Ari Barajas-Mier
Junior 3 stylist

Hi, I'm Ari!
​
From a young age, I knew I wanted to be a hairstylist. My passion led me to Kirkland Beauty School during my senior year of high school, and since graduating in 2004, I've been drawn to the beauty industry time and again. Being a hairstylist allows me to combine my love of fashion, beauty, art, and the joy of making others feel great about themselves-it's truly my calling.
​
I specialize in precision hair cutting and enjoy creating all styles, from long, flowing layers to edgy pixies, for both men and women. I'm committed to staying current on trends and continuing my education, as it's important to me to deliver the best for my clients. My goal is to deepen my expertise in color theory and become a true master of color artistry.
​
As someone who is detail-oriented and approachable, I love connecting with clients from all walks of life. My chair is a space where you can feel relaxed, heard, and confident that your vision will be brought to life.
​
I grew up in Mexico, and although I've called the Seattle-Tacoma area home since first grade, my roots still hold a special place in my heart. After briefly moving out of state, I'm thrilled to be back in the PNW, surrounded by its natural beauty and vibrant community.
​
Outside of the salon, I love spending quality time with my 6 year old daughter, visiting my family in Mexico, and cherishing moments with my close circle of lifelong girlfriends. I'm a self proclaimed homebody who loves a cozy night watching movies but also enjoys hiking, dancing on rare occasions, and traveling to explore new cultures and languages. Fluent in Spanish, I've also studied French and Japanese, and I'm always eager to learn more.
​
Joining the Dolce Salon team feels like a perfect match. I'm excited to bring my creativity, passion, and dedication to every client, helping each one feel uniquely beautiful and confident. I'd be honored to be part of your hair journey!
