Cheerful. Authentic. Quirky. Restorative. Riveting. Spunky. Innovative. Beautiful.
That’s a glimpse of how the inspired professionals of Aeracura Salon view their team and their work. That team has been a true blessing for owner and Master Stylist, Christi Bradham, as has doubling the honest beauty that radiates from both the original location in Historic Reynolda Village, and the more recently opened Aeracura Salon and Spa West in the heart of Clemmons. The mood at both is slightly magical, brimming with generous amounts of love and light.
Along with the highest quality, 100% naturally derived Aveda products, each Aercacura stylist brings a unique personality and artful touch to the mix. Read their insights into what makes this popular salon the best possible personal escape!
“I am always inspired to make my guests feel good about themselves! It might be highlights to make a college freshman feel more confident, a huge chop to move on from a break-up, or listening when they’ve had a really rough week. We’re our own tribe here – and you’re not just the guest of a single stylist – you get to know everyone!” – Krista Crafton, Master Stylist
“At Reynolda Village, our home is in one of the area’s amazing historic buildings, with large windows that let in natural light – part of the warm, welcoming experience we give all our guests! Our all-natural products also allow clients to feel good about what they put on their hair.” – Madison Marrs, Master Stylist
“What inspires me most about working at Aeracura is the ability to freely be an artist, and always find a way to step out of my comfort zone and learn! We constantly bounce ideas off each other, and help accommodate each other’s clients to make sure we all succeed.” – Ethan Walker, Master Stylist
“My clients inspire me every day! Plus, the other stylists create a supportive environment, challenging me to always become better. Our Aveda products are clean and inclusive, with an option for every skin and hair type.” – Marlie Stanberry, Esthetician
“What inspires me about Aeracura is that there will always be something new to learn. Not only are we a teaching salon, but with our hair color, we can control every tone so clients that walk into our salons, walk out with hair color unique to them.” – Shelby Brice, Hair Stylist
“I am inspired to benefit all the employees at Aeracura Salon, and always want them to feel at home and cared for – like a family. When clients come in, I hope they also feel appreciated, calm, relaxed, and inspired.” – Claudia Myers, General Manager
“I believe both salons being built on family values is what sets us apart. We give back to our community, and enhance natural beauty with our eco-friendly products and services, as well as learning from each other, sitting side-by side every year to further our education. Christi does a wonderful job of encouraging creativity!” – Amanda Morris, Master Stylist
“I am most inspired to give clients a totally personalized ‘kick your feet up and let me pamper you’ moment in their busy lives. I love giving them a relaxing scalp massage and, together, figuring out what we’re doing with their hair! The vibe is always so positive, and I always feel better when I’m at work with my team!” – Michaela Longo, Hair Stylist
“From our color line to finishing products, and up-to-date classes from Aveda, I know I’m working in a salon that cares about me as a stylist, and about my clients, who want to feel their best. We have clients from all walks of life, who love our vegan, cruelty-free products and alluring atmosphere. Our customer service is also second to none!” – Cheyenne Solano, Hair Stylist
