Welcome to Kaitlyn Jeanne Salon.
I just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself for those of you who are new to following me. I'm Katie, the creative artist behind Kaitlyn Jeanne Salon. My small business turned 10 this year, and I have been behind the chair for 14 years. I work Independently out of my salon in my home. I strive to provide each client with a fun – trendy – close-knit environment where they can relax, recharge and fe
Some people get lucky enough to have a sister.
I got a sister, a business partner, a next-door neighbor, and my best friend all in one. 💛
This video is Kelly in her purest form 😂
Making ridiculous faces.
Telling us not to get her double chin.
And somehow making everyone around her laugh.
But as funny as she is, she’s also the hardest working person I know.
She’s the person keeping things moving, making sure things get done, and holding all of us accountable when we’d rather not be. 😂
Mane Haven wouldn’t be what it is without her. That’s just a fact.
And neither would my life.
Who would have thought all those years ago we’d end up owning a salon together, raising our kids side by side, and living right next door to each other?
Happy Birthday, Seester. Thanks for always being someone I can count on through the chaos, the celebrations, the hard days, and everything in between.
We love you so much. 🥂✨
she came in not loving her hair…
and honestly, she hadn’t in a long time
today my goal was simple,
make her love it again 🤍
transformations like this are exactly why I love what I do behind the chair.

this is why your blonde appointment takes hours ⬇️⬇️⬇️
this was a full transformative lightening session
5 hours behind the chair ⏰ 2.5 hours just foiling
20 oz of lightener + 7 oz of toner
a lot of teasing + super fine, heavily saturated weaves… to get an even lift and avoid any warm banding, without compromising her hair
→ if you look at the foil placement, everything is intentional, what gets left out matters just as much as what gets lightened
i pulled foils one by one to refine any uneven lift
then finished with a root melt + gloss to bring it all together
this was one guest for my entire day
this is why going from brunette to blonde is a process, especially when it’s been a while between appointments (Guests last color : dec 2024)
⬆️⬆️
and this is why she can go so long between visits
this kind of blonding grows out so seamlessly
she’s usually only in my chair for color once a year
Happy 7th Birthday Kinsley 🤍
We celebrated her at Mane Haven ✨ on Sunday, and it was such a special day for all of us.
Kinsley has grown up in this space, she’s been a part of Mane Haven from the very beginning, so getting to celebrate her here with all her friends just meant so much 🥹
Hair, nails, custom patch bags, and the best time with her girls 💕
Soft, bright, perfectly blended blonde 🤍
You can see how the dimension still lives underneath while the brightness pops through the top + around her face… nothing flat, nothing over-toned just a seamless, lived-in finish ✨
This is the kind of blonde that grows out beautifully and still feels fresh weeks later 🙌
Formula breakdown ⬇️
Gloss: 10AI + 10GK + 7 vol
The mix of cool (blue/violet) + warm (gold/copper) tones is what creates that soft, balanced, expensive blonde 🤍

There’s nothing like a fresh start 🤍
If you’ve been thinking about the chop… this is your sign ✂️
We refreshed her with a blunt cut + light texturizing to remove weight / bulk + partial blonding session to brighten, blend, and completely erase that grown-out line.
This is what a true blonde transformation looks like 🤍
She came in with heavy grow-out, uneven warmth, and old lightener sitting on the ends, and wanted something brighter, softer, and much more blended.
We did a fully customized transformative balayage to break up that harsh grow-out, brighten while still keeping dimension, neutralize unwanted warmth, and create a seamless, lower-maintenance blend.
This is not a quick highlight, this is a transformative session that takes time, product, and strategy behind every section.
If your blonde feels heavy, brassy, or grown out… this is your sign 🤍

Extra Blonde + cool-toned lightener
Root tap: 7N + 7GV
Gloss: 10GV + 10N + 10V

Not all balayages are the same 🤍
This is what we consider a Transformative Balayage
a full blonding session designed to completely reset your color.
✔️ Significant outgrowth
✔️ Previous color to work through
✔️ Custom lightening + multiple toning formulas
✔️ A full transformation from start to finish
This type of appointment requires more time, product, and strategy to achieve a seamless, lived-in result ✨
If your hair looks more like the “before,” this is likely the service you need to book.
DM us to book a complimentary consultation. 🤍
The real flex isn’t being booked, it’s being booked by the people who’ve supported you through every season. 🥹🫶
I’ll never take that kind of loyalty for granted. If you’ve been in my chair for years… I love you extra. 🤍
