Julie’s passion for hairstyling started at a young age, when she enjoyed experimenting with her own hair and styling her friends’ locks. What began as a fun hobby quickly turned into a deeper love for the craft, and she knew then that she wanted to pursue a career in helping others feel confident and empowered through their appearance. Now, as an assistant at the salon, Julie is excited to grow her skills and continue learning from the talented team around her.
One of the things Julie loves most about Aveda is the brand’s calming and earthy atmosphere, which creates a truly relaxing experience for both clients and stylists. She appreciates Aveda’s commitment to natural ingredients and sustainability, which aligns with her own values of using products that are both effective and environmentally conscious.
Julie is especially drawn to the world of color. As she continues to grow in her role, she’s excited to dive deeper into the science of color and learn new techniques. She’s fascinated by how a simple color transformation can completely change a client’s look, and she looks forward to the opportunity to create beautiful, dynamic hair as she builds her skills in the industry.
Outside of the salon, Julie has a deep appreciation for the outdoors. She loves spending her time at the beach and hiking, two of her favorite activities. Originally from Ohio, Julie moved to Jacksonville in September 2024, and she’s been embracing the area’s beautiful landscapes and outdoor lifestyle ever since. With an outgoing personality, Julie thrives in social environments and enjoys making the most of every moment, whether she’s exploring new places or connecting with others.
