I have been working at Everything’s Relative in Beverly since December 2018, but I have been fortunate to have been in the industry for over 30 years.
I specialize in creating classic looks, razor cutting and love working with essential oils and making gemstone jewelry in my spare time.
I was inspired by Horst Rechelbacher, (Aveda’s founder) many years ago and developed a personal passion for a holistic lifestyle.

Renee O'Connor
I rejoined the team a little over a year ago in 2018, I say rejoined because I actually started with Everything's Relative years ago. First, as a part-time receptionist, as the company grew so did I! I graduated from Dudley Moore Beauty School as a nail technician and began doing nails full time at Everything's Relative. I did that for 8 wonderful years until I became a mother! Years later, I am back with the team and heading back up that ladder!
A little fun fact about myself:
I love boating, taking motorcycle trips, and spending time with my dog, Archie!
Bella Nunez
Hi all you wonderful people! My name is Isabella, I’m one of the receptionists here at Everything’s Relative!
Working in a business to help those feel confident and beautiful is brilliant; self care is vital to our mental health! Maintaining a healthy relationship with yourself produces positive feelings and boosts your confidence and self-esteem. A win win!
I am currently attending school to pursue a masters degree in Social Work. When I’m not at the desk to help you or sitting in class, you can find me at a punk show around the city, bouncing around record stores, catching up on Conan O’Brien’s podcast, and taking long walks with my dog.
I’ll see you around! Be kind!
