Kyleen has been doing hair professionally since 2008. Growing up she was drawn to hair, often practicing on family and friends. Athletics, however, took her to college instead of cosmetology school. After graduating and working in corporate settings, Kyleen realized her heart was in a different place and enrolled in cosmetology school. She has found her passion and soared on her journey in the beauty industry. Becoming a salon owner allowed Kyleen to take charge of her future, both personally and professionally, and the freedom to continue fostering her creativity. She has landed where she belongs, visible to anyone who sits in her chair. Kyleen has been working as a stylist in Waters Building for 12 years and is certified in Pulp Riot color and Hotheads extensions.

After beginning her journey as a professional hairstylist in 2014, Brooke spent the first 5 years of her career in Jackson, Wyoming before moving back to Grand Rapids in December of 2019. Much of her time living in the beautiful mountain west was spent finding her niche and honing her craft, leading her to specialize in low-maintenance, lived-in color as well as curly or textured and short/precision haircuts. Transitioning back to Grand Rapids in the midst of a global pandemic proved to be quite a challenge but she is excited to see where this next leg of her journey takes her. Although there are many wonderful things about this field, Brooke would say that what she loves most is the opportunity to connect with and invest in all of the incredible people who sit in her chair. Her love for learning about and experiencing other people and their cultures has led her to many travels throughout North America, South America and Europe, as well as becoming fluent in Spanish and American Sign Language.
Specialties: highlighting/lived-in color, wedding and event styles/updos, and men's barbering.
Behind the scenes: fluent in American Sign Language, barista, dog mom, world traveler.
