Hello. I'm Kara

get to know me

A little deeper

Growing up I had to learn how to style my hair for myself. Over time styling hair became a way for me to express who I am. I love being able to help others express themselves through their hair as well. 

After attending college and working in the corporate world for a few years, my passion for hair styling was too apparent for me to do just as a hobby. I took the leap of faith, left my job, and moved from Iowa to Chicago so I could pursue my dream of becoming a hair stylist. I graduated from cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell the School Chicago a year and a half later. I have been fortunate enough to assist and learn from one of the top bridal specialists in Chicago, Erin Graham. During the week, I work full time at Scarlet & Co. located in Chicago's Gold Coast. 

I know having a great hairstyle can have the power to make a person feel beautiful and radiate confidence. It is my goal to help transform your hair so you can shine. Weddings are one of the best days of a person's life and brides should feel like the most stunning person in the world. It is my mission to use my abilities to create a wonderful, stress free experience, and leave you feeling beautifully confident on your big day.
