I’ve always had a love for art and have been a tattoo enthusiast, even before receiving my first one at the age of 18. The history and tradition of all art forms fascinates me, so much so, that I went to school to study it. I recieved my Bachelors in Fine Arts in 1995, after studying in NY and later graduating from the University of South Florida.

In 2016, I stood by my wife’s side as we opened Shear Joy, our first hair salon, where our mission has always been to “touch more hearts than hair.”

Being an SMP specialist has been the perfect meld allowing me to be involved in the salon, using my love for tattooing and degree in art to its fullest potential. I throughly enjoy the artistic license, but even more so helping my clients look and feel their best. The confidence that comes with Scalp Micro Pigmentation can bring, is like no other I have ever experienced.

I am thrilled that Shear Joy offers more than just beautiful hair, but that we also offer so many solutions for hair loss. Our salon has two certified trichologists that are able to examine the scalp under a miscroscope. We also offer wigs and hair pieces, laser hair therapy, specialized hair products to aid in hair restoral and now SMP. We look forward to serving you, there’s no reason to live without hair!

I have been in the industry for over 9 years. My faith and love for people allow me to connect with my guests in a unique way. I enjoy highlighting and grey coverage when I’m behind the chair. Because I’m analytical, I am able to assist in overall salon growth by mentoring my coworkers. I do this by helping them set their weekly goals and expectations. When I am not in the salon, you can find me spending time with my family and friends.

My name is Arielle DeBernardi, and I’m a proud Filipina raised in Tampa, FL. I graduated from the Aveda Institute of Tampa Bay in July 2024. I chose this career not only because I find joy in serving others, but also because helping women see the beauty in themselves in a broken world is very important to me.

I believe there’s always room to learn and grow, no matter what phase of life we’re in. The beauty industry has shown me, in more ways than one, how important it is to step out in faith and trust that, even in trials, all good things will work in our favor as long as we learn from our mistakes and keep pushing forward.

Seeing each client feel satisfied and confident, knowing they are more than just a number but a human worthy of being heard and appreciated every day, encourages me to continue this journey. What better place to do this than at Shear Joy Salon!
