🎊🎂🥳 Happy Birthday Andrea! 🥳🎂🎊

Andrea was born and raised in Seattle proper. She is bilingual in English and Spanish, growing up around a very diverse family. She traveled to London with Gary Manuel Aveda Institute and took classes at the UK Academy, as well as being part of editorial and participating in hair and fashion shows outside of regular curriculum. As a little girl, Andrea loved going to the salon with her mother, who was a full time college student, and says “it always felt magical”. Even then, hairstylists looked like rock stars and she would play barbie dolls for hours as an only child. Andrea is particularly passionate about thick texture and fashion colors. She loves a “hair project” that makes someone look completely different, or better yet, bringing something to life they had all along.

✨💫 Happy Holidays to everyone from all of us at Maru Salon. Wishing you joy, love and peace. 💫✨

✂️ Short hair is one of my specialties. ✂️
From bold pixies to chic bobs and modern, stylish short cuts, I focus on creating looks that are effortless, flattering and tailored to you. Precision, texture, and movement matter, because short hair should feel just as versatile and confident as you are. If you’re ready for a fresh, refined cut that makes a statement, short hair is where the magic happens.
