❤️The Story of Kazzhair UK & Academy
🌱 From Humble Beginnings to Industry Recognition
❤️Founded in 2013 by Kaylee (Kazz) and Chris Porter, Kazzhair UK began with one clear mission: to revolutionise the hair extension and hair loss industry in the South West by offering premium quality, education, and genuine care.
❤️Originally from Australia, the Porters brought a fresh, no-nonsense approach to beauty services in Cornwall. What began as a local salon quickly grew into something much larger—a hub for hair transformation and a professional training centre for stylists across the UK.
💇♀️ The Salon: Precision, Passion, and Personalisation
❤️Kazzhair UK isn’t a high-street chain or a flashy franchise. It’s a boutique-style salon that prides itself on specialist, high-end services like:
• Luxury hair extensions (weft, tape, nano, etc.)
• Six custom hair loss systems
• Colour matching and blending artistry
• Client consultations rooted in education and honesty
❤️Clients don’t just walk in for a quick fix—they come for a transformation and education on how to maintain it. Many have said, “People think it’s my real hair,” and, “I’ve never had extensions feel this good.”
🎓 The Academy: Building the Next Generation
❤️Kazzhair didn’t stop at salon services. Realising there was a massive knowledge gap in the industry, Kazz and her team built the Kazzhair Academy to train professionals in:
• Hair extension application (various methods)
• Hair loss replacement systems
• Salon etiquette, aftercare, and consultation techniques
• Business setup and marketing support
❤️Over the years, the academy has helped hundreds of students gain industry-recognised certification and start their own businesses. Kazz is especially known for her ability to mentor women looking to transition into entrepreneurship or boost their career confidence. Having a Batchelor of Education she has trained hundreds in hair extensions and all staff also in hair loss and wigs .
🌟 A Growing, Loyal Following
❤️Kazzhair UK’s social following continues to grow thanks to:
• Regular before-and-after transformations
• Transparent hair education posts
• Empowering messages for clients dealing with hair loss or thinning
• Relatable and approachable branding that feels more like family than a business
❤️Their clients become their advocates, frequently tagging Kazzhair in photos and recommending them by word of mouth. Many say they travel from across the UK just to be seen by the team.
