Hi! I am Giovanna "Gio" Bastone. I have been enamored with everything hair related ever since I can remember, but it wasn't until my first professional salon color service back in the 9th grade that I fell in love with the hair salon. Every time I would get my hair done, I would always leave feeling so good about myself! It was such a great feeling that I wanted to be able to give that confidence to others too. I wanted to start cosmetology school right out of  high school but unfortunately that wasn't in my future plans...YET!

​

My parents have always been super supportive of me and my aspirations, but they really wanted me to go to college so I could have something to fall back on no matter what direction my life chose to go. After graduating from Cal State Channel Islands with a business degree in 2010, I wasn't too sure what I wanted to do career wise. I ended up getting my first "real-world" job as an administrative assistant for a local company, but after several months I decided that it just wasn't the job for me.

 

In early 2012 I enrolled in cosmetology school and in 2013 I got my license. Shortly after, I apprenticed at a popular salon in Ventura, where I fine-tuned my skills and talents. I have been honing my craft for several years now and I strive to continue to grow by taking many classes to provide my clients with the latest hair cutting and coloring trends to make them look and feel great!

​

My services would best be described as natural looking with a focus on maintaining the health and integrity of your hair. I am very detail oriented and take a lot of pride in my work, so whether you are looking for sun-kissed balayage highlights, a color that compliments your skin tone, a cut that is best for your facial features or hair extensions that look as if they were your own hair, I am your girl! 

​

​

When I'm not in the salon you can find me...

 at a concert, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, reading a book, cuddling up with my cat, catching up/binging on a TV show or spending time with my husband, family and friends.

​

A Few random facts about me...

​

• I am somewhat of an encyclopedia of all things music, celebrity, and pop culture. Ask me the name of a song that's playing or who sings it and I will most likely know the answer!

​

• I am a rare triple Virgo, which means I am VERY loyal, analytical, passionate, creative, reliable and hardworking!

​

• If I weren't a hairstylist, my other dream job would be something in the music industry.
