Kait Stell

Hand-tied weft certified

Kait Stell is an elite hair designer who has been in the industry for over 15 years. She began her career in Raleigh, NC working at several prestigious salons in the area. Her talent and dedication to professional growth and excellence gained the attention of some well known product lines like Moroccanoil® for whom she became an Elevated Educator. She holds other certifications as well, such as hand-tied weft, and she can frequently be found researching new trends and discoveries in the areas of coloring, cutting, styling, and maintaining hair and scalp health. She quickly built up a large number of faithful clientele and took the leap to set out on her own, creating Vela Beauty Lounge. Kait maintains a level of professionalism that allows her clients to experience confidence in her services while feeling totally at ease in her chair, ensuring a relaxing and enjoyable visit to her salon. A search of her reviews will reveal phrases such as, “ I have tried more salons and stylists than I can count, but I am so thankful to say that the search is OVER. As long as Kait is doing hair in the Raleigh area she'll have my business.” Kait is also the mother of two precious little girls, Isla and Ivy, with whom she can frequently be found playing, laughing, singing and reading. 

Cancellation policy:

To my wonderful clients:

I hope this message finds you well and thank you for continuing to chose me for your hair care needs. I am committed to providing you with the best service and ensuring that all of my clients have the opportunity to enjoy their experience at Vela Beauty Lounge. 

Starting October 1, 2023, I will be implementing a new policy regarding no-shows and late cancellations. I understand that sometimes, unforeseen circumstances can arise, and appointment changes are necessary. However, to ensure that I can accommodate as many clients as possible and manage my schedule effectively, I will be keeping credit card information on file for all appointments.

Here's how this will work:

1. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, I kindly ask for at least 36 hours' notice. You can do this via text, email or phone call. This allows me to accommodate other clients who might be on my waiting list.Salon Lofts automatically sends out text messages and emails 48 hours in advance to remind you of your scheduled appointment. Failure to notify me at least 36 hours ahead of time may result in a charge of up to 25% of the scheduled service to your credit card on file.

2. Failure to show up for your appointment without any prior notice may result in a no-show fee of up to 50% of the scheduled service. This fee will be charged to your card on file. 

3. Deposits: For certain services or appointments requiring extensive time, I may request a non-refundable deposit to secure your booking. This deposit will be applied to your final bill on the day of the appointment.

I love you all so much and understand that emergencies can happen. If you have extenuating circumstances, please reach out to me as soon as possible and we will discuss a resolution.

Your credit card information will be securely stored and processed in compliance with all relevant privacy and security standards. Rest assured, your information will be kept confidential.

Please understand that implementing this new policy helps me maintain the highest quality of service and ensures that all my wonderful clients receive the attention they deserve. I so appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping me maintain an efficient schedule and serve all of my clients to the best of my abilities.

Thank you so much for your continued loyalty. I look forward to serving you in the future. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me.
