K Studio

Kristy worked magic. I had been box dying with temporary fire engine red for half a year on top of a dark brown dye, and in one sitting she was able to remove literally all red (and pink) tones, have literally 0 breakage, and make it my natural color with fantastic highlights. Like...im blown away with the results. It's as healthy as ever and only took 1 sitting as opposed to like 3 different appointments. Highly recommend.

Studio K is owned and operated by one of Denver's BEST stylists, Kristy Koopman. My history with Kristy goes back at least 10yrs, and I can confidently say that in all those years of service, I have never once been disappointed. She ALWAYS provides a comfortable, relaxed yet professional atmosphere at her establishment. Her knowledge and expertise in cosmetology, guarantees that you will have a good hair experience. She has even miraculously fixed my hair, when I've chosen to "do it myself", or wanted to save a few bucks and go to.... Anyway, if you want an excellent beauty experience, take my advice and make your appointment today at Studio K.

I'm doing a mommy makeover in preparation for a return to the workforce. Since this is such a high-stakes situation, I decided that this time I'd better do a bit of homework on hairstyles and stylists rather than just make my usual beeline to Fantastic Sam's. That's when I made the happy discovery that some stylists actually specialize in curly hair! Even though I live some distance from Lakewood, I decided to give Kristy/Studio K a try because Kristy didn't seem to be a fanatical proponent of any particular curly-hair style ideology. I prepared for the appointment by scanning hairstyles on the web, but I still had a lot of trouble envisioning what I might want and what might even be possible for my dry, thin, frizzy, and falling-out-in-handfuls hair. I finally gave up and just made a laundry list of what I did/didn't want in a hairstyle. When we got to Studio K, my daughter miraculously found a magazine photo of a promising hairstyle. Kristy took my laundry list and morphed that photo into a much curlier version that looked completely natural on me. I was very nervous when she started frizzing my hair into a cloud and snipping away, but once she applied product and diffused, the final result was amazing. (Finally, not too short or too long! And who knew that I could have a cut that could be riotously curly or blown out straight?) I washed and styled my hair at home last night, and everything still looks great. The products Kristy recommended for home care are also a major improvement over what I had used previously. To say that I am immensely pleased with Kristy's work is an understatement. She is certainly skilled at cutting and styling curly hair. (She mentioned in passing that about 80% of her business is with curly hair, and it shows.) What also sets Kristy above many other stylists is that she also seems to have the rare and uncanny ability to accurately read a person and create a hairstyle on the fly that truly fits the person and the situation. I also liked the atmosphere of the Studio K salon -- very cozy and introvert-friendly. Kristy's assistant (whose name unfortunately escapes me) was also personable and helpful, and it even seemed like she was trying to discern the nature of my hair as she washed it. I thought that prices for the style/consultation and the hair products were fair and reasonable and as posted on the Studio K web site ( I'll definitely be back the next time my hair needs care! (Even if I do need to plan ahead and make an appointment, since Kristy is much in demand.)
