Meet Our Stylists

Carmel Lepore, Owner + Stylist

Carmel has been doing hair since 2000 and was a Davines Regional Educator for eight years, inspiring and mentoring fellow stylists. After graduating from beauty school in her hometown Seattle, she spent four years honing her craft in upscale salons before Moving to Albuquerque in 2005 and opening her own salon in 2012.

"Ever since I began styling hair over 20 years ago, it has always been my dream to have my own salon—a place where my vision and style pervade every aspect of the business. Cila is my namesake, Carmel Irene Lepore; it represents everything I've dreamed of achieving in my professional career. Now, I focus on running my salon, working in real estate, Baking, and cultivating flowers, vegetables, and fruit on our small farm in the North Valley. I specialize in grey blending, transitioning to grey, and covering grey hair, helping clients embrace their hair journey with confidence and style."
