Pamela Dunn, Owner and Senior Stylist
I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t completely fascinated with hair, the way it falls, how it moves and how quickly it can completely transform a person’s entire image both inside and out. It has always been a part of who I am.
I could not have predicted that my childhood hobby would take me down this road. I have been a professional in the hair industry since May 2006. I am passionate about continuing my education and try to attend at least 2 classes a year. A few of my favorites are:
I believe the first step in being a good stylist is to be a good listener. I specialize in personalized cutting, coloring and styling that will leave you with minimal maintenance. If you are a wash and go kind of gal or enjoy an effortless lived in feel I completely understand! I love to work with and enhance the natural flow and texture of all hair types. Playing with and cutting curly hair dry is one of my favorite techniques, it is an entirely different system of cutting. I also really enjoy the challenge of precision cutting and love the satisfaction of a crisp sleek look. For highlighting, I love working with a variety of Hand Painting techniques because they are an artistic and visual application and offer such versatility for anyone looking to brighten up their look. I specialize in color transition/transformations so if you are ready for a new look book a Studio Service Consultation and lets have some fun!

Stephanie Ferreira, Associate Stylist
I have been a hair professional since 2012 and I could not be happier. My passion for hair came as a surprise to me. Before I realized it, I was considering going to school for art. I didn’t realize going to beauty school would be a form of art school. Hair has broadened my perspective of art.
The more I learn about hair, the more captivated I become. I put my heart into every cut, color, and style I do. I strive for perfection in my work. I am inspired by the talented and knowledgeable senior stylists around me. I always keep an open mind to learning new techniques from them. I love educating my clients on how to take care of their hair. I want them to look good not only when they leave the salon but every day!

Michelle Rodrigues, Stylist, Color Specialist
Loving hairstyling for as long as I can remember, I have always been the person that family and friends would come to when they needed their hair done for an event or special occasion. In 2013 I decided to turn that love into a career. Attending Paul Mitchell the School Rhode Island, I made the dean's list, completed the honor's program, and earned an honorable mention in the 2015 Beacon styling competition, winning a trip to the Professional Beauty Association's "Beauty Week" in Las Vegas, Nevada. While there I attended the American Hairstyling Awards and other events with the opportunity to pick the brains of the industry's highest profile salon owners, professionals and stylists!
Balayage and Special Occasion Styling remain some of my favorite ways to work with hair. Working at Ananda since 2014 has been nothing short of amazing because of every stylists' genuine love of hair, love of what they do, and love of sharing their knowledge to help make each other better.
I also have a strong passion for music and film, love getting tickets to a concert with friends and family, and love drawing inspiration for hair from artists of yesterday and today. I truly think of and view hairstyling as an art form. Said best by French Artist Edgar Degas, “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.” I believe that each person is a work of art! There is beauty that lies within us all, and I strive with each client to help them see it within themselves.

I am behind the chair Mondays 10 am-4pm, Thursdays 1-8 pm, Fridays 10 am-6 pm and Saturdays 9 am-6 pm.

As one of our three receptionists, I will greet you with a smile and the personal touch that makes Ananda such an inviting atmosphere. If there’s anything you may need, whether it be a beverage, a smile, or booking more appointments with our wonderful stylists I am always happy to help.
Lexie Kelly, Front Desk/Bridal Stylist & Special Events Coordinator
I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 2014, I love this industry with a passion! I have always loved styling hair for as long as I can remember. Although, I don’t enjoy cutting or coloring hair, my true passion is styling hair and doing airbrush makeup for weddings and special events. I am the Bridal and Special events coordinator at Ananda. I jumped right into the wedding industry right out of cosmetology school.
My favorite styles are the loose romantic and effortless looks. I have traveled all over New England to work weddings. My favorite place I have worked is in Vermont, it’s absolutely beautiful for a special occasion! I love to keep learning new things in this industry through taking classes. I have learned so much from Hair and makeup by Steph and a Braids and Bridal class with Alexandra Wilson.
Another passion of mine is airbrush tanning. Ever since I had pre cancerous melanoma I take all the precautions with skincare and sunscreen. The safest way to get a tan is through airbrush tanning that will leave you with instant color and flawless! It’s a perfect way to get that perfect glow for your special day! Working at Ananda is so amazing, I absolutely love what I do and the girls I work with!
