Jana is currently not booking any new clients.

In the first years of her career, she was introduced to Bumble and Bumble and she instantly fell in love with their drive and energy. Connecting with their warm and easy culture, Jana has built her own haven for hair in the heart of old town Fairfax. Her modern take on vintage aesthetics reflects her admiration for quality that will stand against time, and her cuts are no different.

While she consistently stays on trend with her work, she maintains the quality in her cuts that she seeks in all of the vintage gear she has throughout her shop. She focuses on creating cuts that look just as beautiful and effortless after the product is washed away as it did when you were sitting in her chair.

Jana’s time spent exploring hair in New York City with Bumble and bumble tailored her style as a hair dresser, helping her to create brilliantly dimensional hair colors and strengthen her expertise in short, technical cuts with hair of any texture. Her belief that even a minimal change can make one feel confident and create more significant changes in a life as a whole has shaped her passion for her clients.

While Jana may not strive to be a world renowned hair stylist, her efforts to inspire her clients and spark their passion for themselves has become her proudest achievement as she builds her local empire.

Born and raised in the nation’s capital, Washington DC, Yeny has always had a passion and love for everything in the world of beauty.

As a little girl, she remembers traveling to El Salvador with her mother. While there, Yeny began watching her aunt Roxana, a makeup artist/hairdresser, do what could only be described as “magic”. Men, women and children left her chair with so much joy! From that moment, Yeny knew she wanted to learn every “magic trick” she could from her aunt. She would spend weeks in the salon learning everything from color techniques, makeup application, blowdrying and even manicures/pedicures. As years went by, Yeny became her aunt’s twin; she became the one creating magic herself!

Yeny attended Paul Mitchell The School at Tyson’s Corner. From that point on there was no turning back! She learned so much about the stylist she wanted to become, and she was certain she was going to make this her career. Over the past couple of years Yeny has dedicated her entire mind, body and soul to perfecting the craft of balayage (hair painting) and lived-in haircuts while emphasizing organic, subtle changes. Her work has been featured on some of Instagram’s most popular pages such as Olivia Garden, Hot Tools, and Behind the Chair. Yeny’s goal is for all her guests to feel comfortable knowing that she focuses on beautiful, healthy hair! She cares for every single guest she has and prides herself on maintaining long-term relationships.

Yeny is so grateful to have such amazing people in her life and believes she wouldn’t be where she is without each and every one of them. She looks forward to creating new “Pinterest-looking” hair art and beginning new relationships in the process!

Kiley was born and raised in New Jersey, and from a young age, she performed in theatrical productions throughout the NYC/NJ area. Even though she loved being on stage, her real passion was behind the scenes. At university (2001-2005), Kiley trained in makeup artistry for beauty, bridal, stage, film, and TV. As soon as she took classes, she knew makeup artistry was what she wanted to do for the rest of her life.

After graduation in 2005, Kiley started working professionally in the Shenandoah Valley. While there, she worked with many destination brides, clients, and photographers.

Kiley's background in so many artistry mediums set her apart. With her education and years of experience, she can sit with clients, photographers, and companies to create looks built on their needs. Kiley has learned the importance of layering and building a character's look from scratch while doing theatrical makeup; the beauty of less is more with editorial and paying attention to all the fine details with bridal, film, and TV.

Kiley has worked with many notable photographers and has been featured in Washington Family Magazine.

Like every art form, makeup is subjective. As a makeup artist, Kiley specializes in natural, radiant makeup looks allowing the client's beauty to be center stage. She believes that makeup should enhance clients' features, not conceal them. Her favorite looks to create are classic ones, as they withstand the test of time.

Kiley loves to learn and develop her craft. She enjoys being educated by other artists by taking classes virtually and, when possible, in person. Kiley has been lucky enough to learn from some of the best artists in the business, such as James Vincent, Danessa Myricks, Charlotte Tilbury, and others.

In her spare time, Kiley enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her husband, two children, and their poodle.

Mara Hair Studio House Rules

Our policies aim to provide a seamless and consistent experience for our valued clients while also acknowledging the efforts and dedication of our employees. We sincerely appreciate your understanding!

Booking

A valid credit card is required at the time of booking an appointment.
You can book appointments by calling us or booking online via our website.
If you don’t see your stylist or the services you’re looking for online, please call us. Please do not book for a different service than what you’d like to get done.
If you’re unsure of what services you’d like, please call us directly. Booking the incorrect service will result in a 50% cancellation fee if your stylist is unable to perform the service you need for your desired look.

Cancellation Policy

Please notify us 24 hours prior to your appointment if you need to cancel or reschedule.
Late cancellations or missed appointments will incur a 50% charge of the total service(s) to the credit card on file.
If your appointment falls on a Monday, kindly let us know by Saturday, as we're closed on Sundays.

Late Policy

If you happen to be running late, please give us a quick call or send a text at 571-992-0407. We understand that life happens!
Your stylist may need to adjust or reschedule your appointment accordingly to respect the rest of their clients’ time for the day.
Unfortunately, if your appointment needs to be canceled due to lateness, a 50% charge of the total service(s) will be applied to the card on file.

In Studio Guidelines

Your comfort and safety are essential to us. Face masks are optional, but if you prefer your stylist to wear one during your appointment, just let us know.
To maintain a clean and pleasant environment, we kindly ask that you refrain from bringing outside food. However, drinks are absolutely fine!
When arriving for your appointment, we request that you come alone, except when an adult needs to accompany a minor who cannot be left unattended. We’re often a full house so our waiting area is specifically for clients waiting for their appointment or undergoing a processing service.

Gratuity

Should you feel inspired to leave gratuity after your appointment, cash is preferred. We also accept Venmo. The stylists' and assistants' Venmos are listed on their respective profiles here on our website.
Please note that gratuity cannot be left via credit cards.

Redo Policy

Our priority is for you to love your hair! If, for any reason, you're not fully satisfied with your new hairstyle, please reach out to us within two weeks. The stylist who performed the original service will gladly make adjustments to ensure your desired look.
After two weeks, we consider it a new service, and if you choose to see a different stylist, it's also considered a new service opportunity.

Product Exchanges

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase! If you're not thrilled with a Bumble and Bumble product you've bought from us, we offer exchanges within 60 days of purchase for unopened or lightly used items. Let's find the perfect product for your hair!
Currently, we do not offer returns.

Parking

We've got you covered with nearby parking options! The closest free public lot is behind Truist Bank on Sager Avenue.
Additionally, we have limited designated parking at the back of the building. Access it through the charming alleyway between Mara Hair and Mode Studio and the Old Town Fairfax Building. Since these spots are shared with the neighboring restaurant and are in high demand, we recommend planning ahead to ensure you find parking and arrive on time for your appointment.
