Hasblady Guzman

Owner

With over 30 years of extensive experience in the beauty industry, Hasblady comes from a long line of hairdressers – her mother, aunt and brother all share her deep love of great hair.

She relocated to the US from Bogota, Colombia in 1982 and quickly opened her extremely successful salon, Renaissance Hair Studio, at 21 years old. In 2002, she expanded by opening a second salon, Bokaos Aveda Pasadena- the recipient of immediate rave reviews- and eventually a third location followed in Glendale in 2008. In 2009, she moved all three businesses to one, beautiful loft-esque location in the heart of Old Town Pasadena.

Hasblady’s education has been ceaseless; she has always continued to learn and expand her knowledge with advanced training from the likes of Vidal Sassoon in London, Toni and Guy in Chicago, Arrojo in New York, Fekkai in Los Angeles and Carsten Wilms. She is also certified for Hairdreams VOLUME+ MICROLINES, and is currently actively pursuing education in bridal make up artistry and airbrush techniques with make up giant MAC Cosmetics. 

She has worked with many celebrity clients for print and television projects, and has a special love for the styling, extensions and updos that feed her creative soul. An expert bridal stylist, Hasblady is renowned for her delicate and feminine updos and styling.

Suzi

Master Stylist

Suzi hasn’t aged in 25 years: she is our resident vampire. Suzi truly is a master at her craft. Her honesty and loyalty are unfounded, making her a treasure here at Bokaos Aveda. When her bubbly personality walks into a room with her tiny puppy, Charlie, all eyes are on her.

Advanced Stylist

This impressive artist is a Paul Mitchell graduate. Aspen fills her days with hair painting and is an incredible highlighter. She has an incredible ability to freshen up anyone’s looks. She also has a love of men’s grooming and will make any gentleman look his best!

Mitch

Stylist Level 2/Advanced

15 years ago, a punk rock/emo boy began experimenting on his own hair (as well as victimizing friends and family) after lackluster results from salons. Unable to see hair as a lucrative career, he spun his wheels as an EMT, then majored in communication and worked for a radio station. Dying for a creative outlet, friends at Sally Hershburger extended an olive branch. He quit his salary job to begin an accelerated apprenticeship program, specializing in color. He had the opportunity to work alongside renowned stylists such as Allen Edwards and assisted on Dancing with the Stars and Dior fashion shows. He became an educator for Unite and began working in Beverly Hills and Malibu where he mastered keratin bonded extensions. Today, Mitch works on-set for multiple Netflix shows, music videos, and retains celebrity clientele throughout Los Angeles. He enjoys donating his time cutting the homeless in Hollywood with stylists of Chris McMillan Salon. Mitch’s dream is to open an animal rescue. When he isn’t working, he can be found hiking or kayaking with his dogs, bungee jumping and enjoying live, eclectic music.
