learn about my services

  • These services range from simple root touch-ups and single-process all-over color to more advanced techniques like balayage, ombre, full and partial highlights, and lowlights. Using high-quality, vibrant, and long-lasting professional color, I can achieve a variety of stunning results — whether you’re looking for gray coverage, a rich, dimensional brunette, a bright blonde refresh, or a bold, creative color transformation. Every formula is customized to your hair’s needs to ensure shine, longevity, and health. Custom color not only adds depth and dimension to your hair but also enhances your overall look, giving you a personalized style that truly stands out.

  • Two Strand Twists: This is a popular style among those with natural hair. It involves dividing the hair into sections, then taking each section and splitting it into two strands. These strands are then twisted around each other from the root to the ends of the hair. Two strand twists can be worn as a hairstyle itself, or it can be undone after drying to create a twist out, which gives the hair added volume and texture.

    Flat Twists: This style is similar to two strand twists, but instead of just twisting the strands around each other, they're twisted flat against the scalp, similar to cornrows. This creates a neat, protective style that can last a few days or even up to a week, depending on how well it's maintained. Flat twists can be done on any length of hair, and they can also be unravelled to create a curly, voluminous style.

    Coils: Also known as finger coils, this is a method of styling where small sections of damp hair are twirled around the finger to create tight, spiral curls. This style works best on short to medium length natural hair. Coils can give the appearance of a full head of ringlets and can be a great low-maintenance style for those with highly textured hair.

    Roller Sets:This classic styling technique involves wrapping damp hair around rollers of various sizes and drying it under a hooded dryer. Once removed, the rollers reveal bouncy, defined curls with lots of body and shine. Roller sets work beautifully on all hair types and lengths, making them a versatile, heat-conscious option for achieving a curly look. I offer several variations: silkening roller sets, which smooth and stretch the hair to prep for a sleek straight style; flexi rod sets, which create soft, spiral curls; and perm rod sets, which deliver tighter, more defined curls.

    Wash and Go's: This is a method of styling natural hair where the hair is washed, a curl-defining product is applied, and then the hair is left to dry naturally or with a diffuser. The goal is to define the natural curl pattern of the hair and create a style that can last several days with minimal manipulation. This method works best on curly to coily hair types.

  • A silk press is a straightening service specifically designed for natural hair. It involves the use of heat through blow-drying and flat-ironing to temporarily smooth and straighten the hair. This technique is chemical-free, making it a great choice for those with kinky, coily, or curly hair types who want to experience a sleek look without the use of harsh chemicals.

    The process begins with a thorough shampoo and conditioning treatment to cleanse and hydrate the hair, accompanied by a relaxing steam treatment to help the conditioner deeply penetrate and nourish your strands. The hair is then blow-dried and sectioned off in preparation for the flat iron. Then I use a high-quality flat iron to press the hair, creating a straight, shiny, silky, and soft finish. This gives the hair a lot of body and the appearance of being relaxed, even though no chemicals were used.

    Blowout / Soft Press: This service is ideal if you want movement, body, and a smooth finish without going as sleek as a traditional silk press. After a thorough shampoo, conditioning, and heat protection, I use blow-drying and light pressing techniques to stretch and smooth the hair while maintaining natural volume and softness. The result is a polished look with bounce and shine that feels lightweight and effortless, making it perfect for clients who prefer a more natural, flowy finish.

  • Healthy, thriving hair starts with a strong foundation. Every service in my chair is paired with targeted treatments designed to restore balance, strength, and moisture because healthy hair always comes first.

    Steam Treatments (Included in Every Service)

    A steam treatment is automatically included with every appointment. Using warm, gentle steam, the hair cuticle is opened, allowing conditioners and treatments to penetrate deeply into the strand. This boosts hydration, softens the hair, and improves overall manageability. Steam also promotes scalp circulation, helping to reduce dryness, dandruff, and buildup while supporting healthier hair growth.

    K18 Molecular Repair Treatment

    The K18 treatment is a revolutionary, science-backed service that works on a molecular level to repair hair from the inside out. Unlike traditional masks that only coat the strand, K18 reconnects broken keratin chains, reversing damage caused by coloring, bleaching, chemical services, and heat styling.

    • Best for: Clients with chemically lightened, color-treated, or heat-damaged hair.

    • Benefits: Restores strength, elasticity, and softness; helps prevent breakage; and leaves hair looking and feeling renewed.

    • When to Book: Ideal before or after a color service, or whenever your hair feels compromised and needs intensive repair.

    Redken Acidic Bonding Protein, Moisture & Strength Treatment

    Powered by Redken’s Acidic Bonding Concentrate system, this professional treatment helps reinforce weak bonds, reduce breakage, and lock in hydration by rebalancing the hair with the perfect mix of protein, moisture, and strength.

