K. Rae - A Paul Mitchell Focus Salon in Rockford, IL

I felt so special, like I've known her forever. My first time at K RAE, she took her time, never rushed, love my hair cut and low lights. I recently lost my husband and needed a kind, compassionate person and she certainly filled my need. A genuine sweet lady!

Kavena is a master at color and highlights! She is very honest about what she can do to your hair. You tell her what you are looking for and she may say it will take a couple of visits to get it where you want it to be. Like Platinum. I appreciate her honesty. She is very attentive and doesn't rush you out. She is very professional and has wonderful products you can purchase for your specific hair needs. I like the fact that she has her own studio - it's quiet, you can enjoy a conversation with her, and you have her undivided attention without distraction. I get so many compliments on my highlights and haircuts. I'm always proud to give out her business card. I know she can fix just about anything! A true professional!

Took a chance on Kavena after salons started reopening in June. I am so glad I came across her Yelp page because she is hands-down the most attentive, professional, helpful, and kind stylist I've had (and I've had a lot). Kavena asked me about my vision for my hair and offered useful tips on how to wash and style my fine hair type and my asymmetrical pixie cut. I loved it and felt human again! A few days after I played around with my hairstyle a little more, I wanted certain parts to be trimmed a little more. Kavena had a super busy schedule, but still fit me in a few days later at the end of the day (for which I am very grateful). I felt bad for taking up her extra time and tried to rush through the appointment, but Kavena was warm and asked questions and checked in with me to ensure she was addressing the concerns that I had. I left the salon smiling so big and told Kavena that she was a magician. I highly recommend K-Rae not only for her talent with hair but for her excellent customer service!!

We loved it!! The people are super sweet and did a fantastic job on my sons hair! I drove a couple hours to get there and we were so so grateful for the haircut!!!

Kavena is incredible! She's very professional, personable, easy to talk to, and incredible at what she does. I've known her for years and in that time I've known hair to be her passion and it shows. My hair has never looked better than it does today. She took a bowl cut disaster and turned it into something very stylish.
