Some nice suggestions - my one thought is I would probably avoid any uncommon name that has more than two syllables, or isn't spelled phonetically. I'm assuming you want potential clients to remember you, jot the name down, read it from an ad, say it over the phone etc. The less familiar, the less likely they will remember it. There are some lovely names here but a lot of them I know would pop right out of my head, or I'd have trouble pronouncing them if I saw it written down. It defeats the object of being the only stylist with that name if you're also the stylist no one remembers.
On that note, I like older names which are out of fashion, but which people will have heard before. Everyone I've met with that type of name I've initially thought 'wow, that's old fashioned' and grown to find it really individual and pleasant. Nancy, Penelope, Vanessa, Coral, Janine, Ava, Astrid, Irene, Lucille. Classy but quirky.
Whatever it is, make sure you can say it without feeling self conscious.
Edit: ok after looking at your photos I'm getting strong, fun and bold. I think you need a short name with a kick to it. Keeping with the mythology theme, how about Nike? (Nye-kee)
