Dana was born and raised in St. Augustine.

“When I was a small child I enjoyed going with my mother to the salon. I appreciated a good stylist who listened and delivered. Making someone feel like a million bucks inside and out has great reward.”

I've been a stylist since 1994. My best friend as a child said I was going to be a singing hairdresser. At lease half of that statement was correct. I am married to Guy Lavoie a supportive and amazing man .Together we share two children Cole (16) and Sam (21).

After I receiving a Cosmo. license, I took every opportunity to advance my education.

Some of the professional paths I have attended are Loreal Color Educator Training, Redken colorist, Toni and Guy Academy in Texas, Annual Advanced Education, Arrojo Academy NewYork and Paul Mitchell Academy. I’m also invloved with the Board of Cosmetology in Florida.

I pride myself in the skill of finding a style and color to compliment the skin tone and eyes, creating an optical illusion of the perfect face shape. Giving people a color and style that works for their lifestyle and their own styling capabilities keeps my clients coming back on a regular and sending their friends.

I also enjoy using a straight blade razor for most hair types. I love directional texturizing and enhancing the natural texture that most people don't know they have.

Coloring hair is my passion—from helping someone grow out the grey color to lightening a dark brunette to taking someone to the platinum blonde they've always dreamed of.

My hobbies include: sailing, exercising, cooking, the beach, and spending time with the family.
