Hair by Clara Johnston

I know I’ve been out of the salon for a little bit, and I promise I’m working on coming back hopefully soon! In the meantime, this is what I’ve been working on! Thank you to all of you who still reach out, I’m looking forward to when I’m able to have you back in my chair!

Hi friends! 🤍
It’s time to introduce ourselves — we’re the faces behind Buckled In Belle Boutique!

I’m Clara and this is my husband Ethan — we’ve been married for 6 years and have two little ones 2 and under keeping us on our toes every single day 🫶🏼

We’re based in the KCMO area, and as busy parents always on the go, we truly understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing — whether you’re running errands, chasing littles, or getting out of the house for a quick date night.

That’s exactly why we created Buckled In Belle Boutique 🤍
We wanted to bring you pieces that are cute, easy to wear, and fit into real life — not just special occasions.

A few fun things about us:
✨ We love baking and cooking together
✨ We love going antiquing
✨ We’re big on family time and making memories
✨ We’re always up for trying something new and going on little adventures

A little extra about me — I’m a cosmetologist and a SAHM, so I’ve always loved anything beauty + style, and this boutique is truly a dream for me 🥹

🤍 Our goal for this boutique is that anyone can shop with us, so follow us and see what all we have coming this year!

We are SO excited to finally share this journey with you — and we officially launch in less than 2 weeks!! 🎉

Make sure you’re following along so you don’t miss out on our first drop 👀

🫶 Grateful for each and every one of you that come in to sit in my chair!

My gratitude list as a hairstylist:

• Grateful for the clients who trust us with their hair and their stories. That trust isn’t small.
• Grateful for hands that work all day and still create beauty with intention and care.
• Grateful for the science we’ve mastered—formulas, timing, tone, blending—so results look effortless.
• Grateful for the freedom this career gives us to be artists, therapists, and problem-solvers all in one day.
• Grateful for the relationships that turn into loyalty, laughter, and years in our chairs.
• Grateful for the growth—personally and professionally—that comes from long days and high standards.
• Grateful that even when our bodies are tired, our passion still shows up.
• Grateful that we get to make people feel confident, seen, and beautiful for a living.

I am grateful to be your hairstylist ✨

I have decided to start my maternity leave early to get extra time with my family 🩷 As we’re welcoming our sweet girl in a few weeks and soaking in all the baby snuggles, the girls at the salon will take great care of you! Feel free to message me with any questions/concerns! I’m looking forward to seeing all of you back in my chair in January! ✨

With summer lingering, UV and heat can stress your hair. ☀️ Add a leave-in treatment to protect your strands this month.

This sweet client came in wanting a big chop and to get as bright as she could. I told her not to expect to get very bright, then I over delivered 😍
