Name: Kelly Schulze City: Danbury CTSalon: Studio77 15 Backus Ave Danbury CT 06810
THREE WORDS TO DESCRIBE KELLY: Genuine, Quirky, Stubborn
Kelly loves what she does and loves the beauty industry. Kelly has been behind the chair for 25 years, but it hasn’t been until the last handful of years that she has acquired the confidence to not only develop as an artist but put herself out there with complete transparency. Kelly’s goal is to grow her platform so she can help others achieve their dreams and thrive. Education is crucial to Kelly – to be able to guide and support others who may feel overwhelmed or self-conscious about their place in this fast-paced, ever-changing environment is her top priority. Supporting other stylists, nurturing strengths while addressing weaknesses, and building confidence in others is something Kelly strives to contribute to the community. Kelly is a wife and stepmother to 4 exceptional children, so she spends most of her time with them outside the salon. Two of her stepchildren lost their mother at a young age, so Kelly’s foremost passion over the last few years has been creating a happy, stable environment in which they can not only heal but also thrive. A very far cry from who she was less than ten years ago, today Kelly focuses on becoming the best version of herself.
Favorite Hanzo Shear: HH8 Talon
I love all of my shears because they all serve a different function for me. I own the Talon (HH8) in two diffrent lengths, a Mamba (HHV-5.5) and two texture shears (HH14T and HH13T)
