Meet the Team
Aurelio Salon has been part of the Howell community since 2006. Behind every color correction, curly cut, and blowout is a stylist who has spent years — in most cases decades — learning to do it well. Most of our team has been here fifteen years or longer. Here’s who you’ll be sitting with.
Daisy
Owner · Master Colorist · Extension Specialist
With 46 years in the beauty industry and 20 of them at Aurelio Salon, Daisy has built her career around creating transformations that make people feel confident, beautiful, and truly themselves. She’s known for taking on just about any hair challenge — dramatic color transformations, dimensional blonding, curly transformations, extensions, and GK smoothing services. Her artistry and commitment to excellence have helped make Aurelio Salon a recognized name in the community, earning the salon five Best of New Jersey honors.
For Daisy, hair is about transformation — and transformation has the power to change how someone feels about themselves. She believes every guest deserves to leave the salon happier, more confident, and excited about their hair. Whether she’s doing a complete color transformation, enhancing natural curls, or helping a guest reach a look they’ve wanted for years, what she’s watching for is the moment a client looks in the mirror and realizes how much their transformation has changed them.
Even after 46 years behind the chair, Daisy is still honing her skills and continuing to educate herself. She believes staying passionate and evolving with the industry is essential to being the best stylist she can be.
When you can make someone feel beautiful, you’re not just changing their hair — you’re changing their day.

Beyond the Chair
When she’s not behind the chair or running the salon, Daisy is out walking, traveling, or spending time at the beach with her family and her seven grandchildren. She’s also a serious cook — her secret-recipe lasagna has become a family institution. Even on her days off, her passion for hair doesn’t really switch off; she’s usually learning a new technique or getting inspired by where the industry is heading.
Natalie
Master Colorist · Master Stylist · Educator
With 26 years in the beauty industry and more than 20 of them at Aurelio Salon, Natalie has built a reputation for exceptional color, artistry, and mentorship. As a Master Colorist, Master Stylist, and Educator, she pairs technical expertise with a creative eye to deliver results customized to each client’s individuality.
Passionate about sharing what she knows, Natalie became an educator to guide the next generation of stylists — helping them develop their skills, build confidence behind the chair, and find their own creative voice.
For Natalie, color is more than a formula. She layers tones, depth, and dimension to create color that looks natural, vibrant, and full of movement. Her favorite moment is watching a client step outside and seeing the sunlight reveal every detail of the work she’s created.
Listen to the hair. It will tell you where it wants to go.
That philosophy reflects her belief that great hair isn’t forced — it’s created by understanding texture, movement, and the qualities that are unique to each guest’s hair. From subtle enhancements to dramatic transformations, Natalie creates color tailored to each guest’s features, lifestyle, and hair goals.

Outside the salon, Natalie paints, makes art, and spends time with her children. Whether she’s working with paint or hair color, she’s always looking for new ways to refine her craft and express her artistic vision. She believes every head of hair tells a story — her job is to listen, interpret, and bring that vision to life through color, shape, and movement.
Kim
Master Stylist · Extension Specialist
With 24 years in the beauty industry and 20 of them at Aurelio Salon, Kim brings real depth of knowledge, precision, and experience to every guest in her chair.

For Kim, beautiful hair begins with the details. She believes the best results come from understanding the individual behind the hair — every cut, color, extension placement, and finishing touch thoughtfully customized to create a look that feels natural and easy to maintain.
With decades behind the chair, Kim understands that beautiful hair isn’t about following a trend. It’s about creating a style that works for the person wearing it.
It’s the little details that turn beautiful hair into exceptional hair.

She also finds inspiration in the little things — fashion, beauty, and the ever-changing world of hair.
Dulce
Senior Stylist · Curly Specialist
With 17 years at Aurelio Salon, Dulce brings knowledge, creativity, and a thoughtful approach to every guest experience. She’s known for a calm presence, a kind heart, and attention to detail — she takes the time to truly understand each guest’s hair, lifestyle, and vision before creating a customized look.
Specializing in curly hair, precision haircuts, and formal styling, Dulce loves helping guests embrace their natural texture while also creating elegant looks for weddings and special occasions. Whether she’s enhancing curls, designing a polished updo, or tailoring a haircut, her goal is always results that feel personal, polished, and true to each guest.
For Dulce, beautiful hair begins with listening. Before starting a service, she asks all the right questions — sometimes what feels like 21 of them — to fully understand what a guest is envisioning. From hair history and daily routine to the details of their inspiration, she pieces everything together to create a look that fits their needs, personality, and lifestyle.
She believes communication is one of the most important parts of the salon experience. By taking the time to understand exactly what a guest wants, she can turn their vision into a result that feels authentic, beautiful, and uniquely theirs.
The best results begin with understanding the vision and bringing it to life.

Beyond the Chair
Outside the salon, Dulce expresses her creativity through drawing and sketching. Her artistic eye extends beyond hair, letting her explore different forms of creativity and find inspiration in the details around her. Most of all, she loves spending time with her son and family — whether she’s creating, relaxing, or making memories, family remains a meaningful part of her life.
Jenna
Senior Stylist
With 22 years in the beauty industry and 17 of them at Aurelio Salon, Jenna has built a reputation for precision, creativity, and versatility behind the chair. As a Senior Stylist she specializes in precision haircuts, corrective color, and formal styling, with a particular passion for bridal hair and the looks that go with life’s most memorable occasions.
Known for embracing a challenge, Jenna loves turning her clients’ ideas into reality through services built around their vision. Whether she’s correcting color, crafting an elegant updo, or cutting a fresh new shape, her favorite moment is the mirror reveal — watching a client light up with confidence when they see the finished result.
For Jenna, no two heads of hair are the same. She loves the puzzle-solving side of hairstyling: finding creative solutions, refining details, and helping clients achieve results they may not have thought were possible. She believes patience and communication are what turn a good service into an exceptional one, and she takes every opportunity to think outside the box and create looks tailored to each guest.
The best transformations happen when creativity meets confidence.

When she’s not doing hair, Jenna is capturing memories behind a camera, making memories with her kids, and trying to keep her garden alive. Creativity doesn’t stop when she leaves the salon — it just finds a new outlet.
Sitora
Stylist
With 8 years in the beauty industry and 3 years at Aurelio Salon, Sitora brings creativity, passion, and a real appetite for learning to every guest in her chair. From beautiful blonding and dimensional highlights to elegant bridal updos and smoothing services, she loves creating looks that leave her guests feeling confident and refreshed.
Her passion for hairstyling started long before her career did. As a child she loved doing her family members’ hair — and styling her dolls. That childhood passion has grown into work she genuinely loves, and she considers hairdressing an important part of who she is.
For Sitora, hair is about transformation — not just on the outside, but in the way a person feels. She loves getting to know each guest and creating a look that makes them feel like the best version of themselves. Whether it’s bright dimensional blonding, a bridal updo, or a smooth polished finish, she puts creativity into every service.
She also believes being a great stylist means never stopping learning. She’s continually educating herself, picking up new techniques, and growing her skills so she can always bring something new to her guests.
When you love what you do, it becomes a part of who you are.
