Color for the modern day woman

Meet Kellyn

Welcome! I'm Kellyn, a holistic hairstylist, hair color expert, scalp care specialist, reiki practitioner, and astrologer with 18 years of experience in the beauty industry. My passion lies in cultivating healthy hair and scalps through my signature balayage technique, creating natural, dimensional tones, and providing customized scalp facials for a head spa experience that nourishes your hair from the ground up.

As a Wella Master Color Expert, an American Board Certified Haircolorist, and a national hair color and balayage educator, I take pride in working with you on color corrections and big transformations. Embracing holistic practices, clean products, and specialized scalp care, I'm dedicated to nurturing a loving relationship between you and your hair.

Currently delving into trichology studies, I focus on custom scalp facial services, addressing issues such as dandruff, inflammation, bacteria, hair thinning, and hair loss conditions.

Education is my cornerstone, and I have numerous certifications and extensive training under my belt. I’m always happily accepting new clients and can’t wait to bring your dream hair to life. Welcome to my chair!

Meet Ashley

With 12 years of experience and a passion for creating natural, lived-in color, Ashley is one of the co-creators of August Collective. An Aveda graduate, she spent 6 years working in Aveda salons before opening her first studio, Paint Salon, in SLC, Utah. Her expertise lies in enhancing your natural hair color, creating effortless, beautiful looks that grow out seamlessly.

Ashley is dedicated to continuous education, regularly attending classes to stay on top of the latest trends and techniques. She’s also a big advocate for natural-based products and essential oils, ensuring that your hair is treated with care.

When she’s not behind the chair, you’ll find Ashley in the Colorado mountains with her husband, Nathan, and their pups, Goose & Maverick, soaking up the beauty of the great outdoors.

  • Kellyn always listens and provides suggestions of what will work best

    Kellyn is wonderful! I’m picky about my brunette hair and often go back and forth with what I want, and Kellyn always listens and provides suggestions of what will work best. I always trust getting my hair done and would definitely recommend Kellyn.

  • she is a magician with hair!

    I’ve been going to Ashley for 2 years now and she is a magician with hair. Im brunette and go monthly due to grays and she always makes the roots blend and makes my hair look natural. She’s the best colorist I’ve ever been to.

    -Heather G.

  • Never going anywhere else for my hair!

    I found Kellyn through a blonde friend’s recommendation, and she is well worth the hour drive from my part of town. She has an incredible eye and attention to detail. She is a perfectionist and master of her trade, which I love and appreciate. I have fragile, fine, and blonde hair, so I know my hair is a challenge that she knocks out of the park every time I see her which is about every 4 months. She uses foils instead of balayage which we determined was better with my skin tone and grow out. The last time I arrived to see her for my custom color, another client even asked if I just got my hair done. The color grows out seamlessly and looks so natural! The experience while you’re here is full of pampering, snacks, and drinks, which is a nice and elevated touch. Never going anywhere else for my hair!

  • 10/10 Kellyn is amazing!

    10/10 Kellyn is AMAZING. She knows every chemical reaction in and out and can get you precisely what you're looking for, without being unrealistic about what will actually work for you. I spent 5 hours with her going from brunette to a gorgeous natural blonde. It's the best color I've ever had.
