Born and raised in Albuquerque, NM, Ariel comes from a whole family of hairstylists. Inspired by watching her aunt and cousins doing hair growing up, Ariel decided she wanted to follow in their footsteps.

Ariel has been licensed in NM since 2017 and spent a year in mentorship assisting Moxi Hair Studio’s owner, Shannon.

Not only does Ariel have a fresh artistic and creative talent, but she really takes the time to listen to her clients’ needs and ideas. What she loves is to make people feel good about themselves whether that be giving them a new cut, fresh color, a relaxing scalp massage in the shampoo bowl, or giving them a glam look for the night. “The most important thing to me is being able to see my client happy and smiling when leaving the salon. It’s the best feeling in the world.”
