Arielle Correia

At this point, Arielle is basically family. She’s been a part of Josie’s life since childhood and holds a special place in her heart. Not only is Arielle the keeper of all Josie’s secrets (because salon chairs are sacred spaces!), but she’s also a constant source of positivity and kindness. And as the wise Arielle once said: “Find me on the dance floor.” – AC
