In the Spotlight: Puppycatmeow

by Kerri on December 23, 2010

Tell us about yourself: I have been a hairstylist for 20 years and I am the mother of 2 wonderful children. When I worked in the salon I had 2 specialties. I was a color specialist and would give advanced training in color to new stylists when they would come to work in the salon. I also ended up being the up do stylist for weddings and formal occasions. A lot of stylists did not like doing up dos as much as I did so whenever someone wanted something special they would book me with the appointment. I loved going to weddings and doing everyone’s hair. I kept coming up with new styles just for fun. I ended up becoming a salon manager and went to night school to study business management with the hopes of owning my own salon someday.

What is your business mission? I want everyone to feel beautiful. I strive to give excellent customer service and make my customers happy!

Why did you start your business? When I became pregnant with my second child I had complications in my pregnancy and could no longer stand up for long periods of time. I had to leave the salon. I love doing hair so much I started brainstorming on ways I can sit down and still do what I love. I started playing around with loose hair and designed a few braids and headbands made of hair. A bad situation turned into a great one when I realized that people like my hair designs! Now I have the ability to be home with my children and still do hair. I decided to not go back to the salon and let my studio become my salon and the world be my customers!

Whats next? I am colaborating with a music artist to do hair for her next music video. I am not going to say who yet but when the video comes out you will know. Someday I hope to do fantasy hairstyles for the movie industry! New hairstyles are coming out all of the time. I am going to continue to dream up new pieces. I love taking requests and I get the most inspiration by my customers.

Is there anything else you would like to share? With my custom made hair pieces and extensions anyone can have an instant hairstyle so you will never experience a bad hair day again. It makes it really easy to get out the door every morning looking and feeling great without a lot of effort. It is like you have your own hairstylist in your home every day. I custom match the colors to your hair’s highlights and lowlights and make each piece specifically for you. You can request complimentary hair swatches or send me pictures of your hair and I will match it and send you out a style that will be easy to put in- and you can wear it over and over again!
