You’ve seen her on the ‘gram, creating amazing colors you barely knew were possible. But how did Kelly Naso get to be such a color goddess? Two things: dedication, and good old-fashioned hard work!
Kelly’s skills and drive have advanced her career—she’s currently enrolled in the prestigious Master Color Expert program—but she’s not slowing down anytime soon. “My goals are to become a Wella educator—I’m very passionate about Wella and would love to educate other stylists—and to potentially collaborate with other stylists!”
Once an artist, always an artist: before hair, Kelly studied art and worked in graphic design. But art itself wasn’t enough, and Kelly craved a way to bring her passion to work every day. Her skills and imagination were pushed to new levels in the MCE studio. And Kelly wants to share creative powers for good.
“I love to make people feel beautiful. I love seeing them have confidence in themselves.” She makes each workday dynamic and vibrant. “I love that it’s so colorful and different every day—creating colors and customizing each formula to every client.”
Kelly has the determination to never give up, the discipline to create every day, and the foresight to plan new goals—plus, this California girl knows how to have fun in the studio! “It’s my favorite place to be—my Disneyland! I love the Wella Studio and team!” As her grandfather—also a stylist—used to tell her, “If you love your job, you’ll never feel like you work a day in your life.”
Her tips to up-and-coming stylists?
1. Education is key
2. Always stay focused.
3. Stay current and ahead.
One way to stay ahead: Instagram. Kelly knows a picture is worth a thousand words—or, in her case, thousands of followers! “Instagram is an amazing tool and I love what it’s become for the hair industry. It enables us to interact, network, and learn from each other.”
Her tips for stylists hoping to up their Insta game? “Find good lighting for pictures—I feel like that’s a big struggle.” She also recommends posting contact info for potential clients to reach out and book appointments. Her final tip? “Stay consistent!”
Fill in the blank:
I couldn’t live without: Wella ❤
My guilty pleasure is: Almond joy, I will eat them all. It's horrible.
My favorite place in the world is: Besides the Wella Studio, it would be Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

AMAZING COLOUR CORRECTION By@ryan_ellenconlinhair ❎ Colour Correction ❎ ✅ Wellaplex was used the whole way through to keep the health and integrity of the hair ✅ My client wants to be blonde for her birthday, she had previously been somewhere else and had foils done but it was too warm and patchy. We done a full head foils using 4 different mixtures then applied an in between colour to take away the bands and warmth left to give us a more even canvas to start this process, result was amazing 🔥 #wella #wellalove #wellafamily #wellalife #askforwella #blondor #freelights #wellaplex #colourtouch #clean #evencanvas #colourcorrection #bleachandtone #colourwork #transformation #waves #blunt #texture #fun #ellenconlinhair #glasgowsalon #glasgowhair #glasgowwestend #hyndland #visithyndland #gloss #ghdpro @ellenconlinhair (at Ellen Conlin Hair & Beauty) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTEaZkeKE-5/?utm_medium=tumblr
