Karissa Filbert

The experienceWhy guests choose Karissa

She's doesn't just do what SHE wants. She really listens and tries to understand what YOU want so she can deliver your dream hair. She always asks you to feel it, play with it and makes you feel safe to let her know if you don't like something or need an adjustment. Even if it's after the appointment.

I want them to feel heard and understood. And then beautiful and confident after. Happy with the results. Most of all I want them to be able to style thier hair and manage it themselves. I want the color and Cut to work for and with them.

AboutBehind the chair

I grew up in Colorado and followed a boy here to Naples then I eventually married and had a daughter with him. I am obsessed with our local beaches and can't get enough time there. Have loved hair since i was a child. And after a season at the front seat of rop I quickly enrolled myself into Cosmetology with the support of my amazing husband. Have been in Naples 16 years and doing hair for 14 now

Off the clockOutside the salon

I love our local beaches they are so beautiful, walking at sunrise is my favorite! Can't help but pick up shells. Love eating at local places with my daughter. I homeschool her so we get to explore and enjoy the area in the best ways.

The consultationWhat to expect

. Open the conversation “Tell me a little bit about your hair.” When was your last haircut? How do you feel about your hair overall? What do you like about it? What do you dislike about it? How do you typically style it? 2. Assess + engage Observe the hair (weight, shape, texture, condition) Share professional input: “This feels a little heavy here—are you noticing that too?” “How does this area lay when you style it?” Create a back-and-forth conversation to align on concerns 3. Length + goal setting How much are you comfortable taking off? Are you trying to grow your hair out? Do you like your current length? Thoughts on layers? (Do they want them / will their hair support them?) 4. Plan the service Based on their goals + your assessment, explain what you recommend Confirm the plan together before starting

I suggest quality products and possibly maintenance visits to extend color and Cut life...
