Kelly Rae cares deeply for the health and well being of her clients and of herself.
She first discovered her passion for hair color as a teenager.When her mother who previously owned twelve hair salons showed her how to highlight hair.
She began highlighting her own hair as well as her friends.
Soon her mother showed her how to apply make up as she was an AMAZING! artist who had a T.V. show on makeovers for hair and make-up.
Kelly Raes girlfriends would congregate at her house waiting in line for hair and make up before a party.
She had a passion for helping people look and feel more beautiful. She went to school and began her journey as a colorist shortly after that.
While working in a Boca Raton salon she discovered an alternative to petroleum oil based, high ammonia and toxic hair color. When the owner of the Bocca salon used A coconut oil based,organic herb,Italian hair color on Kelly Raes hair that was simply 'AMAZING'. That was it she was hooked!. Her hair was shinny and silky with the most beautiful color tones.
When she returned to Beverly Hills and became the colorist for a hip health conscious salon. Every one wanted Kelly Raes gorgeous, shiny, healthy hair. They were thrilled when after convincing the owner that no other color line even came close to achieving what clients were asking for she switched them over to her organic,Italian line. She eventually became an educator and color correction teacher. After advanced training classes she received her master colorist diploma from the Italian company.
After five years of living in L.A. it was time for her to return home to Marin county.
Eventualy she started a salon in Mill Valley and then in Sousalito. She recently returned to Sausalito after manny requests from clients.
She has recently discovered and added to her color lab another Italian color line which is vegetable based, with botanicals and (100% ammonia free) and is permanent as well as covers gray beautifully. Her clients love it!. They say their hair looks as though they were in their twenties.
Kelly Rae is dedicated to ongoing research combining nature and science together creating the highest quality products available. She would never consider using anything but the healthiest, least toxic and organic products available.
