About MKL
MKL Hair Studio Salon is led by owner Mariela Rodriguez, who has spent more than three decades in the beauty industry. What began as a love of the craft has become a lifelong calling — and today, that calling has a new shape: building a salon where every guest receives the same standard of excellence she has held her whole career.
Mariela does not simply staff MKL — she curates it. She personally selects top-of-the-line stylists, barbers, and makeup artists: professionals who share her obsession with skill, precision, and genuine craft. Every member of the team is chosen for the same reason — because their work, like hers, treats hair and makeup as artistry, never as routine.
For Mariela, hair is not a routine — it is artistry. She brings that philosophy to every appointment at MKL: listening first, studying how your hair moves and how light falls on your face, and pairing you with the artist whose hands will make the look feel unmistakably yours. From the first consultation to the final gloss, nothing is rushed and nothing is generic.
Her guests come for the cuts and makeup, and stay for the care. Many have trusted Mariela's standard for years — through new jobs, weddings, and every season of life — because they know one thing: when you leave MKL, you leave feeling like the best version of yourself.
“This work is my passion. Every person who walks through this door deserves skill, precision, and a team with full heart — that is the promise I’ve kept for over thirty years.”

Cecilia Aguilar · Master Colorist
Coloring expert · Licensed cosmetologist
Cecilia Aguilar brings more than thirty years of experience to MKL — a career that began in Mexico and continues in the United States, giving her a rare command of two beauty traditions and the tastes of two very different worlds of clients.
A licensed cosmetologist and a true coloring expert, Cecilia is the artist our guests trust with their most ambitious color: seamless balayage, dimensional brunettes, luminous blondes, and rich, true-to-tone coverage. Her eye for the exact shade — and the restraint to know when a look needs less, not more — comes from decades behind the chair.
Color is chemistry and color is art, and Cecilia has mastered both. She studies how a shade will live in your hair as it grows, how it reads in daylight and in evening light, and how it flatters your skin from every angle — so you leave not just with beautiful color, but with color that keeps working for you long after the appointment.
