I work well with most people. I’m a great listener and an even better problem-solver. Whether you’re chatty or prefer quiet time, love fun hair ideas or stick with the same style, I’m happy to have you in my chair. I prefer guests who come in with some inspiration rather than “do whatever you want.” It’s your hair, and it’s my job to help you love it.

I was featured in MN Bride magazine in 2010. I have been a lead hair designer for many fashion shows in Minnesota, as well as New York Fashion Week. My team took first place in the Aveda Trashion Show two years in a row, where I created the concept and brought the vision to life. I was also honored to style bridal hair for the Minnesota-based film Until Forever. I have advanced education from Schwarzkopf, Keune, Pulp Riot, Aveda, Unite, and Surface. I am certified in Surface Awaken and Curls.

Clients love that I am thoughtful, kind, and truly care about their experience in my chair. I always take the time to listen, understand their goals, and help create a plan that keeps the health of their hair first. My goal is for every guest to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident when they leave.

“Kelly is always pleasant and ready to do whatever I ask. And the questions I ask is, “What do you think” and I am never disappointed. The color is always great and very natural, and the cut is just what I want. I see Kelly every 5 weeks and always looking forward to the visit. The salon is lovely and always full of customers and stylists. So it is very easy to highly recommend.” Jan S
