Jenna McKechnie

I'm so glad you're here! My name is Jenna the owner of Basin & Hue. With 10 years in the beauty industry, i'm passionate about helping guests feel like the best version of themselves. I love everything from dramatic transformations to soft, natural enhancements and I believe every service should be tailored to fit your lifestyle, personality and goals. As a Colorado native, i'm proud to bring a welcoming, down to earth approach to the salon experience. When i'm not behind the chair, you'll find me soaking up the summer sunshine, enjoying backyard BBQs with family and friends, and spending time with my two kiddos. My favorite Paul Mitchell product is the Forever Blonde Leave-in Treatment. It delivers moisture & strength to keep blonde hair healthy and beautiful. I look forward to helping you achieve hair you love!

Hi there! I'm Jayden. I'm passionate about creating beautiful blondes and lived in color tailored to each guest. My goal is to achieve color that not only looks amazing in the salon but grows out effortlessly too! My favorite Paul Mitchell product is the Dry Conditioning Spray. It's perfect for adding softness, hydration and a refreshed feel without weighing the hair down. When I'm not behind the chair, you can find me spending time with friends and family, cheering on my favorite sports teams, or planning my next travel adventure. I can't wait to welcome you to my chair!

Ava Filer

Hey everyone!!! I’m Ava! I love creating beautiful, healthy hair! Whether you want to be bright, lived in, or dimensional, I’m your girl!! My favorite Paul Mitchell product is Super Skinny Serum! It’s so perfect to help cut blow dry time in half and help keep hair smooth and sleek looking! When I’m not behind the chair, you can find me with my family or hanging out with my friends, being outside whenever it’s nice, and online shopping (lol)! I can’t wait to meet each and every one of you!

Kristali Gonzalez

Hi, I’m Kristali! I specialize in highlights, balayage, color, and cuts, creating everything from bold transformations to soft, lived-in looks. My goal is to help every client feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful while building genuine connections and bringing their hair goals to life. 

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll find me spending time with family and friends and getting outdoors. I also love a cozy day in with movies or a good card game. Traveling and trying new things are some of my biggest passions—and of course, I’m always down for good food!

Charlize Velasquez

Hi beauties! I’m Charlize born and raised in Colorado, with roots deeply connected to El Paso, Texas, where my family is from. I’m passionate about creating a fun, welcoming space where every client feels confident, beautiful, and completely themselves. 

I believe great hair is personal, so I take a personalized approach to every appointment to bring your vision to life while keeping your hair healthy and elevated.

Whether you’re looking for a bouncy blowout, rich dimensional color, or a full transformation, I’ve got you covered. I specialize in lived-in blondes, vibrant reds, and dimensional brunettes! 

When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me spending time outdoors, listening to good music, and making memories with my family, the little things that make life so special.

I can’t wait to meet all my baddies, connect with you, and create a look that feels uniquely you. Whether you’re coming in for a subtle refresh or a full transformation, I’m so excited to have you in my chair! 

Kaitlyn Corwin

Hey beautiful! I’m Kaitlyn, a Colorado native with a lifelong passion for all things beauty. I truly believe confidence starts with great hair, and nothing makes me happier than helping my guests feel their absolute best — whether through a bold transformation or a subtle refresh.

I attended the Aveda Institute of Denver right after high school and proudly graduated in July 2024. Behind the chair, I especially love creating lived-in blondes, dimensional brunettes, and soft, layered cuts full of movement and effortless style.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll usually find me enjoying everything Colorado has to offer — from lake days, paddle boarding, and camping to traveling and exploring new places. I love adventure, but I’m just as happy spending a cozy night at home reading a good book, binge-watching a favorite show, or relaxing by the pool.

Creativity has always been a huge part of who I am, and I love being able to express that through my work behind the chair. I can’t wait to meet you and help you feel confident, radiant, and completely yourself. See you soon, beautiful!
