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!
Olivia
Stylist
Hey Gorgeous, I’m Olivia! I am a born and raised southern Louisiana girl and I am now proudly serving the Slidell, LA community.
As a kid, I was always known to be the one with the unruly and crazy hair that my parents or siblings didn’t know how to care for or style. Knowing how much of an affect hair can have on your confidence as a person I never want someone to feel the way I had growing up. It is a goal of mine to have every client that sits in my chair leaving confident and knowledgeable in THEIR own hair.
I been a stylist for almost 5 years and as I grow and learn and am only falling more in love with my craft. I specialize in precision cuts and precision color services. I pride myself in that I am always taking educational classes to stay up to date with the times and broadening my ability to do new techniques.
As a stylist I see my job as more of a collaborative experience. I work with you and educate you so we are able to come up with a hair care plan that leaves you knowing your hair has a goal end result. Which means you can relax and leave all the stressing and worrying to me.
When I am not in the salon creating beautiful hair, you can find me at the local restaurants trying out the appetizers and drinks. You can almost call me a professional food critic at this point. But you can bet that I can give you all the tips and trick to keeping your hair looking flawless through your nights out on the town!
Kacie
Stylist
Hey there!
I am Kacie Perbes, aka Kvtrill. I have been thriving behind the chair in New Orleans and its surrounding areas for 10 years now.
The majority of my time has been dedicated to perfecting my ability to cut hair in a variety of styles. From precise, textured bobs to lengthy, layered haircuts with prominent facial framing.
With the knowledge that I have gained throughout my career, I have embraced my passion for precision men’s cutting, which includes bald fades, scissor-over-comb techniques, and scissor cuts. This niche has given me a sense of purpose in the beauty industry, and seeing as 70% of my returning guests receive men's cuts, my purpose does not go unnoticed.
Along with cutting, I have also had extensive training in color formulation and blonding. Right out of beauty school, I embarked on an 8-week training journey for Paris Parker Salons. Along with my expertise, I have admittedly honed both patience and consistency—two qualities that are essential to achieving gorgeous tones and healthy blonding. My color formulation ensures that you will leave with a look tailored to your lifestyle and personality, making it a one-of-a kind experience.
I have a true passion for music and art, so in my spare time, you can find me DJ’ing, painting, or designing digital content for my online boutique “The Thrift Chop”. I genuinely enjoy exploring my creative potential, and ‘fun color’ excites my imagination. I specialize in bright, vivid colors, and I love using hair as a blank canvas. Blending different colors gives myself and my guests complete satisfaction. I am very meticulous with my work to ensure the longevity and beauty of this limitless trend. My very own hair has been every shade of the rainbow during my time in the industry.
In my personal life, I am a free spirit, and I tend to let that shine through my work. I strive to create a comfortable environment for each guest, and I love to have a good time behind the chair. It’s more than just a job for me; in some sense, it’s therapy. In the salon, we are able to build long-lasting, meaningful relationships and friendships with the plus side of having amazing hair!
Macy
Stylist
Hey beautiful! My name is Macy, and I’m a second-generation hairstylist. I grew up immersed in the beauty industry, watching and helping my mom create stunning transformations on her guests. During my high school years, I lived in Southern California and Oregon. During that time, my mom traveled back home for work. Seeing her passion for her craft and the relationships she fostered with the guests she had, only made my love for the industry grow. After graduating, I moved back home and began my own journey in the hair industry, turning my lifelong passion into a career.
Now, I’m living my dream as a hairstylist, with blonding and extensions being some of my favorite things to do. I am constantly furthering my education to bring the best skills and techniques to my clients, ensuring they leave my chair feeling their absolute best.
When I’m not behind the chair, I enjoy spending time doing home projects with my husband and our American Pocket Bully, Bruiser. I love making my clients feel beautiful and confident, and I’m so grateful to do what I love every day! I can’t wait to see you 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!
