KelliJ

The salon is owned by the founder, who also styles clients there personally and leads the wider Kelli J Beauty brand.

Appointments are private and one-on-one, and only a small number are booked, which keeps the setting intimate. The business describes its appointments as luxury, intimate and high-touch. Mobile appointments can be arranged instead of a visit to the salon. Booking requires a 50% deposit that is non-refundable, and cash is not accepted. The KJB Lux Monthly service allows one reschedule per month, and appointments must be booked within 24 hours of the reminder.

Beyond the chair, the brand sells beauty products and runs a coaching and education arm. The Freelance Academy offers a two-hour one-on-one coaching call by Zoom or phone, followed by a 30-minute follow-up session. It also has a foundational course on freelance career tracks for hair and makeup artists, and a course on working in TV, theatre and film that covers the steps to join IATSE/Local 798.

Each client is seen one-on-one, with limited appointments, and the business describes this as a luxury, high-touch experience.

An intimate, low-volume setting built around private appointments.
