Meet the 31 Team
Dayna
Co-Owner +
Salon Director
As Co-Owner + Salon Director at Studio 31, Dayna is fueled by the desire to elevate the experience each and every guest has when they enter Studio 31.
​
Cherishing the interaction and connection with all who walk through the door at Studio 31, Dayna strives to make each guest feel welcome and completely at home. Mentoring and building her staff of highly trained stylists is of the upmost importance to ensure every guest not only has a great experience, but is completely satisfied with their look when they walk out the door.
As a stylist behind the chair, you are sure to love her warm and outgoing personality and when you’re sitting in her chair, it’s clear she is only focused on you. In a world of super connectivity, a real human interaction has become quite a commodity.
Dayna says it’s her job to make guests feel like the world sees them as the stunning creatures they are, and she wants that feeling to last longer than the blow dry.
Educating her guests to find solutions for their everyday challenges and coaching them on how to re-create their look at home is paramount to her.

Dayna loves creating beautiful low maintenance “lived-in” looks when it comes to hair color. If you want that coveted natural, “Born with it” look, Dayna is your girl! She is also the Extension Specialist here at Studio 31. If you want
