About Me

My photo
Bradenton, Florida, United States
My name is Kelly Harmsen and I've been a licensed Cosmetologist since 1991. Born and raised in Chicago Heights, Illinois now living in Bradenton, Florida and owner of my own hair & art salon. I started at eight years old working in my Dad's hair salon and loving it. While all of the other kids were reading Dr. Seuss I was readng Vidal Sassoon. After graduating from Beauty School I started assisting at a salon that offered additional education to further my career. I became heavily involved in RUSK after attending classes with my boss to watch them cut hair. I consider Irvine Rusk to be my biggest inspiration along with my Dad. I love what I do and if you come to visit me hopefully you will too. I specialize in cutting, corrective coloring, foiling and working with curly hair. I have very naturally curly hair myself and until you live with curly hair you don't understand it. I love helping someone to love their curly hair also.

Before & After Color

This sweet girl came with her friend who was getting her hair colored so she wasn't on my schedule to do her color.  She had been coloring her own hair at home and it was just too washed out.  I only had twenty minutes to color her hair so all I did was put a toner on it to even it out a little more.  I think it turned out great and she was very happy with it.

Before & After Color/Cut

This is a before and after highlight I did on Saturday.  She hadn't had her hair colored in over four months.  I thought her ends were too washed out but she liked the lightness of them so I did what I call a highlight/tone light.  What I did was put foils in between the highlights with a buttery warm blonde to offset the lighter pieces so she has a very natural blonde but still light like she liked it.  I loved the way it turned out and so did she.
