🫧Creator of Kintastic Luxury Products As she trained with elite names in her field, she quickly emerged as a leader in the Midwest area. She continued to expand her career experience, not only behind the chair, but with a variety of fashion shows, photoshoots, weddings, and educational events. Kindsay’s hard work and dedication paid off as she opened her own full service salon, Essence Salon, in 2019. With one major career milestone accomplished, it would soon be time for Kindsay’s next big goal; launching her own luxury product line. Essence provided the perfect location for education and training while the developmental stage began. Kindsay’s abilities as a hairstylist thrive on the science, techniques and creativity that go into producing healthy and beautiful hair looks. These important aspects were the foundation for creating a product line perfect for the modern world. Carefully selected ingredients were used to provide luxurious treatments with beneficial characteristics. After prioritizing what was essential for quality hair products, Kindsay oversaw each step of the creation for her signature line. Kintastic was designed by a stylist and is for everyone to use. The products are now available at Essence Salon and are being utilized by the team. Kindsay looks forward to future education, training and expansion as the brand continues to evolve. She’s very excited to introduce you to her products and can’t wait to see the great results it has on your hair! To book an appointment, please visit essencesaloniowa.com or call. As of now Kindsays waitlist is currently closed. Kindsay personally picked each of her teammate and trained them personally. She fully trust each of them to give you the best experience at her salon.

Wow… this month marks 7 years since we opened the doors to Essence Salon, and I honestly couldn’t be more proud.

Seven years ago, I had a dream of creating a space where like-minded artists could come together, continue growing, and make people in our community feel beautiful. Looking around today, I still have moments where I can’t believe this is what we’ve created.

Over the last year especially, this place has become something truly magical. The moment you walk through our doors, you’re welcomed. You’re cared for. You’re loved. That feeling is something I never wanted to lose, and today it’s stronger than ever.

Every day I’m reminded that this salon isn’t just about doing services. It’s about the relationships, the confidence we help build, the education we continue to chase, and the people who choose to grow alongside us.

You are the why we are here.

Here is the just a glimpse of how Essence became. 🥰 more to come this month.
