CARLA DASILVA

Culture is what has truly shaped Carla Dasilva as an artist in the hair industry. She was born and raised in the small town of Hudson Ma to a humble family of Portuguese and Brazilian roots. With her European and South American heritage came a passion for art and fashion which later developed into a career in the hair industry. A good part of her childhood was spent visiting the Acores,Portugal and Brazil which exposed this artist to amazing aspects of both cultures including street performers,dancers and hair artists and the many fashion pieces they adorned.

At 16 Carla was hired at a local Aveda salon and began traveling to the many classes and shows put on by the company. During her second year in college as a science/art major she made the decision to leave and enroll in cosmetology school to explore her passion for hair, science and ,of course, fashion! She continued her travels to Minneapolis where she attended the Aveda Congress and then off to Soho,Manhattan for private classes. She was fortunate to have the privilege of training with amazing artists such as the late Horst Rechelbacher (founder of Aveda Corp) and Oscar Bond. By the age of 24 she became a colorist and began building her business and her brand. Art continues to flow through her veins and oil painting has become one of her favorite hobbies when she’s not in the salon. Some of her greatest inspirations come from day trips to the city.

Today Carla is solo artist/educator at Belerinaz Salon, a Bumble and Bumble Boutique Salon. She continues to travel and train with hair artists across the globe including her most recent trip to New York City to train at the Bumble and Bumble University where she had the distinct honor of working with a team who performs behind the scenes during fashion week. It is these life changing experiences that have molded this artist to keep learning and finding new inspiration.Today she is very passionate about being a color and extension specialist to bring out the very best in her clients!
