I love the Kaylee and the atmosphere of the salon. It’s absolutely wonderful!

Had an amazing experience at the Kindred Salon. Kelly is an expert, and I trust her with my hair completely. Will continue to come back to Kelly so she can keep my hair beautiful.

I absolutely love coming to Kindred Salon to see Kelly! I met Kelly while searching for hair stylists for my wedding 3 years ago. Her silly personality and loving nature made me feel welcome right away. No matter how much time has passed between my appointments, (more time than there should be…my fault), Kelly greets me with love and laughter as well as her extensive knowledge base. I am biracial, and have been blessed with thick, textured hair. Kelly has helped me understand how to care for and maintain my hair when it is in its curly state as well as providing me with products to help me achieve more sleek styles when I want them. I am so grateful for Kelly and hope that her books always remain full of new clients who will love her as much as I do!

I have been going to Kaylee for close to 10 years now for my hair cut or 'Air Cut' as I call it because I don't trust just anyone to 'cut' my hair which is 28 inches long now so she knows just how to shape it and not cut it short. She offers great suggestions and I have been most happy with her services as she is quite the professional and she loves loves loves what she does :) I highly recommend Kaylee!


Dec 05, 2024

Kaylee does an amazing job with my hair! Love the relaxed feeling as well while in the salon. The new beverage choices make it feel even more of a treat for myself

Kelly of Inner Glow (located inside Kindred Salon) was awesome! I have curly hair that can be challenging to care for and style. Kelly was patient and thorough in explaining her haircut approach (a dry cut vs. a wet cut!) and styling techniques. She thoughtfully answered all of my questions about products and styling and was just a pleasure to talk to during my salon visit. Thank you for the great service and recommendations!

Kindred is the best salon I've been to! The vibes are immaculate. We LOVE Lauren!!


Dec 05, 2024

She's always so amazing and wonderful! Both my children have been curly hair and I am very picky about their hair and she always makes them look fantastic. Very cautious about what I want for them and what they like. Highly recommend!

Everyone knows how hard it is to find a salon and stylist that they love. After my original stylist moved out of state, I was referred to Kaylee and haven’t looked back since! Something I love most about my appointments is that they feel collaborative and effortless. Kaylee really takes the time to hear me, asks questions to understand my hair, then walks me through her thoughts and makes suggestions. I never feel like I’m being pushed into a style I don’t want and have never left feeling like I didn’t look like myself. I also never feel like I’m asking dumb questions or causing a problem by wanting to switch up my typical appointment! As an added bonus, the salon is such a warm and welcoming space, the vibes are always on point. I love that I can actually work during my appointment or just chat! All of that said I would HIGHLY recommend checking out Kindred, you won’t regret it!!


Nov 05, 2024

I have been seeing Kaylee for almost 10 years now! She always knows just what I want, and can give recommendations if I need some ideas, or want to try something new. I always leave extremely happy with my hair. She is the best at cuts and color, and her blowouts are always fabulous. I always receive so many compliments on my hair. I'm so grateful to have her! 10 stars!!


Nov 05, 2024

Kaylee is simply the best! She listens and offers advice on how best to tame my crazy hair! I always feel fabulous walking out of Kindred Salon!


Nov 05, 2024

Amazing salon! Trendy interior with a cozy relaxing environment. I searched for years to find someone who could cut my long thick wavy hair and also do an awesome highlight and always fell short until I found Kaylee ! She can do it all ! Not only is Kaylee awesome she does it all in a beautifully curated salon. You won’t be disappointed coming here !


Sep 05, 2024

I’ve been going to Kindred for over a year and Kaylee cuts my hair. Every visit is such a pleasure. The salon has a great atmosphere and everyone I have encountered (stylists and clients) are a joy. The salon has such a sense of community and every haircut feels like catching up with a friend. I feel Kaylee nails my haircut every time. She takes the time to understand what I want. I ALWAYS get compliments on my hair after a haircut.


Sep 05, 2024

Kelly is a gem! Talented & patient. Highly recommend for all of your hair needs!


