My passion in the beauty industry started at age 5 when I realized that I loved to play with my dolls’ hair. After not being satisfied with the dolls’ hairstyle, I decided to cut it and style it to my own liking. After not having any more dolls to give “makeovers”, my next clients were my 2 sisters. I gave them a new hairstyle every day from my own imagination. Not only did I give my sisters new hairstyles, but also designed and made clothes for them to compliment their new look. After receiving my university degree in Child Psychology and working in the field for many years, I realized that my true passion was in the creative arts, specifically cosmetology. By working in the beauty industry for over 20 years, I have developed many great relationships with industry professionals and most importantly, wonderful clients who give me the satisfaction to come to work each day. Salon Bravissimo’s management and staff, along with the fantastic, professional, and artistic work environment, inspire me to be more creative and passionate for my art.

By far Behnaz is the best hair stylist that I have been to!!! I was getting non stop compliments about my color, the cut and the way she shaped my hair. She is the only one that I will trust my hair too! Above that, she is a wonderful person - not only is she beautiful outside and equally beautiful inside. I highly recommend Behnaz for your next hair appointment!!!!

Kristen AllenBehnaz is absolutely incredible! After trying (and failing) to color my own hair during the Covid lockdown, she saved me. I went in with no idea what I wanted to do with my mess of hair and left happier than I anticipated. I've had 3 appointments so far and plan on continuing to book with Behnaz.
Amber PattersonBehnaz is a true artistic genius! My haircut is always perfect and beautiful. Also, she is able to cut my hair in a way that it grows out well and only needs minimal styling to still look great! This is so important for an entrepreneurial mother of three teenagers. To top it off, Behnaz is a pleasure to be around. Thanks so much for my last beautiful cut, Behnaz!
