SINCE 1996

For nearly three decades, Stīl at the Meridian founder Carmen Gonzales has helped clients discover the confidence that comes from a haircut or color designed specifically for them. Since 1996, she’s built her career around a central belief: exceptional hair should feel as effortless as it is beautiful.

Inspired and trained by the renowned Sassoon Academy, Carmen approaches every appointment with a designer’s eye. Precision, balance, and movement form the foundation of her work - but the finished result never feels rigid or predictable. Instead, she blends avant-garde inspiration with a refined, ready-to-wear sensibility, creating looks that are distinctive enough to turn heads yet natural enough to fit seamlessly into everyday life.

This isn’t a high-volume salon where every client receives the same formula. As the salon’s owner and sole stylist, Carmen works one-on-one with every guest, taking the time to understand their background, personal style, and long-term hair goals before ever picking up a pair of shears.

Clients come to Stīl because they’re looking for something different: elevated craftsmanship, thoughtful collaboration, and an artistic perspective that goes beyond what you’ll find at an average salon. Whether you’re ready for a bold transformation or a simple refresh, every appointment is tailored to help you leave feeling like your best self.

Nearly three decades into her career, Carmen remains as passionate as ever about learning, creating, and refining her craft. It’s that commitment - to timeless technique, modern design, and individualized service - that continues to make Stīl at the Meridian a destination for clients who expect something exceptional.
