Hair By KellyAnn

Another seamless balayage i did today. She wanted to keep her dark as much as possible. This was a fun one to do and it came out beautiful

Gave her more depth and finer highlights around the face and added bangs. Love creating with this lovely client. Thank you Kristen Shumate for entrusting me with your hair. And of course your mama too Mary K Major 😍

I wanted to do this post after I calmed down, I shared the video without context of how this young mother came to sit in my chair. First of all ive been doing hair since I was 17 years old and a young mother too back then. I had postpartum depression but didn't know really what it was i was feeling then. I just tredged along. Thru my years behing the chair i met many ladies and yes men who were suffering from depression and the one thing i alway heard was if i get my hair looking better ill feel better,and yes this is very true for alot of people. This young lady made a post about getting her hair dematted and i commented on her post,told im available if she needed my services, i didn't expect her calling me and asking if it was too late to book with me, i told her no and she drove from Ocala to sit in my chair. When she came in she was literally hiding herself and in tears,it broke my heart. I told her sit down lets take a couple deep breaths and we can talk. She came to me from going into a salon to get her hair dematted to only be made to feel more ashamed and unworthy about why her hair got so matted up, first of all that made me furious to hear what happened to her, that was so unprofessional of that establishment to make her feel like she did something so wrong and then wanted to charge her $500 to do the service. I gave her my price and i told her you will leave here feeling like a totally different person. I spent 4 1/2 hours on her hair and we talked and talked. She was crying and smiling so much yesterday when i was done. She texted me this morning and told me " thank you for changing my life" i was floored and teared up, i do this career because i love hair and i truly love creating and making people feel good about themselves. To me being behind the chair is more than making the money, the likes, etc. Its about the connection to an individual. Yesterday will be a day i will feel proud of even when i was completely sore and tired it didn't matter, what mattered was seeing this young mother who was humiliated at another salon and takes care of a special needs child on top of a 7 month old leave my chair with a smile and feel completely different. 34 ye

Client came in and was wanting a change with her hair. We talked about what colors she would like to see in the mirror. Well this is the result, i used the Redken iQ lightner and for her base i used All Nutrient color. Plus gave her Keratin Complex vital shot to give her added strength. This evening she went out to dinner and her friends were in love with her hair, plus she had a lady ask her at the restaurant about her hair. To me thats a great compliment to get. I love what I do and i have the freedom to create.

This lovely client came in today for an all over color, that was not permanent but would fade out nicely. I totally forgot a before pic but she sent me a frontal. She was salt and pepper all over. I use All Nutrient color which is a certified organic color line. All i can say is lighting was a bit off but the color came out amazing and she was very happy.
