Hair, color, extensions, wigs, lashes and spa - everything our Brighton, Michigan studio gets asked, in one place.
General
Our salon has a diverse clientele of all ages and genders. Our salon and spa are designed to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome!
On average, 100 to 200 hairs are shed daily. If you are concerned, learn more about our Clinical Trichology services.
Using a smoothing cream will cut down on unwanted frizz, which smooths and protects the hair. Also, talk to your stylist about more permanent solutions like our Pure Brazilian and Brazilian Blowout Treatments.
Gel gives you a wet look that is fixed, or set, which needs to be combed out or shampooed to change the style. Styling clay or pastes can be manipulated throughout the day to change or revive the style.
In most cases, store-bought shampoos can be high in sulfates which strip the hair of natural oils, leaving it dry and dull. These products may also leave a waxy residue on the hair which builds up over time, creating a dull finish.
Your hair most likely has a heavy mineral buildup, which can be removed by a Malibu Treatment or a Surface Purify Treatment performed by your hairstylist.
Yes. We offer private, personalized consultations to ensure the best match for style, color, fit, and comfort.
We begin with a thorough assessment of your hair loss, select a custom solution, color and cut the piece, and professionally fit the system for a natural appearance. We stand behind our work and welcome follow-up visits to ensure your solution continues to look and feel its best.
Yes. Scalp spa treatments help nourish follicles, stimulate circulation, and improve overall scalp health.
Absolutely. We offer solutions for medical hair loss, including chemotherapy-related hair loss and Alopecia Areata. Owner Kristan Sayers is a Cranial Prosthesis Specialist and can accept prescriptions and assist with insurance-related needs.
Trichology is the science of hair and scalp health. It focuses on identifying and addressing hair loss, thinning, excessive shedding, and scalp conditions.
Yes. We provide customized treatment plans for hair thinning, scalp irritation, and other common concerns. Our goal is to educate you and help restore your hair and scalp health.
You can schedule a trichology consultation online or by calling the salon.
Most clients find microblading very tolerable and describe the feeling as light scratching rather than real pain. Nada works gently and checks in with you throughout.
Yes. Touch-ups are typically recommended 6–8 weeks after the initial session.
Yes. We offer one signature package - The K Bella Bridal Experience - along with a la carte services for brides, wedding parties, and grooms. Every wedding is custom-quoted during your consultation to match your timeline, party size, and location.
Yes. Our team is available for on-location hair and makeup services.
We recommend booking 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability for your wedding date.
Every plan is personal. For most clients it centers on the right professional products and topicals, and may also include scalp revitalization with growth factors and exosomes, and light therapy, when they are a good fit. Light therapy is painless and non-invasive, and a great choice for the right candidate.
Clinically certified trichology, personalized regrowth plans (products, topicals, scalp revitalization, and light therapy), scalp spa experiences, and non-surgical hair replacement (wigs and toppers), all in private settings.
Hair
How often should I get a haircut for healthy hair?
Less often than you might expect. Blending is our stylists' signature: every layer is cut into the one above it, so your shape grows out evenly instead of dropping into a hard line, and clients tell us their hair never looks like it needs a haircut. Most guests come in every 8 to 12 weeks to refresh their shape and ends, while short and clipper cuts stay sharpest closer to every 4 to 6 weeks. If you are growing your hair out, we will plan your visits to protect your ends without costing you length.
Haircuts
We offer precision cuts, layered styles, trims, and fully customized haircuts for all ages and hair types. If you can envision it, our stylists can bring it to life.
Absolutely. Reference photos are encouraged, as they help your stylist understand your vision, allowing you to collaborate on a look that suits you best.
Yes. Our stylists are trained to cut and shape curly, wavy, and textured hair. We specialize in cutting hair in its natural state for clients who do not straighten their hair, using dry cutting techniques. For clients who wear multiple styles, we can cut wet or dry depending on the desired result.
Hair Color and Balayage
We offer everything from blonding and dimensional color to highlights, balayage, foliage, vivid colors, prisms, rainbows, full color, root touch-ups, and fully customized color designs.
Your stylist will consult with you to select shades that complement your complexion, lifestyle, and maintenance preferences.
Color services typically take 1-4 hours, depending on the technique and complexity of the service.
Yes. We specialize in all modern coloring techniques and will recommend the best option to achieve your desired look.
We recommend using color-safe shampoos, minimizing heat styling, and scheduling regular maintenance appointments. We also carry professional pigmented shampoos and conditioners in a wide range of shades to help maintain vibrancy between visits.
Yes, we have options for you. If ammonia irritates your scalp, or you would simply rather avoid it, our stylists offer two ammonia-free color options so you can still get rich, dimensional color that is gentler on a sensitive scalp. Let us know when you book or at your consultation, and we will build a formula around what your hair and scalp can comfortably handle.
You will need to book a corrective color with your stylist to lighten the color. You cannot lighten the color by using a lighter boxed color.
Hair Treatments
You should wait a minimum of two weeks after a perm or relaxer to color the hair. Not only can a chemical texture service strip your color, but the two services together may be damaging to the hair.
We offer keratin and smoothing treatments, straightening services, perms, and other chemical services designed to enhance manageability and style.
Our deep conditioning and protein treatments restore strength, moisture, and shine. Our trichologist evaluates the hair at a structural level, identifies underlying issues, and recommends targeted solutions to improve hair health.
Yes. We use professional formulas specifically designed to protect and preserve color-treated hair.
Styling, Updos, and Blowouts
Yes. We specialize in special event styling, formal designs, and wedding hair.
A blow-out typically lasts 2 to 7 days, depending on hair type, lifestyle, and at-home care.
Yes. Our stylists create custom updos for weddings, proms, and other formal events.
Any time a heat styling tool is used on the hair, you should apply a heat protectant to create a barrier between the hair and the styling tool.
Hair Extensions
We offer a wide range of extension methods, including wefts, butterfly wefts, tape-ins, hand-tied wefts, invisible wefts, I-tips, fusion (hot and cold), mesh integration, halos, and clip-ins.

