Karla Kiara Hair

Sometimes you have to look back to realise how far you’ve actually come. 🤎

There was a time when I had no job, no home of my own, a baby on the way and no idea what life was going to look like.

I didn’t have a perfect plan. I just knew I wanted more for myself and my daughter.

So I started small, invested in myself, changed direction when I needed to and kept going.

Now I’ve built a business I love, a career that works around being a mum, and a life I’m incredibly proud of.

A reminder to any woman starting again: your current chapter is not your whole story. ✨

BLONDES… you don’t need to go BLONDER. You need more DIMENSION. 🤎✨

Let’s take your blonde to another level.

Think:
✨ brighter face frame
🤎 soft ribbons of depth
🥛 creamy, expensive-looking tones
☁️ lived-in roots
✨ maximum impact without maximum maintenance

Milk Tea Blend meets Teddy Bear Bronde 🧸🥛

Soft, glossy, dimensional and designed to actually complement your skin tone… rather than leaving you feeling overly yellow or washed out.

Because sometimes adding a little depth actually makes your blonde look brighter.

The goal?
That effortless, natural, expensive blonde that still looks gorgeous weeks later. 🤌🏼

Another month, another finalist… 😂✨

I’m honestly so proud to say that Karla Kiara Hair is a finalist at the UK Beauty Awards 2026 in TWO categories:

💗 Hair Entrepreneur of the Year
💗 Most Talented Colourist

At this point I’m starting to think my personality is just hair, caffeine, admin, overthinking and accidentally collecting finalist places 😂

To be recognised for both my colour work and the business I’ve built from scratch makes me incredibly proud.

Every client who books, recommends me, shares my work, trusts me with their hair and supports my business has played a part in this. I appreciate it more than you know. 🤎

Another month, another finalist… and I’m definitely not complaining. 😂

If your hair is currently giving “I don’t even know what colour I am anymore”… this one’s for you. 👀☕️

My client came in with faded warm brown, unwanted brassiness, visible banding and grey regrowth, so this wasn’t just a highlight appointment. This was a full colour rescue.

We used a full head of teasy lights to break through the old colour, soften those harsh bands and bring back expensive looking dimension, then added a fresh root colour to create a smoother, more seamless base.

And the final gloss? Tiramisu glaze. 🤎✨
Creamy. Neutral. Glossy. Softly dimensional. Basically autumn hair without turning everything copper or gingerbread.

The goal wasn’t to make her “blonde”.
It was to make the whole colour look intentional again.

If your hair is patchy, brassy, too warm, heavily grown out or just needs SAVING before autumn… consider this your sign. 🍂

🍂 DERBY & NOTTINGHAM LADIES… is your hair ready for its autumn era? 🤎

If you fancy a change but don’t want anything too bold, this might be your sign.

For this transformation we created the dreamiest autumn blend using rich copper, glossy brunette lowlights and a soft blonde face frame for that little pop of brightness around the face ✨

Think gingerbread latte meets pumpkin spice, with just enough warmth to make the colour feel seasonal, expensive and completely wearable.

Perfect if you want:
• more depth and dimension
• warmer, richer tones
• something different without going too dramatic
• a colour that still feels soft, feminine and low-maintenance

Basically… autumn leaves, but make it hair 🍁☕️

If you’re in Derby, Nottingham or the surrounding areas and you’ve been thinking about switching things up for autumn, this is your sign.

Would you go copper for autumn, or are you staying brunette/blonde? 👀

🚨 WARNING: this transformation may cause sudden cravings for a hair appointment… and tiramisu. 🤎🍰

Today’s transformation on super-thick hair was all about LIGHTNESS, but without losing that soft, expensive, lived-in finish.

Think Crème Brûlée Blonde meets Vanilla Tiramisu ✨

We created:
🤎 A delicate Caramel Cream face frame for just enough brightness
🤎 A full head of soft teasylights to break through all that gorgeous thickness
🤎 A melted Espresso Truffle root shadow so there are no harsh grow-out lines
🤎 Glossy Vanilla Custard ends for that creamy, silky finish

The result? Brighter. Softer. Creamier. Expensive-looking.

And most importantly… low maintenance. Because beautiful hair is lovely, but nobody wants to feel like they need their roots doing every five minutes. 😂

If your hair is feeling heavy, dark or a little meh, this is your sign to add lightness without going full Barbie blonde.

STOP SCROLLING IF YOUR HAIR IS STILL STUCK IN SUMMER 🍂

Goodbye summer blonde, hello autumn. 🤎

Think caramel drizzle, toasted biscuit, soft toffee and creamy latte tones. If you’ve been thinking about trying something new, now is the time. Go brighter, bolder, darker, deeper or warmer. Just switch it up.

For this gorgeous transformation, we lightened the roots ever so slightly while keeping everything super soft, seamless and blended. Nothing too blonde, just the perfect amount of brightness, depth and dimension.

And in this light… look at those caramelised tones. 🍪

If your hair is feeling a little faded after summer and you fancy a change, drop me a message and let’s create your perfect autumn hair.
