Maria Hernandez
Associate
Maria describes herself as kind, creative, and organized — qualities that shine through in both her work and the way she serves her guests. Born and raised in Mexico and Louisiana, Maria first discovered her passion for cosmetology when she began doing hair and makeup for her family during special events. Seeing their confidence and happiness lit a spark in her, and she knew she wanted to dedicate her career to helping others feel beautiful too.
Outside of the salon, Maria loves doing her own makeup, shopping, and enjoying walks. But her greatest joy comes from her work: “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing someone’s face light up after a service. Helping people feel confident and beautiful brings me so much joy.”
Maria’s career dream is to become a well-known hairstylist recognized for the quality of her work, with hopes of one day opening her own salon where she can continue doing what she loves most. She carries that vision into every guest experience. One of her favorite memories was helping a client who was nervous about getting a new haircut — when they saw the result, they told Maria it was the best they had ever felt about themselves. “It was such a powerful reminder of why I love what I do,” she says.
Maria has already been recognized for her excellence, including receiving a 5-star pin in Aveda and participating in the Aveda Halloween War. She continues to grow in her craft, always learning and striving to execute with excellence.

Air has an open-door policy. We love to hear feedback and suggestions from our clients!
As always, my experience was truly relaxing, not to mention how pleased I am with my hair. Carrie is the best!
Oh my goodness! My shampoo massage was amazing! I’ve never had someone understand what I’m looking for and how to achieve it and explain it in such a way that I could really grasp and use the techniques for myself at home! This is the best haircut experience I believe I have ever had! I will definitely be coming back sooner than usual! And I’m looking forward to having a wonderful experience from here on out! I love my hairstyle and cut! Even more, I love my new hairstylist! Thanks
Beautiful setting, lovely people, great colorists.
