A May 2015 graduate of Phagan's Cosmetology College in Newport, Baylis completed her "master's degree" in styling in the Salon Ethos associate program in January 2015, which involved intensive on-the-job training in customer service, technique, and best business practices. "I'm looking forward to perform on this wonderful platform," Baylis enthused. "I've already had the pleasure of learning some wonderful techniques, and I'm very excited to take my career to the next level." Baylis has maintained an interest in the salon industry since she was 13. She achieved certification in hair color and styling, nail care, and skin care (aesthetics), as well as pursuing education through master classes, with Redken Global Artistic Education Director Kris Sorbie, Redken Education Artistic Director Chris Baran, Redken Artist Brayden Pelletier, and Dave Kirby of Summit Salon Business Systems. She will attend a four-day program to become a certified Redken specialist in May and June later this year. Her specialty centers around youth fashion, braiding techniques including cornrows, and ethnic hair. "Our partnership with Redken opens up the possibility of turning my passion into a career," she explained. "I love helping guests maintain their own styles and try new ones." A Newport resident, Baylis has a daughter, Telonnie, and loves the opportunities for hiking in the area, citing as favorites Drift Creek Falls, Cape Perpetua and the Devils Punchbowl.
