About me
Hello, My name is Ivy Mariscal, and I’m a passionate hairstylist-in-training at PCI Academy. I’ve always embraced creativity and individuality, which now inspire my journey in cosmetology. I love experimenting with bold hairstyling choices, vibrant colors, and alternative looks it’s all about bringing fresh ideas to life and helping others feel confident.
When I’m not working my craft, you’ll find me playing the guitar, binge-watching cheesy 80’s films, or immersing myself in music from every era—The Beatles will always have my heart. I enjoy putting together fun outfits, testing new makeup styles, and curating aesthetics that reflect my personality.
Spending quality time with my sister and mom also means the world to me. Beyond my personal passions, I’m dedicated to making a positive impact in my community. One of my proudest achievements is working with kids in the ICCSD, teaching them about bus safety and promoting their well-being. I thrive on staying productive, whether it’s running errands, helping others, or treating myself to a well-deserved Thai tea now and then. For me, life is about learning, connecting with people, and spreading a little joy wherever I go.

Why I'm here
I’m passionate about helping others feel confident and embrace their individuality through unique styles. Seeing how diverse looks not only enhance personal expression but also contribute to a more vibrant and inclusive society inspires me daily. I love creating an environment where you can step out of your comfort zone, try something fresh, or simply enjoy a rejuvenating update.
There’s a special joy in witnessing how a simple haircut or color can brighten someone’s day, it’s an uplifting experience for both my clients and myself. Working within a field mostly women allows me to build meaningful connections, gain new skills, and explore fresh techniques, making every day different and exciting. Even with similar services, no two transformations are ever alike; the variety of styles and outcomes ensures that this creative work is endlessly rewarding and never repeated.
