About the Owner

Meet the team

I call myself lucky because deep down, I always knew I wanted to do hair.

I hit the grindstone during my high school summers to graduate cosmetology school & high school at the same time.

But I felt like I would be missing out on a key part of life not going to college so last-minute I applied & got accepted to Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, MI.

I ended up loving my business classes and majored in Advertising and minored in Fashion Merchandising (sewing hair is similar to clothing, who knew!)  


Kayla Thompson

The Owner

I’ve never felt more in my purpose than I do now and I want to share my gifts and talents with those that need it most.

I can’t wait to see you soon!

Fast forward 7 + years of dedication later, I have an exclusive extension clientele, a regional educator position with the largest hair extension brand & a space of my own to call home.

I ignored the whisper, but I felt like it got louder. I had so many bizarre signs that were pointing to switching my career over.

It was crazy leaving a salary job with benefits for starting from the bottom and assisting in a salon but that’s exactly what I did.

Every time I went to the salon, I felt this unexplained underlying whisper to change my career and get back into doing hair. I brushed it off.


Naturally, the progression is to push on & work in an advertising agency.

I set a goal for myself to work at what I thought was the best ad agency in Chicago at the time, Leo Burnett. And that’s exactly what I did.

A couple weeks later, I needed to find a salon my own hair coloring needs.

Once I entered the salon, I felt this instant ‘home’ feeling. It was like my soul felt comfortable. My stylist, Lili, and I quickly became friends.
