I'm passionate about fostering a team of talented individuals who aren't afraid to push boundaries. Together, we can create beauty that inspires.

Gina

Hair Stylist · $100/hr

Hello. I appreciate dark comedy, straightforward trash talk, honesty and humor, for these are all things that I supply - as well as cuts and colors so good you’ll high-five yourself in the face. Besides an approximate knowledge of everything (except for Microsoft office), I can do a mean vivid color- especially for 3 raccoons in a trenchcoat and a sharp pair of jorts. Speak your secrets directly into the mouth of my hair dryer. She will keep them for you.

Dillon

Hair Stylist · $80/hr

Megan (Dillon) has been a licensed cosmetologist and has worked at Eden Michele Salon since July 2022. Since moving to Gainesville from their hometown in Georgia, they have discovered a newfound love for this city, despite the heat and the occasional nightmare of driving here. In their free time, you can find them involved in the local community theatre scene, whether it’s for their hair and makeup skills backstage or onstage as an actor. They best describe appointments with them as a relaxing and gentle experience, choosing the comfort and relaxation part of an appointment over the chit-chat experience. They aren’t the most social butterfly in the group; instead, they are more of a tiny spider who sits in the corner, observes things, and occasionally makes themselves known. Some of their simple pleasures in life are going to Bucee’s and spending an obscene amount of money, snuggling up with the zoo of eight pets they have at home, and Crocs. If you ever want to make them talk, ask them about their insane Croc collection, and you are sure to be in for quite a conversation.

Asha

Hair Stylist · $60/hr

Hi, I’m Asha! I’m a licensed cosmetologist with a passion for transforming hair and embracing diversity. As a multicultural stylist, I embrace all hair textures and styles. In my spare time, you can find me at the farmers market, an apothecary, or maybe doing something crafty. Hair coloring and blonding are my jam. I love creating vibrant, beautiful looks.

Autumn

Hair Stylist · $55/hr

Hair has always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been passionate about creating and experimenting with hair for as long as I can remember. After completing my cosmetology training in 2024, I turned that lifelong passion into a career focused on helping people express themselves through their hair.

I specialize in haircuts, color, vivid fashion shades, and alternative styles. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh, a bold transformation, or something completely unique, I love working with clients to create looks that feel authentic to who they are. As someone who embraces creativity and individuality, I believe hair is one of the best ways to show the world your personality.

My chair is a laid-back, judgment-free space where you can relax, be yourself, and leave feeling confident. I love connecting with people from all walks of life and helping them bring their vision to life.

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll probably find me exploring Universal, rewatching Harry Potter, spending time in nature, stargazing, or admiring all kinds of creatures, from the tiniest insects to the biggest animals. I find inspiration in the magic of the world around us, and I bring that same sense of creativity and wonder into my work every day.

I can’t wait to meet you and help create a look you’ll love! ✨💜
