Since beginning her career in 2015, Kay Wilson has built her experience behind the chair in Pennsylvania, New York City, and Los Angeles—bringing together technical precision, editorial influence, and a modern approach to textured hair.

What started as a passion for curly hair quickly evolved into something much bigger. Today, Kay is known for helping beauty professionals think differently about their craft, their confidence, and the careers they're building. Her education extends beyond haircutting, blending technical expertise with client communication, consultations, retail strategy, and business growth to create experiences that leave a lasting impact.

As the creator of Texture Theory and co-founder of Beyond the Highlight Reel and Cut Collective, Kay is passionate about developing confident professionals who don't just master their technique, but build careers with intention. Whether she's behind the chair, teaching a classroom of stylists, or speaking to salon owners, her mission remains the same: to equip beauty professionals with the tools, perspective, and confidence to create businesses—and lives—that last.
