Hi there! My name is Jaymee Elias. I am a September Virgo and Florida native. When I’m not at the salon, I am spending my time outdoors kayaking, hiking with my dog, or gardening!

I began my education at Paul Mitchell the School of Fort Myers in the fall of 2016. During my time in school I worked as a apprentice at a 5 star salon in the area. In the spring of 2017, I received my cosmetology license and began to work behind the chair.

All of the products I use are vegan, gluten free, and eco friendly. I specialize in hair extensions and coloring with integrity. My passion is to create beautiful and dimensional colors while leaving the hair in better condition than we began with. “If it doesn’t nourish your soul or your hair, let it go!” L’anza – Surface – Olaplex – Bellami

Hey everyone, I’m Kimberly! I was born in New Jersey and moved to sunny Florida in 2001 and have resided in the Bonita area since! My love for the beauty industry started when I was just a kid that would get into all the makeup I could get my hands on. Throughout high school I helped my friends get ready for homecoming and prom and I knew that it was the career I wanted to pursue.

I graduated from Paul Mitchell the School Fort Myers in 2015 and have been working behind the chair ever since! Nothing makes me happier than making the person in my chair feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside. When I am not working, you can find me spending time with my husband and two beautiful daughters. My family is my absolute world and I cannot wait to have you become a part of my salon family!

 Jacob is a salon professional academy graduate, and he is enthusiastic about the beauty and artistry of hair, as well as continuing education for himself and his clients. Jacob also specializes in blonding, color services, and blow dry styling, but he also does everything else!

A small town Illinois girl relocated to Florida to follow her dreams. I have been working as a Registered Behavior Technician since 2018 providing behavior therapy to children with autism and other special needs. I have worked in many settings from home to center to school and am confident in my ability to adapt to any setting. With an end goal of specializing in sensory hair cutting, I am currently working on finishing cosmetology at Paul Mitchell The School Fort Myers in June. Working as an RBT I have seen first hand the concerns families have and the struggles they face and I want to do anything I can to provide better. I want to give the community an unapologetic space to be themselves and feel their best. I am dedicated to providing the safest and most inclusive salon experience for you and your loved ones!
