Salon Kai was founded in 2018 by stylist, yogi, and wellness practitioner Kaila Shaw Addis. Deeply rooted in a passion for holistic beauty, Kaila is also a certified Reiki practitioner, a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, a homeschooling mother, and a certified yoga teacher. She truly lives and breathes wellness, embracing a conscious lifestyle centered around community and authentic connection. In her free time, Kaila enjoys gardening, baking, tending to her chickens, and spending meaningful time with her daughter, Saffron, and her husband, Tyler—a musician and fellow business owner in the hair industry.

 

When Kaila opened Salon Kai in 2018, her vision was to create a space where she could offer low-tox, mindful hair care services. She is proud to provide organic-based permanent hair color that delivers 100% gray coverage without compromising health-conscious standards. In late 2022, Kaila expanded the studio, growing her vision into a collaborative space with a talented team of seven stylists and two bridal specialists, offering both in-salon and on-location bridal services.

 

Today, Salon Kai is more than a salon—it is a sanctuary for connection, creativity, and community. Kaila is passionate about using the space to host inspiring women’s circles and ongoing education in hair artistry, fostering both personal and professional growth.

 

“At Salon Kai, our mission is to create a warm, welcoming, and intimate environment where each guest feels seen, understood, and genuinely cared for. We believe in building lasting, trust-filled relationships with our clients—where every visit feels like coming home. More than just a service, we offer an experience rooted in connection, leaving you feeling uplifted, confident, and beautifully aligned.“
