MEET CARLI
A little
about me.
23 YEARS BEHIND THE CHAIR
Thirteen years at Frank Gironda. Ten years at Marek Ashley. A whole lot of hair, color, laughs, learning, and beautiful people along the way.
I started my career at Frank Gironda, where I spent 13 years finding my voice as a stylist and building the foundation for everything I do today. Early in my career, I packed my bags for New York City to become Redken certified — one of many experiences that pushed me creatively and helped shape the stylist I would become.
My next chapter took me to Marek Ashley, where I spent 10 incredible years expanding my craft, learning a new color line with Wella, and building relationships I’ll always treasure.
And now… here we go. Welcome to CARLISPECIAL Suite Dos.
Creating my own space gives me the chance to bring together everything I love about being behind the chair: creativity, connection, great conversation, and an environment where you can settle in and feel completely comfortable.
For me, doing hair has never felt like just a job. Being behind the chair is my happy place. I like to think of it as art class every day — except my canvas has hair.
MORE ABOUT CARLI +
I’m happiest when the creative juices are flowing — whether we’re creating dimensional color, trying something completely new, or having one of those conversations where you suddenly realize the appointment flew by.
When I’m not at the salon, you’ll usually find me with my family, hanging out with my two Pit Bulls, or being completely ignored by my Persian cat — because we all know who really runs the house. I also love to travel, especially when there’s a beach involved. Give me sunshine, water, and sand, and I’m happy.
I wouldn’t be here without the incredible mentors and colleagues who have taught me, challenged me, encouraged me, and cheered me on throughout my career. I’m especially grateful for my Marek Ashley family and all the memories and friendships we’ve made along the way.
And to my clients — you are such a huge part of this story. Thank you for trusting me with your hair, sharing pieces of your lives with me, laughing with me, and continuing to come along for the ride.
Here’s to a new space, new memories, plenty of creativity, and — of course — lots of great hair.
