I'm Kaylie LaFoy! Wife, homeschool mama to three boys, chicken mama to eight feathered ladies, follower of Jesus, and hairstylist who's been blessed to serve North Texas since 2011!
I operate my own cozy, private, in-home salon in Melissa, Texas, where good hair, genuine conversation, and a whole lot of personality come together. And when I'm not behind the chair, you'll probably find me homeschooling my boys, tending to my eight backyard chickens, or finding some new adventure to get myself into!
My love for doing hair started long before I ever held a cosmetology license. I grew up in Sherman, Texas, and from a young age, I knew I had a knack for making people feel beautiful. I began working in the beauty industry as a salon receptionist in 2004, eventually working with Armstrong McCall Professional Beauty Supply before attending Diamonds Cosmetology College in Sherman in 2010.
Eleven months, 1,500 hours, and a whole lot of determination later, I became a licensed cosmetologist!
Over the years, I've experienced so many sides of this industry, from full-service salons and quick-service environments to recruiting and education. Every experience has helped shape the stylist I am today.
But the most meaningful transformation in my life didn't happen behind the chair. It happened in my heart.
After walking through some difficult seasons, I found my way back to Jesus Christ. And in returning to Him, I've begun to see my life, my work, and the gifts He's given me through an entirely different lens.
For years, I thought my calling was simply to do hair. Now I understand that doing hair is one of the ways I get to love and serve people.
And y'all, that realization has changed everything.
One of the greatest joys in this new season of my life has been dedicating my Saturdays to volunteering with Streetside Showers, providing free haircuts to individuals experiencing homelessness.
There's something incredibly humbling about sitting with someone, hearing their story, sharing a laugh, and reminding them through a simple act of service that they are seen, valued, and loved.
Jesus reminds us in Matthew 25:40 (ESV):
“Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.”
That scripture has taken on an entirely new meaning in my life. Serving others isn't just something I do in my spare time. It's an opportunity to serve Christ Himself through the people He places in front of me.
And that's what I want Hair by Kaylie LaFoy to represent.
Not perfection. Not vanity. Not just beautiful hair.
Connection. Compassion. Dignity. Joy. And loving people right where they are.
My little in-home salon is an extension of that same heart. I want every person who sits in my chair to feel comfortable, cared for, respected, and completely welcome. You don't have to look a certain way, believe what I believe, or have it all together.
Just come as you are, y'all.
I'll take care of your hair, and hopefully you'll leave feeling a little more loved than when you walked in.
I'm so grateful that God has given me the opportunity to do what I love, raise and teach my boys, care for my little flock of eight feathered troublemakers, and serve my community while continuing to grow into the woman He's called me to be.
Beauty with Purpose. Rooted in faith. Created with care.
I can't wait to see y'all!
XOXO,Kaylie ♡
