Meet the Team


Kristen

Stylist & Permanent Makeup Artist

Hello there!

I'm the proud owner of Color Your Mane Salon, a boutique beauty destination in the heart of Olde Towne, Slidell. My journey in the beauty industry spans over a decade, but my fascination began much earlier—watching my mother's beauty rituals as a child planted the seeds for what would become my life's passion.

Color Your Mane was born from my desire to create something special: a sanctuary that feels both welcoming and luxurious, where every client experiences the pinnacle of beauty services in an atmosphere of warmth and indulgence.

My greatest joy behind the chair comes from three specialties: the art of blonding, the transformative power of hair extensions, and the precision of permanent makeup. As someone who wasn't blessed with natural blonde locks, I understand firsthand the journey toward achieving that perfect shade—the excitement, the patience required, and the maintenance involved. This personal experience enhances my approach to creating customized blonde transformations, from sun-kissed highlights to head-turning platinum, always prioritizing the health and integrity of your hair.

Hair extensions are another passion of mine, offering endless possibilities for length, volume, and that special touch of glamour. I take pride in creating seamless, natural-looking extensions that enhance your unique beauty while feeling completely comfortable.

My dedication to permanent makeup led me to train under one of the industry's most respected artists. I've traveled nationwide to perfect these techniques, understanding that when it comes to enhancing your features permanently, the artist's skill and aesthetic vision are paramount. This commitment to excellence ensures every client receives truly customized enhancements that complement their natural beauty.

From the moment you walk through our doors, your experience at Color Your Mane is my highest priority. Every detail—from your initial consultation to your stunning reveal—is crafted with meticulous care and genuine attention to your unique needs and desires.

I can't wait to welcome you to our salon family!

Nicole

Stylist

I’ve been a proud cosmetologist since 2004 and have specialized in color for many years. Hair color is truly my passion, and I’ve even had the opportunity to share that love as a color educator for an Italian color company.

After relocating from Denver, I’ve fallen in love with life here in Louisiana—especially the amazing community in Slidell. I also adore New Orleans for its incredible live music and vibrant culture.

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me spending time with my sweet doggies, who are the loves of my life.

I can’t wait to bring my experience, creativity, and passion for color to every client who sits in my chair!

Kaitlyn

Co-Stylist

Hi there! I'm Kaitlyn, and hair and makeup have been my passion for as long as I can remember. In 2020, I finally took the leap and turned this lifelong love into my career in cosmetology. After countless hours of practice and dedication, I earned my license in 2021 and started my professional journey at a salon in Southern California.

My heart eventually called me back to my Southern roots, and I couldn't be happier about it! After transferring my license to Louisiana, I found my home at Color Your Mane.

What drives me every day is seeing that smile when a client looks in the mirror and falls in love with their new look. Whether you're sitting in my chair for a trim, a complete color makeover, or special occasion styling, I pour my heart into making sure you leave feeling absolutely gorgeous.

When I'm not behind the chair, you'll probably find me curled up with a good book (I'm always open to recommendations!) or out on adventures with my sweet pup, Luna. She's a rescue with the most soulful eyes you've ever seen and the perfect cuddle buddy.

I can't wait to meet you, learn your hair story, and have you in my chair soon!
