Kyla is dedicated to helping people experience themselves in new ways, from head to soul. Whether she is behind the chair or in front of you, Kyla is committed to creating a space for people to heal and feel empowered. As a hairstylist with over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, she learned the importance of providing space for clients to feel comfortable, free to be themselves, and empowered.
