PSA for my clients: I will never give you grief for not wanting to drive in garbage weather. Your safety & comfort is my priority. If you are unable to make your appointment in these winter months all I ask is that you communicate with me about it. There may be days where I too am not comfortable with driving and I will only ask for that same patience with me. You can always message me on Facebook or if you have my personal phone number you can definitely text me there too.

Please stay safe out there, these roads are cruddy.

I'm so so grateful for every single one of you who have supported me, particularily this past year! 🤗 I'm going to be able to take a few days off this year to spend with my loved ones for Thanksgiving but I don't want you to miss out on a gift certificate special I'd like to offer. From November 20-26th you can either stop into Salon Bravado or click https://www.vagaro.com/salonbravado1 to purchase a gift certificate special. For every $50 you spend you'll recieve an extra $10 towards services. That being said, I will be out of the shop Thursday through Saturday so those days you'll want to purchase on our app.

*this offer is just for me, this will not pertain to my partners
**gift certificates with this special can be used from January 1st-December 31st 2023
***the gift certificate will say $50 but I will have the actual total with the extra $10 in my records

It's that time of the year where I get to show off the many stages of my loc journey. Today marks 6 years! In the past year I removed all extensions I had from other people and now am 100% all Kate. Swipe to see each year of growth of healthy, product free long locs.

Wanna start your own journey? I'm your gal. ✌️

Here's a little before and after action of some loc maintenance I did recently. Sometimes weak spots can occur but with a little TLC I can mend those for you.

There are several methods to locking hair, it all depends on the hair texture & desired look. For my friend here we have moved on to interlocking his and as you can see he was definitly in need of a fresh cut & tidy up. He's looking crisp now 👌

Salon Bravado In Waterloo IA | Vagaro Welcome to Salon Bravado! A community of women who love what they do!

Swipe to see this transformation I got to do on this young man over the last week. He has a MASSIVE amount of hair and was ready to start his loc journey. Mixed hair is a whole different beast! His curl pattern isn't tight enough to loc with twists so we crocheted his hair. I cannot wait to see how these mature over time! This took two 4 hour sessions to complete and was finished off with a little loc gel palm roll from my favorite loc product company

Oohweeeee I love me a good before & after hair transformation! I got to take to her new fall look after cutting 8 inches off her super thick hair and I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out.

Just a friendly reminder of our cancellation policy at Salon Bravado. I totally understand that sometimes life happens, in fact sometimes I may have a family emergency or am ill and will also need to reschedule appointments. That being said, I unfortunately need to remind everyone that just blowing off an appointment is not cool. And last minute cancellations make it really hard to fill a time slot. And if no one is sitting in our chair we are not making money to pay our bills. So please be couteous and remember we had to put this policy in place to protect our income and our livelihood.

More of this please! I got to braid these gorgeous synths in .ashley0201 hair the other day. I freaking adore this look!
*please note I did not make these, I only installed them*

I finally got to get my hands in my soul sista's hair again! I did a babylight around her hairline for a lovely halo look and a partial balayage just to brighten my babe back up.

I'm now selling some Aiir products at the shop. I've got flexible hold hairspray, texture spray, dry texture mousse & shine spray. These products are cruelty free, vegan and paraben free and have responsibly sourced holistic ingredients. And did I mention they smell like heaven?! Stop in right away to get yours 🤍

I'm running away for the week so I won't be answering any business related calls, messages, snaps or texts until the 31st. Dry heat and poolside drinks are calling my name! ✌️

Today I got to touch up with a fresh balayage & tone. This blonde though... 🤤

There's nothing I love more than when posts like this happen! A shout out from such a BABE is the best form of flattery for this barber. Check out rocking a cut & color I did on her recently 🧡🧡🧡

Today I got to take from a mostly blonde to this multidimensional brunette balayage. Man, I wish I had taken a before picture so y'all could see how beautiful this transformation really was.

Hey folks! I will be out of the salon July 24-30th for vacation. I've still got some openings left before then but they will fill up fast so let's get you in the books now. I am even willing to open my schedule up a bit more on my typical days off just so I can accommodate your needs. So if you don't see an opening available just DM me and we'll see if we can work you in somewhere else.

I was so stoked to get to do these extensions! They are braided in like double ended synthetic locs but you get all this bouncy texture. Can you believe her natural hair just hits the top of her shoulders? I just LOVE how they turned out!
