Classic Stylist

Lovingdiligentcreative

SalonBayfrontIndustry7+ years of experience

I'm a devoted mother with a big heart, and I always dreamt of becoming a stylist. I began my education in Venezuela, and when I moved to the U.S. at 24 I had the extra hurdles of learning English and earning my GED — but once I got into hair school on a scholarship, my natural talent helped everything click. Now, after several years at ROP, healthy hair is my priority, and I specialize in dimensional color and Brazilian blowouts because those are the big changes that make people happiest. I love listening to my clients' needs and transforming their hair into something beautiful, shiny, and fun. I truly believe being a hairstylist is a superpower — I get to turn someone's day, and their hair, into something they absolutely love. I'm also grateful for a job with the flexibility to prioritize my family and connect with people in all the best ways.

The experienceWhy guests choose Yeli

I put my heart in my job. I get lost when I’m doing hair. My goal is always to make them want to go out to show their hair. Consistent, Caring, loving and detailed oriented.

I love to teach my clients how to style their hair if they want to do it I try my best to give them tips on what tools and products to use and which one to avoid, because I want their hair to look good even if I didn’t do it.

AboutBehind the chair

Hair was always in Yelicza’s heart, even while she pursued other paths as her parents wished. She began taking courses in hair and nails in Venezuela and honed her skills during free time, doing friends’ hair. It wasn't until her daughter was old enough for full-time school that Yelicza seized the opportunity to attend beauty school, turning her dream into reality. Inspired by mentors Robyn and Lisa, who shared their knowledge openly, Yelicza was guided into the world of color and cutting with enthusiasm and support. Their influence became a cornerstone in her journey to becoming the dedicated stylist she is today.

Off the clockOutside the salon

Outside the salon, Yelicza’s life centers around her faith and family. Married for 21 years, she enjoys time with her two teenagers, engaging in activities like reading, walking, and cooking. Her home is filled with love and laughter, shared with family and friends, and topped off with relaxing vacations together.

The consultationWhat to expect

It is important to me to understand what are their needs, lifestyle, goals, how much time they want to spend doing their hair, how often they wanna come to the salon, I love when they bring pictures of what they like and I also need to know what they don’t like. I also analyze the texture, density, porosity and the condition of the hair,

It is important that they use the right products so we can together maintain the help of the hair and I also like to explain to them why it is important to you the right shampoo or conditioner or products according to their hair needs.

First-time guestsFor a first appointment, Yelicza recommends guests bring pictures of styles they admire or even ones they dislike, and come prepared for an open, relaxed conversation. She encourages guests to take a deep breath, ready to unwind and collaborate on their new look.

In her kitTrusted products

Intense heat protector because I like to teach my clients how to use certain tools. I also want their hair to be protected. Making waves is perfect to create volumen Shaving hairspray it’s perfect to set the hair, allowing it to keep it with movement perfect for fine hair. Chinese is one of my favorites it add so much shine without bringing the hair down because it’s not heavy. It’s perfect for any type of hair and I love that I can use hair wet or dry.
