Meet the Team
Kristen
Stylist & Permanent Makeup Artist
Hello there!
I am the owner of Color Your Mane Salon, nestled in the charming Olde Towne, Slidell. With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, my fascination with the beauty world started at a young age, observing my mother’s beauty routines. Little did I know, this early curiosity would pave the way for my career today.
I created Color Your Mane Salon with the vision of crafting a welcoming and luxurious haven, where you can bask in pampering bliss and experience an elevated level of service.
Behind the chair, my unwavering passion lies in the art of blonding, hair extensions, and permanent makeup, where I channel my expertise to create breathtaking transformations. As a specialist in blonding and extensions, I understand the journey of going lighter firsthand, as I'm not a natural blonde myself.
I am dedicated to providing exceptional service and understanding the unique stages of achieving the perfect blonde shade. From subtle highlights to stunning platinum hues, I have the expertise and knowledge to create your ideal blonde look while maintaining the health and integrity of your hair.
In addition to blonding, I am passionate about hair extensions, which can add length, volume, and that extra touch of glamour to your tresses. With my expertise, you can trust that your extensions will blend seamlessly and enhance your natural beauty.
Having trained under the industry's most esteemed permanent makeup artist and embarking on nationwide journeys of learning, I wholeheartedly comprehend the significance of entrusting an artist and their exceptional skill set when it comes to customizing services to enhance your unique features.
I believe that every client deserves an outstanding salon experience. From the moment you step into Color Your Mane, you will receive personalized attention, meticulous care, and a warm and inviting atmosphere. Your satisfaction and comfort are my top priorities.
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!
