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.

Hair Color - Partial Foil - Haircut Blowdry

Partial foil with a toner and haircut blowdry.  I twisted the hair while I was drying it with a brush to give it an organic curl.

Base Color - Partial Foil - Haircut Blowdry

This was a base color to cover grey and then a partial foil with a haircut blowdry using Framesi Haircolor and Decolor B Bleach.






Hair Color Correction Before & After Pics

This teenage girl came in to see me because she had colored her own hair with bleach and it was pretty damaged.  I told her that to keep her hair in good condition I would only color it darker not add anymore bleach to her already over processed hair.  So I did a color with 5 volume and it turned out beautiful and her hair was in better condition than before using Framesi 2001 color line. 




Before & After Color

This client wanted to cover up her blonde but still have some dimension in her color so it wasn't just solid.  So I went in and did a random foil of different size sections on the outgrowth only, processed that and then went in with different toners to add dimension.  Beautiful.
