Meet the AvantGirls

Diane
Stylist
Hi my name is Diane. I am from Ohio and have been in a Cosmetologist for over 30 years . I love interacting with people and getting to know my clients one on one and enjoy making them look and feel great. I followed my “hair” passion straight out of high school and ran into the beauty industry. When my hands are not in hair, my second passion is health and fitness. I am a gym instructor at the Atlantic Care life center and I enjoy teaching others about health and fitness. My motto, when you look good you feel good, and when you combine hard work with both it’s truly amazing

Dara
Stylist - Makeup Artist
I have always had a love for all things beauty. I found this to be my true passion as I always doing my friends hair and makeup before school dances and stuck on YouTube watching tutorials daily. When I graduated high school in 2018, I started cosmetology school a month later. While finishing my last couple months at school I found my home at AvantGirl, I have been assisting for two years now. I'm always eager to learn and ready to help. I look forward to furthering my career and becoming a junior stylist! While not in the salon I enjoy spending time with my adorable pup Diesel and having fun with friends
