Owner Stylist & Master Colorist

Bronwyn has been a hair stylist since 1997 in the Rochester, NY area. She was introduced to Aveda in the very beginning of her career when she started at Chi Wah Salon as Chi Wah’s apprentice. Since then she has never considered another company that aligns with her passion the way Aveda does.  Bronwyn has always had an interest in caring for others doing hair and makeup for friends and family. While in high-shool her guidance counselor suggested going to EMCC to pursue cosmetology. Her passion for doing hair only truly sparked when she would watch other stylists’ master their craft, what an amazing power they all have just by transforming cuts, colors and make up! But the true bonuses for her are the connections she made with guests during her career.

 

Over the years, Bronwyn has attended many Aveda classes to further her education and skill set. In 2013, she participated in Master Colorist training with Aveda and has also attended Aveda Congress Festivals including training with Jon Reyman, Aveda’s guest artist and Lead Stylist for Fashion Week held in NYC, Paris and London.

 

Empowering others through support, leadership, connection and passion for life is Bronwyn’s philosophy.  On her days off you can find her exploring with her two daughters Penny, 4 and Isabel, 2.  Four-wheeling in Branchport, NY with her husband, Joey and in the winter you can catch her skiing Bristol Mtn.

Dawn Nagel

Dawn fell in love with Aveda in 2007 when she started working at her 1st Aveda salon as part of the front desk team, and as guest care manager.  Over the years she has attended multiple Aveda classes to keep her knowledge of the products and techniques fresh and on point.  

While you won’t see Dawn with a pair of scissors in her hand, she loves all things skin care and is trained in makeup application.

When she isn’t in the salon you can probably find her logging in some running miles or getting ready to set off on a new adventure with friends and/or family.  

Probably the only things Dawn loves more than traveling and running is her husband and 3 kiddos, who keep her laughing and very busy!

Dawn has known most of her coworkers for many years and was a client at Natura before she finally came on to work at the front desk.  She enjoys each day she gets to spend with her Natura family and with the wonderful guests who spend time in our salon.

Jennifer first discovered Aveda in Victoria, BC - where she was a hair model for the Aveda Institute Victoria. She has had her hair long, short, permed and most colors of the rainbow while lending her hair to further the education of the 1999 / 2000 graduating class of cosmetology. Prior to finding Nātura Salon 5 years ago, she was managing a kite boarding school in Southern Baja where she met her husband and relocated to Canandaigua, NY. She started working with us over 2 years ago when we needed help with the Front Desk. Besides keeping the salon tidy and greeting guests upon arrival - she is a huge proponent of skincare. If you have any questions or concerns with your skin, she is your person to ask. Jennifer has continued to expand her skincare knowledge through Aveda's continuing education program and recently attended Serious Business Conference in New Orleans with the rest of the salon. When not at the salon, Jennifer can be found in her garden or knitting socks on her couch while watching a British historical drama.
