Meet the Stylists: The Artists Behind Kinsley + Mane in Alamo, CA

A salon is only as good as its stylists, and at Kinsley + Mane, we’re proud to have a team of passionate, talented artists dedicated to the craft of beautiful hair. Our stylists aren’t just employees; they are family. Get to know the women who make Kinsley + Mane the premier luxury salon in Alamo, CA. ### Ashley Pollard | Owner & Extension Specialist Ashley is the visionary owner of Kinsley + Mane and has been a leader in the hair industry for over 13 years. Her focus is on empowering women to look, feel, and be the best they can, and she believes that journey starts with the hair of their dreams. Recognizing that many women felt their hair goals were unattainable, Ashley dedicated years to mastering the art of luxury extensions. She specializes in Natural Beaded Row™ (NBR) extensions, using her expertise to give clients the show stopping hair they’ve always wanted. When she’s not transforming hair in the salon, you can find her spending time with her three little ones, working out, or curled up on the couch with a great book. ### Alicia | Stylist & Extension Specialist Alicia has been a key part of the Kinsley + Mane family for years, starting as Ashley’s assistant and quickly growing into a highly sought after stylist. With trends changing so often, Alicia keeps her skills sharp by constantly learning the latest techniques, always challenging herself to grow and serve her clients at the highest level. Whether you're looking for a full set of extensions, a custom balayage, or a precision haircut, Alicia is your go to girl. On her days off, she loves to binge watch true crime documentaries or head out on spontaneous day trips with her husband and new baby girl. ### Brooklyn | Stylist & Color Specialist Brooklyn brings a fresh, vibrant energy to the Kinsley + Mane team. As a stylist, she has a keen eye for color and a passion for creating looks that perfectly complement her clients' personalities and lifestyles. She is a master of balayage and lived in color, creating soft, natural looks that grow out beautifully. When you're in Brooklyn's chair, you'll not only leave with beautiful hair but also feel like you just spent an hour with a good friend. When she's not at the salon, she loves exploring new brunch spots in the Bay Area, spending time with her family, and snacking on all things sweet! **Ready to meet your perfect stylist?** [Book your appointment today](shopify://pages/contact) and let our team create a look you’ll love.
