passion is what continues to drive me to offer the best, unique services to my clients

My services are not a one age service. I have clients who want to embody more fullness after hormonal shifts, post baby mothers who have postpartum hair loss, clients who want more hair due to previous chemo treatments, or just your professional 27 year old wanting long locks. Age with extensions is not a thing.

Running three different business isn't easy, but my background taught me to take any chance I get. Growing up in a family of women who worked in the beauty industry inspired me to pursue this passion from a young age. My mom, aunt, and grandmother taught me that if I want something, I have to work for it.

After seeing something missing in my clientele services, I made it my mission to pursue my hair extension education journey. From becoming a certified extension expert, being nominated as the SKW Extension Artist of the Year, opening my chair rental extension salon "Kalon Salon & Extension Bar", and launching my own hair and lash extensions  "Kalon Extensions" - I often think...haven't I won it all?

If you’ve been in my chair before, you can testify not only to my predominant midwestern accent, but also my honest opinion and advice. I am extremely independent, super sarcastic and straight forward. Don’t take it personal, I’m a Leo. Friends and family may say I reveal “TMI”, but I feel that there’s no shame in hiding anything because it helps me relate to my clients. I believe that relatability is one of my best assets behind the chair. This personality of mine has allowed me to form the best relationships with my clients. Some have even become family. When not behind the chair, I love seeing the world. Funny fact: I actually hate airplanes. Greece, Vancouver, the Amalfi Coast, and Alaska are hands down the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. Don’t let me fool you though, I spend at least two weeks a year sitting on my butt on a beach with a drink in my hand. Speaking of a good drink, I can often be found substituting my scissors for wine, but I do prefer an old fashioned on a Friday night.
