I can be a bit of a homebody, but I love getting out to walk the Swamp Rabbit Trail and trying new restaurants around town. I try to balance work life and make sure I spend plenty of time with friends and family. I also like playing video games with my husband, snuggling with my cats, and paddle boarding in the summer.
Professionalism, but with lots of personality. I love a good conversation, but I’m super adaptable. If I sense you’d prefer a quiet, relaxing experience, I’ll make sure you have that. If you want a little entertainment, I’ve got a song and dance for you! Either way, you’ll have someone who is doing their best to really hear you, figure out what you want, and decide what’s going to be best for you.
In my first two years as a hairstylist, I worked at four different salons. Each one didn’t work out for different reasons, but they all helped me figure out what I didn’t want. As a new stylist, I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for, but those experiences showed me I needed a good environment, a positive culture with the other stylists, and opportunities for education and mentorship.
When I found the Kate Kandel Salon website, I was impressed. There were no typos, all the links worked, and it was beautifully designed - that alone set it apart from the other salons I’d worked at. During my interview with Kate and Michael, we really hit it off, and I could tell I’d be in good hands. I also wanted the best not only for myself but for my clients, and I knew immediately that Kate Kandel Salon would provide that.
I was right - it’s been amazing. There’s room for growth here, and you’re not stuck hitting a brick wall. If you just want to be a stylist, you can, but if you want more, like me, there are opportunities to challenge yourself. I’ve loved helping other stylists grow, and it’s been wonderful.
