Kavena is amazing! She saved my hair from years of bowl cuts and barbers who didn’t know what they were doing. I cannot recommend her enough. She takes her time with everyone and is always super friendly.

I felt so special, like I've known her forever. My first time at K RAE, she took her time, never rushed, love my hair cut and low lights. I recently lost my husband and needed a kind, compassionate person and she certainly filled my need. A genuine sweet lady!

Kavena is a master at color and highlights! She is very honest about what she can do to your hair. You tell her what you are looking for and she may say it will take a couple of visits to get it where you want it to be. Like Platinum. I appreciate her honesty. She is very attentive and doesn't rush you out. She is very professional and has wonderful products you can purchase for your specific hair needs. I like the fact that she has her own studio - it's quiet, you can enjoy a conversation with her, and you have her undivided attention without distraction. I get so many compliments on my highlights and haircuts. I'm always proud to give out her business card. I know she can fix just about anything! A true professional!

I had such a wonderful experience here with Kavena! From making the appointment to the cleanliness of her salon—everything was done over and above what I expected. My favorite was the shampoo—best I have ever had—it was a good 10 minute massage! My hair cut and style was exactly what I wanted—she really listened to me. Our conversation just flowed so nice. I highly recommend this salon!

Really affordable for a very professional experience and cut. She has great style and judgement. I literally will ask her to do what she thinks is best and she knocks it out if the park every time. The Paul Mitchell shampoo and treatments for fine thin hair she sells are amazing!! I have tried so many treatments and vitamins to get my hair to grow thicker and this is the best system I have ever used!

Took a chance on Kavena after salons started reopening in June. I am so glad I came across her Yelp page because she is hands-down the most attentive, professional, helpful, and kind stylist I've had (and I've had a lot). Kavena asked me about my vision for my hair and offered useful tips on how to wash and style my fine hair type and my asymmetrical pixie cut. I loved it and felt human again! A few days after I played around with my hairstyle a little more, I wanted certain parts to be trimmed a little more. Kavena had a super busy schedule, but still fit me in a few days later at the end of the day (for which I am very grateful). I felt bad for taking up her extra time and tried to rush through the appointment, but Kavena was warm and asked questions and checked in with me to ensure she was addressing the concerns that I had. I left the salon smiling so big and told Kavena that she was a magician. I highly recommend K-Rae not only for her talent with hair but for her excellent customer service!!

Kavena is incredible! She's very professional, personable, easy to talk to, and incredible at what she does. I've known her for years and in that time I've known hair to be her passion and it shows. My hair has never looked better than it does today. She took a bowl cut disaster and turned it into something very stylish.

I was in Rockford for the wedding of my eldest step daughter. The bride and bridesmaids were from out of town, so we searched Yelp for a hair salon and luckily found Kavena! She did a beautiful job on all three girls with braids and curls and long thick hair. I made all of the arrangements via email and she was very responsive. She completed all three updos in less time than estimated. Kavena was sweet, professional, and very accommodating. If you are looking for a hair stylist in the Rockford area, check her out. She does traditional cuts and color or more outrageous colors for the younger set. She is in the Sola Salon building. Thanks, Kavena!!

So lovely! My hair turned out fantastic. I also love how it's her own studio so it was Mich more relaxing than a traditional salon. Found my new hair girl!