    • Who Needs This Treatment: Anyone experiencing dryness, split ends, shedding, or hair that feels weak and brittle.

    • Why Protein Matters: Protein treatments are essential because they rebuild and reinforce the structure of the hair strand, making it stronger and more resilient.

    • How Often to Receive: Depending on your hair health, protein and strengthening treatments are typically recommended every 4–8 weeks to maintain balance and prevent overprocessing.

    Scalp Revival Treatment

    Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. Using professional-grade scalp systems (such as Briogeo Scalp Revival™), this treatment gently exfoliates, detoxifies, and rebalances the scalp.

    • Who Needs This Treatment: Anyone struggling with flaking, itchiness, buildup, or scalp irritation. It’s especially beneficial for clients managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis, as it helps calm inflammation and reduce discomfort while creating a healthier environment for hair growth.

    • Benefits: Removes buildup and impurities, balances scalp oils, soothes irritation, and promotes better absorption of treatments and products. Regular scalp care also encourages healthier, stronger, and more vibrant hair over time.

    • When to Book: Perfect as a standalone treatment or as an add-on for clients who want to address scalp health concerns along with their styling or color service.

frequently asked questions

How can I book an appointment?

You can book online by clicking here.

Can I bring someone with me?

To maintain a peaceful and personalized experience, I ask that you arrive to your appointment alone. Each session is designed to be intimate and focused entirely on you, your hair, and your overall experience. Extra guests, including children or friends, are not permitted in the salon space during your appointment.

Why does The Crown Reset cost more than other services?

The Crown Reset is designed as a signature first-time client experience — it goes far beyond a standard appointment. This service takes more time and detail because it includes:

  • An in-depth consultation to understand your hair history, goals, and current routine

  • Continuous education throughout the service, so you leave empowered with at-home care knowledge

  • A customized protein, moisture, and strength treatment to restore balance and improve hair health

  • A detailed haircut or trim tailored to your hair’s needs and desired style

  • Personalized product recommendations and a prescription plan for ongoing upkeep

All of these elements combined make The Crown Reset a comprehensive introduction to my chair. It’s not just a style — it’s an investment in the long-term health and beauty of your natural hair.

Can I get my hair colored the same day as my consultation?

No, color services are not performed the same day as your color consultation. The consultation is a vital step in ensuring that your hair and scalp are properly assessed and prepped for the service. During this appointment, I evaluate the health of your hair, discuss your goals, and determine whether color is the right option for you at this time. This process also allows me to schedule the appropriate amount of time for your service and ensure I have everything needed for your color service.

What is the pricing for your various services?

  • The Crown Reset: This signature first-time client experience starts at $400.

  • Silk Press & Natural Styles: $325

  • Color Services: Charged at an hourly rate of $125, depending on whether you’re receiving a retouch or a full new color application. Final timing and cost are influenced by your hair’s density, thickness, length, and previous color history.

How should I maintain my hair after a color treatment?

Maintaining hair color at home requires some care and attention to ensure it stays vibrant and long-lasting.

  • Invest in a high-quality color-protecting shampoo and conditioner. These products are specially formulated to help maintain hair color and prevent fading.

  • Hot water can strip away color and natural oils from the hair.

  • Reduce the frequency of hair washing. Washing hair every 7-10 days, rather than daily, can help maintain color and prevent fading.

  • Exercise caution against using shampoos with sulfates, as they can be harsh on colored hair and cause fading. Sulfate-free shampoos are a better choice.

  • Use hair products with UV protection, such as leave-in sprays or serums. UV rays can accelerate color fading, so protection is essential.

  • Heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons can cause color to fade faster. Use these tools sparingly and at lower temperatures.

  • Use dry shampoo between washes to refresh hair and absorb excess oil without stripping away color.

  • Incorporate a deep conditioning treatment into your routine once a week or as needed. This helps keep hair hydrated and prevents it from becoming dry and brittle.

  • Wear a swim cap when swimming in chlorinated pools or saltwater, as both can affect hair color.

  • If you experiences issues with your hair color, not to attempt DIY color corrections but consult with me prior to using any professional products. DIY hair color is extremely unpredictable and can cause extreme chemical reactions.

What should I do if I'm late or need to cancel my appointment?

I have a 72 hour cancellation and rescheduling policy.

Appointments canceled within 72 hours of your appointment time will incur a 100% fee of the service total.

All appointments canceled or rescheduled prior to the 72 hour deadline will not incur a charge.

Can I bring in pictures of the style I want?

It is highly recommended that you bring in inspiration photos to your color consultation so we can discuss which colors we’d like to use from the swatch book.

How long will my appointment take?

For silk press and natural hair hair services, expect to spend 2 ½ to 3 hours in the salon.

For Color expect to spend 4 or more hours in the salon.

