Hi everyone, I'm Whitney!

​

I was born in a little town in Polk County Florida called Winter Haven. Some of my best friends still live there as well as my family so you may see me around every now and then if you live there. However I moved over to beautful Palm Harbor, a suburban beach town just north of Clearwater, 11 (almost 12) years ago, met my husband, adopted our frenchie, got married, and had 2 children (my boys).

I’ve been a hairstylist for 10 years. Prior to that I was in sales for nearly 7 years. I HATED sales. God bless those of you who have to meet quotas every month (UGH). Not for me, but kuddos to those who do it! 

I started my hair career at Aveda (in Tampa) and worked at an Aveda salon for 6 years. Eventually I left after my first child and opened my own salon loft to become my own boss and have my own schedule. Kefi Beauty was born! After 3 years of being in my own space, my 2nd child was born, and with each new chapter in life, new doors open. I decided it was the perfect time to move closer to home and I wanted to be back in a salon environment because I missed working with other hairstylists. 

I looked at salons locally and wasn’t impressed by too many. Many of the salons in our area are “beauty shops” and your girl here is NOT a fan of rolling perms if ya know what I mean. So I stumbled across Fringe Hair Studio on Instagram, reached out to Amanda the owner, met with her and we both decided we were each others perfect fit.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with the girls I work with and I know God led me down this path for a reason. When one door closes another one opens. Cheers!
