about Kayla Ciara, beauty business consultant

Brooklyn born and raised, I’m a self-taught artist, creative hairstylist, and proud mother of twins. My beauty journey began at 14, when my mom told me it was time to do my own relaxer — a moment that sparked a lifelong love for creating beauty rituals and designing my own routines. Since then, I’ve worked everywhere from small Brooklyn salons to well-known brands like Ouidad, Drybar, and Devacurl, carrying my artistry with me between White Plains and Brooklyn, New York.

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats — Apprentice, Lead Stylist, Brand Ambassador, and Salon Manager, but the thread that ties it all together is my passion for blending artistry with soul. Today, I design apprenticeship programs that nurture creativity and confidence, helping salon owners build premium cultures and curate luxurious experiences for their clients. To me, beauty is never just what you see; it’s the energy we create, the confidence we grow into, and the legacy we leave behind. #BeautyBeyondTheEyes