All service times are a rough estimate and are based off client’s hair density, thickness, length and prior hair state.

Do you provide services for children?

I do provide services for children who are able to sit and navigate through their appointment without consistent movement or help from parents.

 

Do you provide color services on chemically processed hair?

I specialize exclusively in natural hair and do NOT offer color services to clients who have permanently altered their texture with chemical treatments such as relaxers, Brazilian blowouts, Gina curls, or similar services. My focus is on maintaining the health and integrity of your natural hair throughout the coloring process.

I also do NOT provide color correction services, as these can compromise the strength and long-term health of your hair. If you’re unsure whether your hair is considered chemically processed, we will confirm during your mandatory consultation before moving forward.

What’s included in your services?

Every service in my chair is designed to be a complete, luxury experience. Each appointment includes a thorough shampoo and conditioning session, paired with a steam treatment to deeply hydrate and nourish your hair and scalp.

You’ll also receive in-depth treatments tailored to your hair and scalp needs, trims, and education as needed to ensure your hair remains healthy long after you leave the salon.

All I ask is that clients arrive with their hair detangled and free from their previous style, so we can maximize our time together and start fresh.

  • Moisturize Regularly: Use a leave-in conditioner or a moisturizing spray to keep your hair hydrated and prevent breakage.

    Avoid Over-styling: Keep manipulation of your hair to a minimum to avoid causing strain and damage.

    Protect Your Hair at Night: Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf/bonnet or use a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent frizz.

    Regular Maintenance: Depending on your style, you may need regular touch-ups. Prebook your future appointments for the best maintenance schedule.

  • Limit Heat Exposure: After your silk press, limit the use of heated styling tools to maintain the health of your hair.

    Wrap your hair: Wrapping your hair at night helps preserve the smoothness and shape of your silk press by keeping the strands stretched and aligned. It also minimizes friction against your pillow, which reduces breakage, tangling, and frizz. Whether you’re going to bed or simply lounging at home, wrapping your hair is one of the best ways to extend the life of your style and protect your hair’s overall health.

    Use a Silk Scarf or Bonnet at Night: This will help maintain your style and prevent frizz.

    Avoid Water and Humidity: These can cause your hair to revert back to its natural state. Use an umbrella or shower cap when necessary.

    Schedule Regular Trims: To maintain the health and appearance of your hair, schedule regular trims to nurture growth.

How can I upkeep my hair post appointment?

Do you color locs?

No, I do not color locs.

Do you offer consultations?

Absolutely — and not only do I offer them, I highly encourage every client to start here. Consultations are mandatory for all color services. This ensures we create a plan that prioritizes the health of your hair and delivers the best, most customized results.

Consultations are the foundation of everything I do, giving us the chance to connect, set realistic expectations, and make sure your hair is fully prepared for your transformation.

How do I know if I’m eligible for color?

We’ll determine an official answer during your mandatory consultation, where I’ll evaluate the health of your scalp and hair, your lifestyle, and your long-term goals. This ensures that we choose the safest, most effective path forward for your crown.

In general, you may be a strong candidate for color or extensions if you:

  • Maintain a consistent hydration and moisturizing routine for your hair and scalp

  • Have an established hair care regimen with quality products

  • Avoid frequent high-tension styles (tight braids, ponytails, or sew-ins) that can stress the hair and scalp

  • Schedule regular trims to prevent breakage and split ends

  • Protect your hair at night with a silk or satin scarf, bonnet, or pillowcase

  • Are committed to keeping up with maintenance appointments (whether for color touch-ups, extension move-ups, or treatments)

  • Are in overall good scalp health, with minimal flaking, excessive dryness, or active irritation

Even if you’re not a candidate right away, don’t worry — I’ll create a personalized hair care plan to get you there. My goal is to help every client safely achieve their desired look while keeping their hair healthy and thriving.

What should I do to prepare my hair for coloring?

Coloring services are a three step process at Love, Kayli Nicole. At your first appointment, you will come in for a color consultation where we will discuss hair history, hair goals, and we will conduct a strand and patch test.

Once we have agreed on when you can come back for your color service, we will schedule you a “hair prep” appointment 48-72 hours before your color appointment. At the hair prep appointment, you will receive a shampoo, treatment, blowout and haircut. This helps me properly prepare your hair and scalp for your color service and allows me to remove any hair that needs to go prior to the service to eliminate wasted product, time and money.

48-72 hours later, we will conduct your color service.

What types of payment do you accept?

For your convenience, I accept all major debit and credit cards through my secure payment processing system, as well as cash payments. In addition, I offer flexible Buy Now, Pay Later options (such as installment plans) to make investing in your hair care and beauty goals more manageable. These options allow you to book the services you want now and pay over time, making it easier to maintain your hair without compromising on quality.
