Mercedes Velasquez is an artist … and hair is her canvas. She’s an extremely goal-oriented person who is driven to always keep learning about her craft, believing there is always something new to absorb from the talented people around her. She’s creative, warm-hearted and very kind to everyone she meets. When she’s not in the salon helping clients achieve their look, Mercedes is out trying new restaurants, adventuring, watching movies or spending time with her family.
“My passion is all about setting goals, furthering my knowledge and becoming the best version of myself I possibly can.”
To Jocy, the best part about her job is being able to do what she loves and make people feel happy and amazing. She started styling her friends and families hair at the age of eleven, which lead to her passion and love for this career. She especially loves to cut hair and do up styles but will happily work on everything! She is passionate about growing within the industry.
“To me, fashion is an art that not only involves clothes but using hair and makeup to complete a look and express the meaning or outcome it wants to give.”
