Originally from Glenwood Springs, Colorado, AJ Montes brings creativity, authenticity, and meaningful connection to every guest experience at Centre Salons & Spas.
AJ discovered his passion for the beauty industry through a love for both artistry and human connection. What began as an appreciation for creativity quickly evolved into a deeper purpose: helping people feel more confident, empowered, and aligned with who they are through personalized hairstyling experiences. For AJ, cosmetology is more than a career — it’s a form of artistic expression combined with genuine care for people.
Specializing in haircutting, face framing, layering, and voluminous blowouts, AJ loves creating customized looks that reflect each guest’s personality, lifestyle, and individuality. He approaches every appointment with thoughtful attention to detail, focusing not only on the technical side of hair, but also on creating an experience where guests feel comfortable, understood, and truly seen.
AJ believes personalized service starts with connection. Through detailed consultations and genuine conversation, he takes time to understand each guest’s goals, values, and vision before bringing that vision to life through hair. His warm, approachable energy helps create an atmosphere where guests can relax, trust the process, and leave feeling more confident than when they arrived.
A graduate of the Aveda Institute Denver, AJ is deeply passionate about personal growth, leadership, and continuous education. He has participated in advanced haircutting education, leadership development programs, and self-improvement studies that continue shaping both his professional and personal growth. He is especially interested in continuing his education in advanced cutting, color techniques, business development, leadership, and education.
Driven by values like growth, authenticity, discipline, compassion, and purpose, AJ is constantly striving to become the best version of himself both inside and outside the salon. His long-term goals include growing as a stylist, becoming a leader and educator within the industry, and continuing to elevate his craft on a larger platform.
Outside the salon, AJ enjoys spending time with friends and family, watching movies, gaming, and focusing on self-improvement and personal wellness. For AJ, one of the most rewarding parts of hairstyling is witnessing the emotional transformation that can happen in the chair — helping guests not only love their hair, but also feel more confident, comfortable, and connected to themselves.
