best for the second consecutive year in Ocala Magazine and I'm thankful to be honorably mentioned as a popular stylist for the third year.
Rachel Bassett
Senior Stylist
With nearly a decade of experience in color and cuts, I am excited to join the Face the Day team. I love highlights and balayage, I enjoy men's and women's cuts and layering. One of the things I like about Aveda products are how clean and natural they are. If you're looking for a stylist, I would love to give you a consult and help you bring your hair dreams to life!
Reagan Garcia
Senior Stylist
Hi! I completed my education at Aveda in 2018, and my heart lies in catering to blondes! I specialize in lived-in balayage is where my passion truly shines.
Choosing the Aveda School was an easy decision as their commitment to being the most natural and welcoming shone through during my school tours. Their strong belief in their mission and unwavering support for their product line sealed the deal.
I was a proud recipient of the Day Makers Award upon graduation, gifted by my entire school, educators, and providers. This recognition stemmed from being the happiest and infusing positive energy into the school environment.
Sydney Dahl
Senior Stylist
Commenced my educational journey in 2013 at Salon Professional Academy in the Villages, and in 2018, I elevated my career at Tenaj by immersing myself in extensive courses covering color theory, formulation, precision cutting, and specialized techniques.
Aveda holds a special place in my heart due to its use of earthly components that contribute to the overall well-being of our bodies.
My passion lies in transforming hair shades from blondes to brunettes and creating natural styles. A special affection goes out to my curly-haired clients! Nothing brings me more joy than assisting everyone in finding delight in the reflection they see in the mirror.
Olivia Fuetues
Massage Therapist
I completed my studies at MTC in Ocala in December 2015. I find great satisfaction in helping people relax and improve their well-being through therapeutic massage, addressing specific issues in their bodies. Aveda holds a special place in my heart due to its use of plant-based ingredients. The Face the Day family is something I truly cherish and love.
Kaitlin Ballard
Stylist
I have been immersed in the art of hairstyling since 2022. Aveda has captured my heart, particularly their BTR treatment, renowned for imparting a delightful softness and brilliant shine following each appointment. It works wonders in restoring hair health after color services, although it doesn't boast as much protein content as Olaplex.
Among the array of services I offer, I find immense joy in crafting precision haircuts and executing flawless color retouches. Root-to-end color applications are also a personal favorite, allowing me to showcase my expertise in creating stunning and cohesive hair transformations.
Nadine Ayala
Stylist
Bringing over four decades of styling experience, I embarked on my career in '82. Although my passion spans all facets of hair care, if I were to commit to one aspect indefinitely, it would undoubtedly be cutting and shaping.
Aveda resonates with me for its commitment to natural components, and I firmly believe in Aveda's formulations catering to all hair types. The brand's commitment to being earth-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free aligns with my values.
Thrilled to commence a new chapter in my journey at Face the Day!
Gloria Oiobo
Stylist
In 2023, I graduated from MTC, achieving success in the "Everything But Hair" contest by creating a unique style on a mannequin and earning recognition for the best attendance. My passion lies in styling and coloring hair.
Meranda Phyphers
Esthetician
I graduated in 2018 from the American Institute of Beauty. I have a deep appreciation for Aveda because of their commitment to natural and clean products, particularly beneficial for sensitive skin. Facials are my favorite service, and my goal is to ensure my guests experience maximum relaxation. I want people to leave my table feeling like they have to come back to me, striving to make them feel like they've received the best facial of their lives.
Alex Sower
Massage Therapist
I completed my education at the Florida School of Massage in 2014. My passion lies in neuromuscular therapy and utilizing natural approaches to healing, which is why I am drawn to the Aveda line. Working with veterans and assisting in managing PTSD through massage is something I find particularly fulfilling. Beyond my massage practice, I am deeply involved in golf, having played semi-professionally and taught the sport. This experience allows me to better understand the intricacies of the athlete's body.
