My passion for beauty and wellness started from a young age. I enjoyed the creativity of makeup, I tried thousands of products on the market to treat my acne prone and eczema ridden skin. I took a deep dive into my health after my dad passed away from cancer and I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer myself.

After high school I attended the Denver School of Botanical and Medical Esthetics. I quickly fell in love with the spa industry and wanted to treat the skin more than just the face. I knew most skin conditions had underlying causes or triggers that went beyond treating the skin alone. I attended school at Higher Elevation Healing Arts to become a massage therapist as well.

Since then I've found products and treatments that have helped me along my health and wellness journey and I couldn't be more thankful for that I get to share that with the world.

In the treatment room I aim to guide everyone on their own wellness journey. I truly want everyone to be able to feel their most beautiful self, their most healed and taken care of self, their most well self.

I chose the name Bhava because it means a state of peace or bliss and I want everyone to feel that when they come here. When they trust us with their health.

It may have taken me years to find products that are safe and clean without compromising performance or luxury. Sunscreen that isn’t white and chalky, deodorant that actually works, makeup that covers a blemish, shampoo that doesn’t smell like apple cider vinegar- free of parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, endocrine disruptors or other toxic chemicals, and were not tested on animals. I promise you don't have to give up your favorite products, we’ve found a safer alternative.

I hope you find your state of peace here at Bhava, just like I have.

I have wanted to be a hairstylist since I was four years old! I started working in the industry when I was sixteen as a receptionist and was lucky be styling weddings also so young! I went to the Aveda Institute in Denver and have now been licensed for 10 years- I fall more in love with it every day.

Summer of 2024 I had the incredible opportunity to join Madalyn and help open the Salon side of Bhava! I am the Salon Educator and I specialize in Curly Hair, Dry Cutting Techniques, Bridal Styling, Blondes and Lived in Color. It is my honor to guide you on your hair journey- I will customize your service according to all of your hair dreams/ concerns.

October of 2024 Yoga at Bhava was born! I have practiced yoga for 12 years and I specialize in teaching beginners. I currently teach a vinyasa style class directed at all levels- Wednesdays at 7pm!

When I am away from Bhava I am hanging out with my German Shepard/ Husky- Tiva! We love to be outside hiking, reading at the park or getting in the water.

Ill be moving to San Antonio in September 2025 but will continue to work along side Bhava seasonally doing weddings, seeing clients in the salon and educating advanced courses! Come see me before I go and get on my schedule for march of 2026 when ill be back!

Peace

Hi, My name is Olivia and I am a new face in the esthetics world. I recently moved to Vail, CO because of my passion for the outdoors and skiing.  My journey into this field sparked from personal skin issues I no longer wanted to have and my passion for makeup. I love this industry because it's a field where creativity thrives and I can share my passion for skin care with others to make them feel beautiful. I graduated from Paul Mitchell the School and now specialize in facials and sugar waxing. Although I am new to the industry and have a lot to learn I have found that I care most about clean beauty and holistic skin care. My goal is to provide skin care services and educate and empower individuals to care for their skin. I’m excited to take off on this journey of growth, providing the best service possible to not only enhance the beauty of others but also nourish the soul, encouraging inner well-being and outer radiance.

Hello! My name is Emma, I am a new face in the salon as well as a new face in the valley. I am originally from Boise, Idaho which is where my hair career started 2 years ago. After I finished school and got my license I rented a chair in Boise and built myself from there. I then took a break from hair to explore new places. From Bozeman, Montana to Alta, Utah and many places in between, I am now here and finally back to doing something I love dearly, being behind the salon chair. I am so excited to be here at Bhava and in the Vail valley. I specialize in blondes, dimensional brunettes, lived-in colors, and dry custom haircuts. I also am experienced and certified in tape-in and sew-in extensions. No matter the service, I am here to tailor to your wants and needs and promise to fulfill them to the best I can and have you feeling your best ever! I will be styling wedding hair as well and cannot wait to make you feel your best on your big day. As a new face in the salon and the valley here is a bit about myself: I have a passion for art and I paint and draw, this led me to my passion for the art of hairstyling. I also love the outdoors, if I am not in the salon you will find me either skiing, rock climbing, hiking, rafting, biking, traveling, spending time with loved ones, etc. I can’t wait to meet you all and I hope to see you in my chair soon:)

Hello, my name is Basil Chagoya, and I was born and raised right here in the valley. After attending Paul Mitchell the School at MTI College in California, I returned home as a newly licensed cosmetologist and have been building my clientele for nearly two years.

I’m passionate about promoting healthy hair and helping clients discover the perfect cut, color, and products to fit their everyday lifestyle. I also specialize in bridal and special event styling, and love working with brides to create looks that are timeless, elevated, and uniquely them.

I can’t wait to have you in my chair and make your experience fun, personal, and memorable!
