OUR TEAM
Ashley Moutinho OWNER
Ashley is the proud owner of Studio A, which she opened in 2023 after nearly 7 years of experience in the beauty industry. A graduate of the TIGI Hairdressing Academy in 2019, Ashley began her career working at two top salons in Fairfield, CT, where she honed in on her skills and developed a passion for creating beautiful, customized looks. She specializes in color services, with expertise in blonding, balayage, lived-in color, layered haircuts, extensions, and keratin treatments. Beyond her technical skills, Ashley loves building meaningful client relationships, meeting new people, and making every guest feel their absolute best. Outside of the salon, Ashley loves spending time with her husband, Scott, their son, Cristiano, and their dog, Koda. As a triplet, family is especially important to her, and she enjoys going out to dinner, catching up with friends, watching reality TV, staying active, and cooking or baking. Fall is her favorite season, and she loves embracing everything it brings. Ashley can’t wait to welcome you into her chair!
Carissa Perone JUNIOR STYLIST
Carissa is so excited to be joining the team at Studio A this December! As an artist with a Bachelor’s Degree in Studio Art, she brings creativity, passion, and precision to the chair. She specializes in blonding, lived-in color, haircuts, and her absolute favorite — blowouts. Carissa loves exploring and learning new techniques and always strives for those perfectly refined finishes. Her goal is to create hair that feels elevated, effortless, and perfectly tailored to each client. Outside of the salon, she finds inspiration through fashion, dining experiences, spending time with loved ones, and all things Disney. She plans to bring that same sense of innovation and joy into her work.
Julia Bueno ASSOCIATE STYLIST
Julia is a blonde-specialist and newly certified extension artist who loves creating soft, lived-in looks that make her clients feel confident and beautiful. A graduate of the Aveda Institute Orlando, she refined her craft before bringing her passion and expertise back to her home base in Fairfield, CT. When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll find her spending time with friends and family, working out, shopping (of course!), or connecting with new people. Julia believes every appointment should feel comfortable, elevated, and fun — while still delivering stunning, high-quality results.
