One Colorful Beginning.
Meet Andrea Suarez, Gilded Founding Stylist
Of all the ways she can turn hair dreams into reality, Andrea’s first love was the art of creating perfectly lived-in color.
Ever since, her devotion has only grown. Following her training with Aveda in New York City, Andrea headed west to dive even deeper into color with Nine Zero One salon in California. She also studied with two master colorists, Tracey Cunningham and Johnny Ramirez.
Andrea has previously lived and worked in New York City and Nashville as both a color and extensions specialist. Andrea is IBE® (Invisible Bead Extensions) and NBR™ (Natural Beaded Rows) certified and continues studying other hand tied extension methods so she can always recommend what’s best for each individual guest.
Color first sparked Andrea’s interest in extensions. Added dimension, seamless blending — when it comes to natural-looking extensions, color is the difference maker. But the real magic, the true beauty, shows up as confidence. The first time a guest’s new hair is revealed, the look in their eyes outshines everything else. Andrea’s desire to continue playing a role in these transformations has led her to focus her own growth and continuing education on hand tied extensions. And color, naturally. Because some things should never change.
Always a Floridian at heart (and by birth), Andrea now owns Gilded, an intimate studio focused on dimensional color and extensions in the heart of Tampa, FL.
MEET Victoria Fernandez, Emerging Stylist
Growing up in the Tampa Bay area, Victoria watched her mother style her grandmother’s hair again and again. Their collective beauty and the care that was shown left a lasting impression on Victoria.
Years later, Victoria found herself enrolled in college but soon pivoted to follow her true calling: Creating for others with hair as her focus.
Today Victoria loves taking care of people. Making them feel at-ease and at their most beautiful. She begins each day with a grateful heart, always open to learning new ways of giving guests the look or style they’ve imagined, but might’ve never thought possible.
By joining Andrea and Gilded right here in the place Victoria has always called home, she’s found the perfect opportunity to do more of what she loves. Our timing in looking to grow, and hers, could not have been more perfect.
