Karina Barrales

Originally from the Bronx, NY and raised in Rock Hill, SC. I was drawn to the beauty industry from an early age. What began as a childhood passion for makeup grew into a thriving teen freelance service, ultimately inspiring to formalize my talent at the Aveda Institute.

After earning my cosmetology license, I completed a rigorous, year-long Associate Program in Lake Wylie, SC, mastering advanced techniques before spending two years building a dedicated clientele on the salon floor. Driven by a vision for independence and an elevated client experience, I took the bold step into salon ownership to found Casa D’ Foils—a welcoming, inclusive space dedicated to top-tier service and personalized care.
