Shiela Gomez
Master Stylist & Artistic Director
Shiela Ocampo Gomez discovered her passion for hair styling when she was just 17 where she eagerly sought a position within the prestigious traditional European David's Salon in the Philippines. She learned the ropes from the ground up, including the intricate details and subtle nuances of European hairstyling combined with Asian techniques.
Philippines Cosmopolitan magazine featured Shiela and she soon landed a TV spot on the popular TV show Good Finds.
In 2005, Azta Urban Salon eagerly snapped up Shiela where she rapidly became one of their top-grossing Senior Stylist and Senior Technical Educator.
Upon emigrating to the United States, she set her sights on being a Master Stylist in Weston, Florida. She soon began collaborating as a texture specialist for several large hair product distribution companies in South Florida.
It wasn’t long before she opened her own salon in 2009 and named it aztig urban salon, inspired by her time at Azta.
She served as the national educator at De Fabulous for Japanese and Keratin Straightening treatments, travelled to New York City, Chicago, Orlando, Los Angeles, and Dallas to showcase her Razorality hair cutting technique. Shiela was also invited by Oprah Winfrey’s hair stylist of 25 years -Andre Walker- to promote his products in Australia as their international sales-spokesperson.
With 11 years of experience and a US-Licensed cosmetologist, Shiela's mission is to share different techniques and spread knowledge where breaking the norm and pioneering new trends is essential for today's Hair Artists.

Sundy Jerome
Intermediate Stylist
Before our rising-star and certified aztig stylist made her way to our salon, she tested the waters as a hairstylist’s assistant in an upscale Ft. Lauderdale barbershop honing her expertise in blow drying, spray tanning, and airbrush makeup.
Sundy is one of the rare “born-stylist” stylists; having always known she wanted to work in a salon, when the opportunity presented itself, she jumped on it.
Sundy’s strengths include blowdry, spray tanning, and airbrush makeup and has received intensive training in all manner of hair color, up-do, and hair cutting. She is a truly well-equipped and creative stylist.
She recently plied her services in pre-production of surprise-makeover television show Cambio Total where one lucky (and very surprised) young lady receives “The Works” here at aztig urban salon.
Our ambitious stylist has lofty goals as well: she yearns and pines to exceed every expectation of her guests and stops at nothing to ensure their happiness with the services she provides.
Claudia Suazo
Lead Stylist
Before our joining the aztig urban salon team, Claudia helped guests achieve their hair and beauty goals as a stylist for eight years.
She woke up one morning with a fire for hair styling burning within - she felt something inside her yearn to help other people, and she really enjoys it.
Claudia trains herself in all aspects of color, cut and highlighting, and has received specialized training directly from Redken and L'Oreal.
Claudia has a great many aspirations and professional goals. As she grows in her career, she hopes to grow your expectations of her.