Half is due when you book to hold your appointment, and the fee is non-refundable, including for a no-show or cancellation.

Hand-Tied Hair Tinsel

Hair tinsel typically lasts anywhere from 2-16 weeks, depending on hair care and styling habits.
Yes. We offer a wide variety of colors to customize your look.
Hair Loss, Wigs & Trichology
What is trichology, and what does a trichologist do?
Trichology is the study of the hair and scalp. As a Clinically Certified Trichologist, Kristan looks at your hair, your scalp, your health history, your bloodwork, and your daily habits to figure out why your hair is changing and what will help. We focus on the whole picture: what is happening on the scalp, what is happening inside the body, and what you are doing day to day. Trichologists are not medical doctors, so when something is outside our scope we will refer you to a physician.
Clinically Certified Trichology
Anyone who is noticing changes in their hair or scalp. That includes thinning, a widening part, more shedding than usual, hair loss after a baby, illness, stress, or weight loss, and changes during perimenopause or menopause. It also includes itching, flaking, or a scalp that just doesn't feel right. Men and women are both welcome. The earlier you come in, the more we can protect.
No. You can book directly with us. If anything we find needs medical attention, we'll tell you and help you know what to ask your doctor.
Your first visit is about an hour with Kristan. We go through your history, talk about what you are noticing, and do your initial scope so we can see your scalp up close. You leave with a plan: your home care routine, product recommendations, and the bloodwork we would like you to get. If your scalp needs a good cleanse before we start, we may book you for a scalp spa with Liberty first so your products can do their job.
Bring:
- A list of every medication and supplement you take, including doses.
- Any recent bloodwork.
- The hair and scalp products you use.
Also think about when you first noticed changes and anything that happened in the months before that, like illness, surgery, a new medication, a pregnancy, big stress, or weight loss. Shedding often shows up two to three months after the event that caused it, so that window matters.
A trichoscope is a digital microscope that magnifies your scalp so we can see things you can't see with the naked eye: follicle openings, hair thickness, thinning hairs, redness, flaking, and buildup. We photograph the same 9 spots on your head at every visit, so we can compare your scalp over time and actually measure your progress instead of guessing.
- Trichology Evaluation with Kristan: $175. This is about an hour and includes your first scope.
- Trichoscopy Progress Imaging with Liberty: $65, $95, or $120, depending on how many photos we take.
- Scalp Screening with Liberty: $35. This is a quick look through the scope, with no photos saved.
- If you just want a quick look at your scalp, book the $35 Scalp Screening with Liberty.
- If you have hair loss concerns or want a full plan, book the $175 Trichology Evaluation with Kristan.
- Already a client and due for your progress photos? Book Trichoscopy Progress Imaging with Liberty.
- Your evaluation and personalized plan.
- Trichoscope imaging of your scalp.
- Before and after comparisons so you can see your progress.
- A bloodwork review where Kristan goes through your results value by value.
- A written home care routine and product recommendations tailored to you.
- Your own private client portal with your photos, comparisons, product list, and our detailed Client FAQ.
- Direct email access to Kristan for questions between visits.
Most clients come back about every three months for a progress scope with Liberty, since that's how long it takes to see real change in the hair cycle. If we're treating scalp inflammation or dermatitis, we usually want to see you in a couple of weeks.
