My name is Paulina Marie, and I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 1994. My journey in the beauty industry began with my graduation from James Albert Academy in Costa Mesa, California. The academy provided me with a solid foundation and the privilege of working with high-end products that allowed me to hone my skills effectively.

After completing my training, I joined the team at the James Albert Saloon in Newport Beach, where I was able to apply my newly acquired knowledge and techniques in a professional setting. This experience was invaluable as I interacted with a diverse clientele and learned a great deal about customer service and the importance of listening to clients’ needs.

With a passion for continuous learning, I traveled to England to explore new techniques in hairstyling and coloring. This trip opened my eyes to different styles and approaches, which I eagerly brought back to my practice. Following my travels, I furthered my education at Toni and Guy Academy and completed training at Behind the Chair University. The knowledge I gained from these experiences has enriched my skill set and inspired my creative approach to hair design.

I specialize in various coloring techniques and love cutting hair to create personalized looks that resonate with my clients. What brings me the greatest joy is seeing the happiness on my clients’ faces when they leave the salon. I believe that hair is not just about aesthetics; it is about enhancing confidence and making a statement.

My ultimate goal as a cosmetologist is to create an experience that not only transforms my clients’ looks but also elevates their spirits. When clients return for more, I know I have succeeded in my mission.
