About Me

- kellymharmsen
- 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.

Color and Haircut
This is my client Eileen. She has beautiful hair. I did a base color using Redken Color Gels and pulled through Redken Shades on the rest. Then I cut her hair in an angled bob leaving it longer on one side in the front.

Another Three Dimentional Highlight and Angled Bob
For this client first I touched up her base color and then foiled her with three different colors. Then I cut her angled bob and then broke it up using the RUSK Alpha and Gamma Blades.

Angled Bob
Here is an angled bob that I cut. She has great hair. It's thick and straight. I used the RUSK Alpha, Gamma and Delta blades to cut and texturize it. Then I styled her hair with Jele Gloss and then finished her with Shining Spray which are both by RUSK too.
