The VIP

With advanced knowledge in color, cutting, lash extensions, micro and nano blading, and keratin hair extensions I create a low maintenance routine for the well maintained Individual. Through continuing education I’m constantly upgrading my knowledge and techniques on all things hair and beauty to make sure you get the latest and greatest of everything I can offer.

Obsessed with Details

It’s all about the details for me. I’m a stylist who is obsessed with the details in EVERYTHING! Your experience with me is always one on one. I prefer to give all my guests my undivided attention so all of your hair and beauty needs can be addressed to the best of my abilities, and without interruption.

About Me

The Boss

Hi there! I’m Karal. I‘ve been in the beauty biz since 1998 and it’s still the love of my life. I’ve served the Boulder/Denver/Longmont area since 2009. I love to stay up on the latest and greatest trends and techniques and keep myself educated on what the industry has to offer. But I don’t jump on every bandwagon that comes up, I’m very selective in making sure things are right for myself and my clientele, and then I practice and perfect new things before I bring them to my guests. It’s important to me to have a partnership with every client. I feel it’s necessary for people to understand what services and products we’re choosing to use and why, and also what limitations we may be up against. I also feel its empowering to educate people on how to manage their own maintenance routine and recreate the same fabulous look on their own. It’s so much more than pushing a product in your hand and sending you on your way. I find that once you break down the “WHY” of things the information just clicks.

About The Studio

Experiential Beauty

Smoke and Mirrors is a home studio with a serene, quiet atmosphere. Sit by one of two fireplaces in the winter while your color processes. Immerse yourself in the dozens of fragrant rose bushes, lilies, and hydrangeas in the private gardens while gazing at Long’s Peak from the flagstone patios or stay cooler under the covered porch in the warmer months. You can always expect to see and hear our tiny feathered friends, and if you‘re lucky you’ll catch a Bald Eagle or a Great Horned Owl checking in on us (yes, even in the daytime). Two story windows flood the entire open floor plan with light, so there’s no need to worry about being stuck in the dark just because this is a home hair studio. In fact, you’ll experience all of your shampoo, scalp massage, and quick toning color services at the shampoo bowl that looks out through expansive picture windows over the flagstone patio to the sunny back flower garden and covered patio.
