About me

Greetings! My name is Kelly Jo but most people call me KJ. I grew up a dancer and was playing with hair and makeup since I was a young child. I went through an ROP program in High School & started working in a salon at age 16. I've been blessed to have done hair all over the world. Whether that's been styling in local salons, barbering on the 7 seas in a cruise ship or a private hairdresser for upscale spas, salons and movie sets. My passion is for people & helping educate on how to be a better person. Anyone can do hair, but if you can love your community and desire to grow you can achieve success, contentment and connections for a life time.

Why I'm here

I am consistently looking for opportunities to educate and inspire. From high volume salons & stages to intimate settings with licensed or soon to be licensed stylist, I love it all. I've been educating since 2009 & managing for Cosmetology school systems since 2016. It's been a wonderful journey but hopeful to expand my passion and knowledge for both, others and myself. Lets change the world together.