Hair grows slowly, so plan on at least three months before judging. Less shedding is usually the first sign, then new baby hairs, then better density over six to twelve months. Your progress photos show you exactly what's changing.
Yes. Your photos, notes, and forms are stored securely, and you'll sign our privacy forms before your first visit. We never share your information without your permission.
Call or text the salon at 810-360-0915, email kris@kbellahairstudio.com, or book online.
Losing about 50 to 100 hairs a day is normal, and you may see more on wash days. What matters is a change from your normal: clumps in the drain, hair on your pillow, a thinner ponytail, or a wider part. If you're noticing a change, it's worth a look.
The most common cause of sudden, all over shedding is telogen effluvium. It happens when a shock to the body pushes many hairs into the resting phase at once. Common triggers are illness, surgery, childbirth, major stress, rapid weight loss, a new medication, or low iron. The tricky part is that shedding usually starts two to three months after the trigger, so most people never connect the two. We help you find the cause so your hair can recover.
Usually it's the fast weight loss and eating less, especially less protein, rather than the drug itself. It's typically temporary shedding. Sometimes the weight loss also reveals thinning that was already starting underneath. We look at your scalp and bloodwork to tell the difference and build a plan to protect your hair while you reach your goals.
Yes, it's very common. Hormones during pregnancy keep hair growing longer. After delivery, those hairs all rest and shed together, usually starting two to three months after birth. It typically recovers on its own. If it isn't slowing down, or your hair isn't filling back in, low iron or thyroid changes may be slowing your recovery, and we can help.
As estrogen drops, hormones like DHT have a stronger effect on the hair follicles. Many women notice thinning on top, a wider part, or less fullness overall. This is one of the best times to start a trichology program, because the earlier we start, the more we can protect.
Yes. A major stressful event can trigger shedding a few months later, and ongoing stress can keep it going. It can also make scalp issues like itching and flaking flare up.
Yes. Flaking and itching are often caused by inflammation on the scalp, and an unhealthy scalp makes it harder for hair to grow well. With the trichoscope we can see what's actually going on, whether that's buildup, dryness, or inflammation, and get you on the right routine.
They're some of the most exciting areas in hair science right now, and we offer them at K Bella. The research is still new, and there are no FDA approved exosome products for treating hair loss, so be cautious of anyone promising miracle results. We'll give you honest guidance on whether they make sense for you.
Most store products are designed to make healthy hair look nicer, not to address why your hair is thinning. Without knowing the cause, it's easy to spend a lot on the wrong things. That's exactly what a trichology evaluation is for.
See a physician or dermatologist if you have:
- Round bald patches.
- A painful, burning, or bleeding scalp.
- Smooth, shiny areas with no hair.
- Sudden loss of eyebrows or body hair.
- Hair loss in a child.
We're always happy to work alongside your doctor.
Wigs, Toppers, and Hair Replacement
Hair needs both a healthy skin environment on the scalp and internal balance in your body to grow normally. K Bella has amazing products for a healthy scalp which are gentle, safe, and price-efficient. If products are not fixing the issue, you may ask your doctor about your concerns.

