Kalina Shtarkelova

master stylist

Hi, my name is Kalina and my husband, Chris, and I are the proud owners of Jacqueline’s Salon and Day Spa. As well as being the owner I am also a lead stylist at the salon.

I was born in Bulgaria, and my family moved to Florida in 2001. In 2004, I attended cosmetology school, and then went on to receive advanced training with world champion stylist, Michael Della Penna. In 2009 I became employed at Jacqueline’s as a stylist, and in 2017 Chris and I were given the opportunity to buy the salon.
What I love about the salon industry is that there is always something new to learn, it is always evolving and improving. At Jacqueline’s, we pride ourselves on honing our skills in our continuing education, and in this, way keeping up with the latest techniques in the industry.
We feel incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to carry on the longevity and excellent reputation of Jacqueline’s Salon and Day Spa.

Ramo Saucedo

designer stylist

Hi, my name is Ramo and I am a Designer Stylist at Jacqueline’s Salon and Day Spa. I have been in the industry for 20+ years and have been a stylist at Jacqueline’s since 2014. I was born in Saginaw, MI, aka “Saganasty” as the natives call it. My sister moved to St. Petersburg and I got a taste for the beach and the warm weather and have not looked back since.

My creative talents include all aspects of hair styling. My favorite saying is, I like to think I give people what they want before they know they want it. I love to joke and make my clients laugh. Most of all I pride myself on sending you out of my chair feeling happy, beautiful, and confident.

When I am out of the salon you can find me trying all the new restaurants, travelling or telling the funniest jokes! Before I became a full-time hairstylist, I spent some time working in the travel business. I love to travel, and I have been to ten different countries so far. I have many more places to visit on my bucket list.

My goal is to make this world a more beautiful and happier place one client at a time. And yes, I am told I make a mean tamale.

Hi, my name is Madison and I have been at Jacqueline's Salon and Day Spa since 2020. I grew up in St. Petersburg and I have had a passion for hair and art since I was 13. This passion led me to the Aveda Institute to pursue a career in hairstyling. I chose the Aveda Institute because I am dedicated to natural and earth-friendly products.

I love doing balayage, blondes, shags and fashion colors the most!

I have three cats whom I love more than anything, I am a cancer and love anything about astrology, I am very personable, understanding and I'm your girl if you want a relaxing, quiet salon experience. Our salon carries the Kevin Murphy product line which is committed to the environment and offers fabulous products. I have been using their Leave in Repair, and I do not know what I would do without it!

Anna Pizzarelli

massage therapist

Hi, my name is Anna, and I have been a licensed massage therapist at Jacqueline’s Salon and Day Spa for over 20 years. I was born in Poland where I received a master’s degree in physical education from the Sport’s Academy located in the beautiful city of Gdańsk on the Baltic Sea. As a student and athlete, I was introduced to Kinesiology and Physical Therapy but fell in love with massage therapy. I believe in this oldest form of medical care and encourage everyone to experience the healing properties of this magic therapy.

After each massage session, I do my best to educate you about the importance of stretching, hydration and flexibility. I recommend receiving aromatherapy massage at least once a month for general health. My favorite product is Balance by Serene Living which includes notes of clary sage and citrus to help keep you calm and in control.

I believe everyone deserves a massage, so please be good to yourself and book one today. The healing power of touch in our 6 feet apart society is more important than ever.

I am so looking forward to meeting you!!!

Eugene Mischenko

massage therapist

Hi, my name is Eugene, and I have been a massage therapist at Jacqueline’s Salon and Day Spa since 2003. I was born in Moscow, Russia, and moved to St. Petersburg in 2000. Since there is a St. Petersburg in Russia, I was hoping that St. Petersburg, Florida would be an ideal place for me. And I was right, it has been perfect for me and my family.

In Russia, I was a licensed osteopathic massage therapist. In 2001 I became a licensed massage therapist in the state of Florida. I work from the perspective of using the principles and aims that both massage and osteopathy share.
I have worked in this field for many years. There is no better feeling in the world than seeing the look of relief on someone’s face after they get off my table.
When I am out of the salon, you can find me spending time with my family. I am an avid runner, and swimmer. I love to swim in the Gulf all year long.
I am passionate about helping my clients find rejuvenation, relief from pain, and working to improve their health.

Ingrid Potoczny

reiki master

Hi, my name is Ingrid, and I was born and raised in Guayaquil-Ecuador (South America). My native language is Spanish, and English is my second language. I am the mother of a wonderful seven-years-old boy that I call “My Prince Charming.” He is my daily inspiration from the beginning to the end of the day.
I have worn many hats in my life which include working in radio, television, modeling, retail, customer relations, event planning and many more, but I have always ended up sitting down in my spiritual chair.  I am the second of three siblings and always admired my older brother’s ability to connect to people on a deeper/spiritual level.  His journey started at ten years old, mine started secretly at 18 while watching him use his hands and his energy to find answers for others.
I did not know what Reiki was or at least not in the scientific context of its nature. Many years had passed, many paths had been walked, many people had been touched by my energy and after realizing that I could be a bridge to help others cross difficult paths and help them align their spiritual and psychical body, my decision was made.  I left the corporate world and got my certification as a Reiki Master. My mantra has always been: Love what you do, and you will accomplish great things. I would love to help you discover the healing benefits and guidance that Reiki will bring to your life.

Jordan Sexauer Custer

Hi, my name is Jordan. I began working at the front desk at Jacqueline’s Salon and Day Spa in 2010 while I was attending the Aveda Institute pursuing my cosmetology license. I graduated as a master stylist in 2011. Upon graduation, I switched from the front desk to become an apprentice at the salon and then became a hairstylist.
While I loved being a hairstylist, I realized that my true ambition was salon management.
After leaving for Jacksonville for two years and returning to St. Petersburg, I reconnected with Jacqueline’s and was offered a position in management.
When I am out of the salon, you can find me spending time with my husband and 5 year old son. He was named appropriately, because Rob and I are always on the run chasing, Chase. I love cooking, reading, photography, road trips, and family dinners!
I am passionate about what I do, and I am loving having the opportunity to help grow Jacqueline’s Salon and Day Spa into a major presence in our location.
