KALEI KNIGHT | DESIGNER
Kalei has been a part of the E.a. Wells Hair Design Family since May 2021 after graduating from the Aveda Institute of Chapel Hill. She fell in love with the beauty industry at an early age as she played hair salon with her toys and friends. From there, she knew that she wanted to practice hair one day and explore her creativity.
Her favorite thing about the beauty industry is helping others feel good about themselves while accessing her creative side. Kalei loves all things blonding, balayage, extensions, and makeup! But she also loves the opportunity to craft the perfect haircut and blowout. When asked to describe her personality, she said she is outgoing, kind, and thoughtful. We couldn't agree more! For fun, you can find Kalei hanging out with her friends and family or running her own mobile boutique, Pink & Printed Boutique! SCHEDULE WITH KALEI > FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM > |
