" I don't even know where to begin! Kayla is the best. I've been seeing her for the past 4 years and have been with her through out all her salon moves. Wherever she goes, I will follow. I've seen her for tape ins, volume wefts and k tips. She nails it every time no matter what type of extensions I get. Kayla's is such a sweet person and is so easy to talk to. She's passionate about her work and constantly is keeping up with the every day trends. Go see her! You won't regret it!"

"Kayla is the absolute best! Coming in with no extension experience, she has constantly catered and adjusted based on my hair needs, as well as educated me along the way. Her color match is insane and I have never felt more confident because of her talent. Plus, she's so easy and fun to talk to, which makes the long time in the chair just fly by! And she is so communicative and if you ever have any questions, she always gets back to you in a timely manner. I couldn't recommend or love her more!!"

Over the past three years, Kayla has been an absolute game-changer and a true lifesaver when it comes to all things hair. Her exceptional skills and unwavering dedication have consistently transformed my hair into a work of art, leaving me in awe every time I look in the mirror. I've not only loved the outcome every time but also have a newfound confidence in myself. I can genuinely say that I've never loved and appreciated my hair as much as I do now, all thanks to Kayla!!"

what past clients are saying
Kayla is incredible. She saved my hair. I went to an inexperienced hairstylist who used a method for extensions that damaged my hair, i was referred to Kayla to fix a bad situation.
When I had my consultation with Kayla, I immediately knew I was in good hands. She is knowledgeable, a true professional and unbelievably talented. Her ability to blend colors and methods for custom extensions is truly extraordinary. Kayla is the best! Hair extensions will change your life, and Kayla is the only person to trust!"

what past clients are saying
" Kayla is my go-to gal when I am in Chicago! She is a blonde expert and there's very few stylists I trust with my blonde outside of Kayla. For anyone new to the blonde game, she's really good with educating you on what to expect and walking you through the process of getting your desired blonde. Don't be afraid to ask her questions, she loves to help and has a wealth of knowledge!"

Kayla is absolutely the best! I've been seeing her ever since I moved to Chicago and my hair has never looked better! Most people have no idea I even have extensions because of the perfect color matching, blending, and extension installation. I always walk out of her salon feeling confident. Thank you Kayla"

what past clients are saying
"I highly recommend Kayla to anyone who is looking to get hair extensions. I initially started seeing Kayla prior to my wedding. She was able to help me achieve the length and dream hair I wanted for my special day. As my goals for my hair changed after the wedding, Kayla was able to suggest different techniques that better aligned with my goals for my day to day hair.
Kayla's passion for extensions and all other things hair related is evident. She is always keeping up to date with the newest techniques and is able to suggest the best plan for each client. It is an added bonus that Kayla has become what I consider a good friend as both of us have celebrated exciting life events throughout my time going to her! I always look forward to seeing her and catching up at my appointments - she is simply the best!

what past clients are saying
"Kayla is a color-matching and extension genius. No matter the time of year or the vibe you are going for, Kayla knows what to do. She'll work with you on your vision but also shoot you straight if she doesn't think a color or style will meet your expectations. I'd trust her to take care of my hair blindfolded and as a type-A control freak, that is saying something!"
