Meet my client, Kaitlynn, who came to me struggling with defining her curls and finding a haircut that fits her lifestyle and hair perfectly—but now rocks a stunning haircut that elevates her texture and a muted
calico-inspired hair color that is low-maintenance!
When she first sat in my chair, she was struggling with hair that wasn’t quite curly but wasn’t straight either. Years of going to chain salons left her feeling like she was never truly heard—her hair was often cut or styled in ways that didn’t suit her natural texture, and she was tired of never getting the results she wanted. That all changed once we started working together.
From our very first appointment, we connected. I knew that achieving her dream hair wasn’t just about applying the right color—it was about focusing on hair health, proper care, and embracing her natural texture rather than fighting against it. One of the biggest things Kaitlynn noticed? For the first time, she had a stylist who actually knew how to work with her curls!
The first step in Kaitlynn’s transformation was nourishing her hair back to health. Frizz and undefined curls often result from dehydration and damage, so we incorporated professional treatments that locked in moisture, strengthened her strands, and reduced breakage. We set up a schedule of K18 treatments and monthly glosses to revive her curls, ensuring they stayed hydrated and defined. By making hydration a priority and using the right products, we saw immediate improvement in the way her hair responded to styling. And the best part? Her hair started growing faster than ever!
Once her hair was healthier, we moved on to color. Kaitlynn wanted a change that felt fresh and dimensional but also low-maintenance. Together, we decided on a muted calico blend of warm coppers and soft blondes, giving her that natural, sun-kissed glow without constant upkeep. To achieve this look, I used Redken Shades EQ, a demi-permanent gloss that adds shine, richness, and fades out seamlessly. This means her color will naturally soften over time, avoiding harsh grow-out lines while allowing us the flexibility to switch things up in the future without causing damage.
When I asked Kaitlynn about her experience, here’s what she had to say:
“I was looking for a new stylist because I was going to places like Great Clips, and I just was never getting what I asked for. The thing that surprised me the most was how great you were with my curly hair—I’ve never had a stylist be good with textured hair. I chose you because we had a great connection from the first time I came to you, and I knew that was hard to find. The biggest change I’ve seen in my hair is that it grows much faster now, and the gloss treatment you do on me does wonders for my hair.”
Hearing this from Kaitlynn was such a rewarding moment. My goal as a stylist is not just to make hair look good but to make my clients feel good, heard, and confident in their own unique beauty.
Kaitlynn’s transformation is a perfect example of how the right stylist, proper hair care, and customized color can make all the difference. From frizzy and undefined to effortlessly gorgeous, she now has hair that enhances her natural beauty, grows healthier with each appointment, and makes her feel truly confident.
