Hair by Tracy Michel @ Karma Salon, Bakersfield

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?

As a stylist at Karma Salon, with 10 years of experience, I offer a wide range of services such as color, highlights and lowlights, haircut and style services. As well as being master certified in 7 different hair extension techniques.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?

My inspiration to become a stylist began as a young teen. Beauty and fashion has always been a passion of mine and being blessed with the talent to create and express my creativity has driven me to be the artist I am today, and even better than I was yesterday. I love making my clients feel beautiful!

What do you love most about your job?

I love developing relationships with my clients. Being able to take a desired look and put it into action. Creating an art that leaves my clients feeling beautiful when they leave my chair is what drives me. Being able to express myself through my artistry and a happy client is what makes me love being a hairstylist in this industry.

What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

The best reaction I've ever received from a client is a text after leaving their appointment telling me how great of a job I did on their hair and are already receiving several compliments just hours after their service. Knowing they are extremely happy and are recommending you to others, is the greatest compliment a stylist can receive.