Jul 05, 2024

I had an amazing experience at Kindred today with Kelly!! The space is so nice and relaxing and all the girls were so sweet. Kelly did a wonderful job on my hair and I can’t wait for my next appointment


Jul 05, 2024

I’ve been seeing Kelly for over a year and always love what she does with my hair. I have curly naturally brown hair and transforms me into a beautiful copper that I adore!


Jul 05, 2024

Kelly has been my hairstylist for 4 years now and she never disappoints. She is professional AND fun! I used to hate getting my hair done and it was always finding a stylist to stick with but she will be cutting my hair for as long as I am here!


Jun 05, 2024

Super pleasant first experience! Lauren was kind, professional and had me in & out in no time. Will be my new go-to since I live in the neighborhood :)


May 05, 2024

Always a great experience walking through the doors. Kaylee and team understand my needs and how my hair works, leaving me with a haircut that lasts.

Always great, prompt and professional


Feb 05, 2024

An incredible salon with talented stylists! Kaylee gives me the best haircuts I have ever had, she's friendly and welcoming! Also, the salon is gorgeous and comfortable. One year later update!!! She is still absolutely fabulous, Kaylee is talented and friendly. I love her cuts, I walk out of her salon feeling so confident and on top of the world 💗


Feb 05, 2024

Been going here for a while and I cannot recommend it enough!! The saloon is beautiful and has very high quality products :)


Feb 05, 2024

Best service! Everytime I leave I love LOVE how my hair looks! I love my cuts & color EVERYTIME!


Feb 05, 2024

I always see Lauren here!! She’s a star! It’s always hard to find someone who is confident is doing reds & coppers! She nails it every time. Haircuts too! So kind, welcoming, and detailed. It’s always nice to be remembered by your stylist no matter how long of a break you may take getting your hair done. Vibes are so chill in the salon and the chairs are suuuuper comfy. 🫶🏻 Kindered is also located in a super cute part of town. It’s got great light and history near by. Check it out!! :) Pic is from a Disney trip where Lauren absolutely SLAYYYED my copper and added some magical tinsel. 💜🩷


Feb 05, 2024

I cannot say enough good things about this salon! Kindred is such a warm and comfortable environment. Kaylee is so amazing and always has the best consultative touch. 1000/10 would recommend!


Feb 05, 2024

I've been going here for about 2 years and this is by far my favorite experience. I get my hair done about twice a year and they know exactly how to care for my hair for long stretches between cuts and lived in highlights. It's right next to the best bakery in town and perfectly located in the heart of Springfield. 100% recommend for anyone in the Urban Core or just outside! I travel to come by taken care of by Kaylee who saved my hair from a bad color years ago!


Feb 05, 2024

Kaylee @ Kindred is an artist in her field! I’ve been a client of her throughout her career, if you haven’t booked with her yet call now! Kindred has a cool calming vibe and I enjoy my time in Kaylees chair and I’m sure you will too! Bonus, her R&Co brand is amazing product!


Feb 05, 2024

Kaylee and everyone at Kindred are amazing! My hair always looks beautiful and they are so great at understanding exactly what my hair wants and needs💕


Feb 05, 2024

Kindred is an awesome salon in the up and coming neighborhood of Springfield! I always get a great haircut from Kaylee and they have the most comfortable shampoo chairs I’ve ever sat in.


Feb 05, 2024

The cutest salon with the best hairdressers and products! Kaylee is always knowledgeable on the latest trends with priority on keeping my hair healthy. Kaylee never pushes products or extras, but the salon does offer a great variety of products and the absolute cutest accessories.


Feb 05, 2024

Kaylee and the salon is amazing!


Feb 05, 2024

Kaylee at Kindred is the best! She’s helped me go from brunette, to pink, to bronde and back to brunette. The shampoo stations are so comfortable you could take a nap. Definitely recommend.


Feb 05, 2024

Lauren is my stylist and has never disappointed!!


Feb 05, 2024

Lauren saved my botched dye job (that was done by another professional!!). She then helped me find a low maintenance plan to blend my gray and keep me feeling good. She is a true artist and does amazing work, while keeping the best interest of the client in mind. I am grateful to have found her.
