I started out in my home country in Turkey, I owned my own hair salon and kept my clients dear and close. I went to school there and first got my cosmetology license there; however when I came here I had to go back to school for my license since I could not use my Turkish license here. I rekindled my love for the creativity that comes as a cosmetologist but I still keep my clients as dear and close to me as I did in my own shop in Turkey. I’ve also done work in Midtown Manhattan for close to 15 years now in a little shop owned by a close friend of mine. I still work there on Sundays just for the joy of being able to do what I love in one of the best known cities in America.

Delighted to offer state of the art laser hair removal with the LIGHTSHEER Lumenis Laser. See Medi Spa page for special offers

I started my career in cosmetology because I like to make people feel good about themselves. I have never felt that this was a job, it has always been my passion. Everyday is like my first day. I have been fortunate enough to work in high-end salons that always furthered my education, including one salon that I had the advantage to meet Paul Mitchel and Jeanie Bra. When they first introduced Paul Mitchel’s first fine original products. My dedication continued from there with classes such as Paul Mitchel, L’Oreal, Framesi (hair cutting), and Redken. My specialty is hair cutting and styling. I give my clients my complete and undivided attention, I want my clients to feel special when they leave my chair. This career has always been very good to me.

My name Afia, 10 years ago, I came to This country from Pakistan, where I first studied the art of skin and hair care. From stylish haircuts, styles, and color to create the perfect face-framing eyebrows by threading or waxing my love of the industry kept growing. As soon as I arrived in the United States, I immediately researched schools so I could obtain my NYS License and continue to my passion. I found the Long Island beauty school and graduated in 2013. While working in the field learned keratin treatment, highlights, ombré, balayage, from there t I took classes for an eyelash lift and tint as well as Professional makeup classes in NYC given by M.A.C company, In 2019 I opened my own salon, excited when I start work as an owner feel so proud, that finally, I can produce the looks and style that my clients want while being self-employed. However, sadly In 2020, the Covid-19 situation it’s badly hurt my business, it was difficult to get employees to work, and the clientele was not the same anymore, the business was not sustainable. I made the most difficult decision to close my store. While talking to one of my good friends he suggested a salon he knew of, and he told me about Maia salon and spa. I am thrilled to say that I began working with them soon after that and So delighted to be a part of the Maia salon family, and to learn all the all people there are so very nice and helpful I’m glad, that I’m part of that family! I can’t wait to meet you and make your hair dreams come true !!

My passion and goal as a hairstylist is to provide my clients with the best style and color as possible. Being in the industry for 5+ years has allowed me to have the knowledge and understanding of different haircuts and colors to best suit each individual. I will never stop learning and look forward to upcoming classes and learning among different stylists to learn their perspectives. It brings me much joy when my clients are confident and happy after being in my chair. I have a broad spectrum of Hair styling from modern styles to pixie cuts. Some classes I have had the pleasure of attending would be from educators such as Ashlee Norman, Goldwell Color, Redken Exchange, Wella Color Master and Behind the Chair. In addition I was one of the few stylists to learn a brand new permanent straightening system called QiQi. Being able to cater this service to my clients has been an advantage because unlike a keratin treatment, it offers more flexibility and lifestyle options without releasing any chemical fumes. It is the next generation smoothing and straightening services, and has completely advanced the way I can style frizzy hair. I look forward to meeting you!

My name is Nicolette and I am a licensed esthetician. I’ve always been interested in the beauty industry and started off as a self-taught makeup artist, before venturing into the skin care world, while attending Long Island Hair, Skin and Nails. I was lucky to have an amazing group of teachers, who helped guide me toward finding my passion. I fell in love with all things skin care, and the feeling of helping someone feel beautiful in their own skin was priceless.

I continued to learn past introductory esthetics and became interested in oncology esthetics. I started volunteering at MAIA Salon while still in school, for a program called Mondays at Racine. Mondays at Racine is a nonprofit organization, which provides complimentary services for cancer patients currently going through treatment. This program touches me deeply, as it hits close to home. I’m blessed and humbled to be a part of this program.

After graduating, I was immediately welcomed to be a part of the MAIA Salon family, as an esthetician. Working here has only built my knowledge and expanded my horizons and I am grateful for the opportunity to do so. I’ve built a close relationship with every person who walks into the spa and enjoy meeting new faces every day!

I custom each facial towards my client, to ensure the most enjoyable and relaxing experience. I work on all and every skin type. My services also include microdermabrasion, high frequency treatments, enzyme peels and so much more. I am available Tuesday/Friday through Sunday. I look forward to meeting you!
