Donaven
Donaven became a hairstylist out of a lifelong love for hair and creativity. Helping clients feel confident and creating looks that feel like the best version of themselves is what drives his work.
His approach is centered on enhancing what’s already there; creating hair that complements each client’s features, lifestyle, and personality, not just what’s trending. Healthy, wearable hair is always the priority, so clients can maintain their look with ease.
With an intentional, creative, and understanding approach, he values the connections built with each client.
Outside of the salon, you’ll find him spending time with family, staying active, or shopping.

Understanding Our Stylist Levels
Our stylist level system reflects the care, intention, and artistry we bring to every guest experience. Every stylist on our team is a licensed professional, and each level represents a combination of education, hands-on skill, and advanced training.
- Our Phresh Talent stylists (0.1 to 0.3) are artists who are newest to the industry, licensed professionals beginning to shape their craft and deepen their technical foundation.
- Stylists progress through Levels 1.0 to 7.3, supported by a flexible development approach through Vitality Academy for Salon Arts that adapts to each stylist’s strengths, goals, and pace.
- Each level represents refinement through advanced education, specialty training, and the real-world experience gained behind the chair.
Our approach to both education and services is collaborative. Lower-level stylists regularly shadow, consult with, and learn from our senior artists, who bring years of refined expertise to the space. This shared approach means every guest benefits from the collective wisdom of the entire team, not just the stylist they book with, and every lower-level stylist benefits from support and education from experienced team members.
No matter the level, you can expect the same high-standard Phia Concept experience.
