About me
My name is Ariana, and I’m an 18-year-old cosmetology student from Fountain, Colorado. I’ve lived in Colorado my whole life, and I’ve always been drawn to the world of beauty, from experimenting with makeup to dreaming of vibrant, colorful hair. That early love for creativity is what led me to pursue cosmetology, where I’m now specializing in vivid color and blonding. Outside of the salon, I’m a huge cat lover and an unapologetic horror-movie fan. I currently live with my parents, but I’m preparing to move with my boyfriend in hopefully 2026 as I take the next steps in my education and career. My goal is to bring color, confidence, and artistry to every client I work with.

Why I'm here
When I started high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do after graduation. Everyone around me seemed to have their future already figured out, and I felt completely lost. On top of that, I was struggling with my mental health, and the pressure of not knowing who I was, or who I wanted to be, made everything feel heavier. During my freshman year, I went to a Career Start meeting, honestly just to get out of class. But that decision ended up changing everything. In the presentation, they introduced the ISSBA program, and something about it immediately grabbed my attention. It sounded fun, creative, and like something that truly fit who I was, even if I didn’t fully know myself yet. I signed up at the end of freshman year and was accepted at the start of my junior year. I’ve been in the ISSBA program ever since, and now I’m in my second year, working toward becoming a vivid and blonde specialist after graduation. What started as a random meeting turned into the path I was meant to find.
