Jolie
Master Design Artist
Jolie
I began my journey in Turkey, where I owned my own hair salon and cherished my close-knit clientele. I earned my first cosmetology license there and poured my heart into my work. When I moved to America, I faced the challenge of returning to school to obtain a new license, as my Turkish credentials were not transferable. This experience reignited my passion for the creative side of cosmetology, and I’ve continued to hold my clients just as dear as I did in my shop back home. For nearly 15 years, I’ve worked in a charming little shop in Midtown Manhattan, owned by a close friend. Even now, I work there on Sundays, purely for the joy of practicing what I love in one of America’s most iconic cities.

Since the age of 18, I’ve been deeply immersed in the beauty industry. My journey began at Long Island Beauty School, where I earned my Cosmetology license in 2014.

My passion lies in enhancing the beauty and confidence of every individual who sits in my chair. I firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of excellence, and I’m committed to continuous learning. Throughout my career, I’ve pursued advanced training at the prestigious Aveda Institute in New York City, where I honed my skills in all-over color, hair-cutting techniques, and styling.
As both a cosmetologist and esthetician, my ultimate goal is to keep growing and evolving in my craft. With unwavering support from my clients and co-workers, I’m fortunate to see my dreams becoming a reality.

Hi. I’m Alessia, a Senior Stylist and Makeup Artist at Maia. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to pursue something creative. While I love singing, I wasn’t going to be the next pop sensation. I quickly realized my true passion was using my creativity to help people feel beautiful through hair and makeup.

At Maia, I love working alongside talented Master Stylists and continually learning new techniques. My job also gives me the opportunity to connect with amazing people and hear their stories.
My ultimate dream is to start a non-profit for adults and children with special needs and disabilities, creating a safe and comfortable environment for them to enjoy beauty services.
I am certified in Babe hair extension installation and the Pura Luxe hair smoothing treatment. I I’d love to meet you at Maia, style your hair, and hear your story!

“My career began right out of beauty school as an assistant stylist at T.Carlton’s Spalon 19 years ago. This is where I apprenticed with some of the Master Stylists I am fortunate work with now, and when I decided to focus my attention on the specialty of Hair Cutting and Styling and Formal Styling. My enthusiasm lead me to quickly (within 2 years) achieve the Master Stylist Position.
My commitment and understanding of the industry has afforded me the opportunity to attend intense technical training as well as Hands-ON Cutting Classes from the industries finest educators including: Michael O’Rourke, Sexy Hair Concepts, Anthony Edge, Label M, Framesi Italian Style Cutting Program (men’s and women’s techniques including Mastering the Pallet color theory and formulation). I have been fortunate to further my education at corporate training centers such as Bumble and Bumble, Ouidad, De Pasquale Artistic Academy and more.
From a Men’s Hair Cut to long thick curly hair, a sweet pixie, asymmetrical bob, or just some fresh new layers I’d love to give you the style you’ve dreamed of that suits your personality sure you look and feel fabulous!”

Master Design Artist

If you know me, there is one thing that you will know for sure and that is this industry has never been work for me, it has always been my passion.
When I was only 4 years old, I taught myself how to braid hair on my cabbage patch doll, and it snowballed from there!
In high school, I was always the go-to girl for styling my friends’ hair and doing their makeup. I got the chance to hone my skills on an academic level while attending Eastern Suffolk Boces. At school I found my creative energy had no limits. Learning the science behind what I was doing was always one of my favorite parts of school. Executing our talents is a gift, but knowing why and how we can do what we do is amazing. After graduating and obtaining my cosmetology license, the fun really started.
I am fortunate enough to continue taking advanced classes, build my technique, and maintain the art of my craft. This has allowed me to quickly build clientele here at Maia.
I always listen to my clients in order to help them achieve their hair goals. I love to see the happiness radiating from them as they leave my chair. To be able to be a part of their lives for a short amount of time but make a lasting impact on their appearance makes me happy.
As a Master Design Artist, I am confident in all aspects of men’s and women’s cuts, color, blonding, dimensional color techniques, and formal hairstyling. New to my resume is using our non-toxic straightening and smoothing systems that can help you achieve silky smooth, frizz-free hair in a fraction of the time. Lately, the hand-tied weft extension service has been all the rage, and I am thrilled to be able to add this service to my repertoire and offer my clients length, volume, or color for a whole new look or just a pop of something extra.
When I am not doing hair, I am with my family enjoying their company and making memories.
I’m so excited to meet you at your next visit and I can’t wait to work with you, your family, and your friends for years to come!
Debbie
Master Design Artist
Debbie
I started my career in cosmetology because I love making people feel good about themselves. I have never felt that this was a job, it has always been my passion. Every day is like my first day!
I have been fortunate to work in high-end salons, always furthering my education. I even had the advantage to meet Paul Mitchel and Jeanie Bra, when they first introduced Paul Mitchel’s first five original products! My dedication to continued education evolved from that point on and I’ve been attending Master Stylist Classes from Paul Mitchel, L’Oreal, Framesi, Redken, and many more during my 30-year career.
Specializing in cutting hair for both men and women, I’ll create a look that will suit your facial structure and lifestyle. I love that perms are making a comeback and “THE BOY PERM” is just terrific. If you are looking for a way to manage curls, frizz or completely straighten your hair, I have been certified in the all-new QiQi Global Hair Control treatment line. QiQi is free of harsh chemicals and safe for use on all hair types.
My clients get my complete and undivided attention, and I want them to feel special when they leave my chair. This career has always been very good to me. My love for the art and people has filled a wonderful place in my life, and it is truly my privilege to be your stylist!
A wise man once said, “If you do the thing you love you will never work a day in your life, you will be rewarded for having fun.”

Hello! My name is Jeanmarie, but my friends call me “G.” I’ve been a hairstylist for over 30 years, and I truly feel it’s my calling. Ever since I was a child, I knew I wanted to be a stylist. While I briefly considered a career in journalism, my creative passion ultimately won out. That said, I still nurture my love for writing, focusing on poetry and short stories.
I earned my degree at Long Island Beauty School in Hauppauge and have had the privilege of studying under renowned stylists like Trevor Sorbie, Irvine Rusk, Ruth Roche, Mary Brunetti, and Goldwell’s Dimitrios Tsioumas. Over the years, I’ve won several awards for creativity and originality and am proud to be a certified Master Colorist with Goldwell.
The creative aspect of hairstyling is my favorite part of the job. I see hair as my canvas, and I love the artistry involved. I also enjoy working with newer stylists, learning from them, and serving as a mentor. My goal is to ensure every client leaves my chair feeling happy and confident.
I invite you to make an appointment with me for a precision cut, a new color, highlights—or all three! I look forward to meeting you at Maia soon.