Many plans help cover a cranial prosthesis. Your doctor writes a prescription, you come in to see Kristan, and she orders the cranial prosthesis. You pay the salon, and we give you the paperwork to send your insurance company for reimbursement. Coverage varies, so please confirm with your insurance provider that cranial prosthetics are covered under your plan. We are glad to help.
A cranial prosthesis is a custom medical-grade wig for people experiencing hair loss from a medical cause such as chemotherapy, alopecia, or an autoimmune condition. Kristan is a certified cranial prosthesis specialist.
We primarily fit Jon Renau, along with Raquel Welch and other quality human hair and synthetic lines, in lace-front and other constructions.
Yes. Many clients prefer to choose a wig before treatment so we can match their natural color and style. We welcome you at whatever stage feels right.
Our consultations are a professional, paid service. When you call, our receptionists will help you choose the consultation that fits your needs and arrange your visit.
Lashes, Brows & Makeup
What is the difference between lash extensions and a lash lift?
Lash extensions add length and volume, while a lash lift enhances your natural lashes by curling them upward.
Eyelash Extensions and Lifts
With proper care and regular fills, extensions typically last 2–4 weeks.
Avoid oil-based products, rubbing the eyes, and excessive moisture for the first 24-48 hours.
Yes, but only water-based mascara specifically designed for extensions.
These are questions all lash-wearers have at some point. Not only should your tech be washing your lashes before EVERY service, but you should also be washing them at home, daily. When you wear lashes, you are crowding your natural lash line. This means that you need to take extra precautions to make sure that the area stays clean.
The time of day you choose to wash your lashes can matter, too! There are some circumstances in which washing them only in the morning or at night isn’t what’s best. For instance, you are much better off washing them after a workout, after doing yard work, or after a day at the beach. In these situations, it is better to get the debris and bacteria out right away. Ensure you have healthy and happy lashes by keeping them clean!
Brow Rehab and Shaping
Brow rehab is designed to restore overplucked or sparse brows through shaping, growth support, and tinting.
We create a customized plan that includes professional shaping and growth-supporting products.
Results typically last 4–6 weeks between maintenance visits.
Microblading and Permanent Cosmetics
Microblading is a semi-permanent brow technique that creates natural-looking hair strokes using fine, precise strokes.
Microblading results typically last 6 to 18 months depending on your skin type and lifestyle. A touch-up about 6-8 weeks after your first session perfects the result, and a yearly touch-up keeps it looking fresh. Longer-lasting permanent brow options are also available.
Most clients find microblading very tolerable and describe the feeling as light scratching rather than real pain. Nada works gently and carefully and checks in with you throughout, so you stay comfortable from start to finish.
Microblading creates crisp, hair-like strokes; powder or ombre brows (machine brows) give a soft, filled-in look similar to makeup. Nada helps you choose what suits your skin and style.
Nada Toma, a Master Esthetician with over 13 years of experience and current certifications in infection control and bloodborne pathogen safety.
Machine (powder) brows, permanent eyeliner, and permanent lip color including lip blush and lip liner, in addition to microblading. Brow lamination and tinting are part of our separate Brow Rehab service.

Spray Tanning
A spray tan typically lasts 5–10 days, depending on skin type and aftercare.

Exfoliate beforehand, avoid lotions or oils, and wear loose clothing for best results.
Yes. We offer both full-body and customized spray tanning options.
The only way our spray tans can turn orange is if the solution is deactivated too soon. We recommend waiting 24 hours before allowing water to touch the tan. This includes: showering, hand washing, crying, sweating, and rain.
Waxing and Hair Removal
All hair removal services require a consultation to be sure it is safe for you based on medications and other factors. Nufree contains all botanical ingredients and adheres to the hair, not the skin, so it is very gentle.
We offer full-body waxing, facial waxing, bikini waxing, and specialty hair removal services.
Results typically last 3–6 weeks, depending on individual hair growth cycles.
Yes. We use gentle wax formulas designed for sensitive skin.

Clean the area daily with recommended solutions and avoid touching or rotating the jewelry.
