Love & Hair by Kelsey Smart in Cedar Rapids, IA

My son has long hair and was looking for someone to help him with a style.  Kelsey was able to offer him some advice on styles, thin the front so it would stay out of his eyes, and give him some suggestions for handling his curls. He really enjoyed his appointment and is looking forward to going back in 3 months when his hair has grown a bit more and is ready for some of the styles they discussed.

My wife and daughter have been going to Kelsey for years and she does a super job so I thought I would have her cut my hair too. I was impressed with the amount of time she took looking over my hair and asking lots of questions before even starting. My hair get's pretty shaggy and I loved how she thinned it so it lies better. I've been combing the same way for decades and she styled it a new way that made me feel younger. Kelsey is a Cedar Rapids native with several years experience specializing in cut and color in New York City. We are very fortunate to have someone with her level of skill right here in the NewBo district. I suggest you book her now before the word gets out and her client list fills up!

Kelsey is the SMARTest stylist this side of the Mississippi! JK. But for real though, she can cut, color, curl, keratin, and create masterpieces with even the wimpiest, limpest and wispiest of follicles. 10 out of 10, run do not walk, hat season is ending before you know it.

Kelsey is a fantastic color and wedding specialist! I don't get to see her much but when I do my hair is always amazing. I am so excited to have her style me up for my wedding in may.

Kelsey is an absolute master at her craft and the most incredible human being. I'm extremely protective of my hair and don't let just anybody work on it and she has been my Person for the past 8 years or so. Sitting back in Kelsey's salon chair while she does her thing and we just chat about whatever is basically one of my favorite activities. There isn't an appointment that I've walked out of where I didn't feel like the best version of myself and I am always receiving complements about how awesome my hair looks. Kelsey's color skills are so on point that even through a pandemic induced 3 month lock-down when I had to miss 2 appointments, my hair looked absolutely fine and I only texted her once in a panic about my roots, which were hardly visible. Her NYC client base all miss her dearly.  

Kelsey is the perfect person to take you on your hair journey, whatever that may entail. She's a consummate professional that knows what you need, even when you don't, and can guide you there in the friendliest and most gentle way possible. She can translate what you think you want from a picture or something you describe into reality, all while making sure you can actually maintain the look on your own so you get the most out of your cut and/or color.
