Hair By Shelby Kelsey

I stumbled across Shelby, wasn't referred and really knew nothing about her, didn't care to know at the time. I was desperate for a good color with low lights and highlights without turning my hair platinum blonde. My last few experiences here in Vegas have been awful and overpriced for what I received. I have paid in ranges of $110 to $205 for cut and colors most of my adult life and have been at the mercy of the stylist for their knowledge. I don't like chunky color, just more natural. I have medium to long hair that has a natural wave to it and haven't changed the style in over 5 years, until yesterday. I told Shelby what I wanted based on my previous coloring experiences, and she didn't agree with me. For the first time in my entire life I found a hair stylist that knows what the heck she is doing and that sometimes the client isn't always right. It's easy for a colorist or stylist to tell you that they can achieve the color or cut that you want. Most stylists and colorists are "y... Read more

I've been going to Shelby for years and she is fantastic. Not only is she the nicest, most attentive stylist I've ever met but she is also the most talented (trust me on that- I worked in the spa/salon industry for years). Before a job interview, a party or a big date, I always have her do a blowdry. Her blowdries give my fine hair SO much volume! You will never regret having Shelby do your hair.

I've bleached my own hair for years and decided one day to do it with blueing. I washed it out when I noticed that the blue was clinging to my hair. So my blonde hair was orange and blue. I found Shelby online and she said she was a colorist. I explained my situation, she said no problem. I had mentioned doing my hair ALL honey colored.She said she could get the darkest hair blonde without bleach. Super! So when I got there she got the blue out and then put some dark streaks in. I was waiting for her to get the orange out but she never did. Then instead of making my hair honey, she "did her own thing" and put ash on it. Now I have orange and green hair with dark zebra looking streaks in it. It cost $170.00. Even Geela, a gal that works at Tonic II said Shelby should give me my money back because my hair looks "muddy" and that it would take a couple of visits for Geela to color my hair correctly.

I went to another salon in town (the Loft), and I got horrible color not once but twice (the second was a redo). I found Shelby by searching for "corrective highlights" in Vegas and found she works up the street at Tonic II. She fixed my highlights from the other salon, and now my hair looks better than it did before I even got it colored. She knew right what to do and made me look like a normal human being! I think it takes a lot of talent to not only create great color, but to fix someone else's mistakes too. She did a GREAT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!

Stylist Shelby Kelsey is proud to call Las Vegas's Tonic II Salon home where she offers the utmost in hair care ranging from unique cuts and colors to the ultimate in client-catered styles.

When I first met Shelby I loved her style and her ambience. I was able to see her work first hand on a couple of clients she had that I was associated with. Being a former hair stylist it was very hard for me to find somebody that I could trust with my precious hair. We all have horror stories about going to a stylist and leaving with nothing close to what you had wanted. Some stylist take it upon themselves to do what they see fits best. Well you wont get that with shelby. She is attentive she,gives the best and listens to what the client's want. My hair was beyond any help, or so I thought. She formulated a color just for me and it is absolutely wonderful. She is a master. Her cutting skills are out of this world. Not only is she absolutely out of this world with her color and styling!!!!!!!! She gives the best Shampoo that I have ever had. I would follow Shelby anywhere, I have never had so many compliments on one hair style in my whole life. So wether you are looking to change you... Read more

Shelby is AMAZING with color and a scissors...actually for my hair she uses EVERY (no exaggeration...seriously) cutting device she has! I always feel comfortable and confident that she will transform my head into a masterpiece...and I have never been disappointed. I TRUST HER COMPLETELY (emphasis added). I even recommended that a very good friend of mine see her for her "wedding hair." Because I know she won't be disappointed on her big day! I have no regrets or hesitation when it comes to choosing her as my stylist....I am her client till death do us part!!

Without a doubt I have the world?s worst hair and it wasn't until Shelby got a hold of me that life started to take on a more rational tone. She is very patient and careful yet has a sense of flair that truly reflects the needs and expectations of her clients. The care she takes is far beyond anything I?ve ever experienced and it?s almost like she is cutting each hair individually. Shelby also takes the time to explain every step in the ?styling? process and insures that her client is satisfied with the cut and never tries to sell product over style. A great experience and in a town full of smoke and mirrors it is nice to find someone who really knows (and cares) about what they are doing.

I met Shelby a couple of months ago when I dropped by the salon she was working at and saw her in action & was really impressed the way she took care of the girl she was working on. I called back to make an appointment with her the next day she was amazing my hair was wow i have gotten a lot of compliments on my hair and i just tell them if you want wow hair too go see Shelby she really cares about her clients and it shows by the way we all refer other people to her.

Shelby saved me!!!! She was meant to be my stylist. My job is very demanding and I can not see her every 6weeks, so Shelby created a color for me that grows out with my natural color. Shelby is the stylist of stylistes. I found her during a "growing out I do not know what I want to do stage" She has given me a cut and color that is simply timeless Shelby is a Superstar! I will follow her anywhere

at doing my hair, I have been going to her for about a year now and I am very loyal to her because she is great at what she does. She just recently put highlights in my hair and I am not a color person but they look amazing, I love them! Oh I've also had her do quite a few updos on me and they're by far the best updos I have ever had. They stayed completely in place the entire night even when I was go-go dancing for hours. She is very good at giving you a style that you ask for but also working with your hair to make it look the best that it can. And I dont care what anyone says shes the best shampooer I know! I wouldn't reccomend anyone else to go to in town.

Shelby did a great job on my hair cut. I was especially pleased with my bangs. It's really hard to trust someone with your hair these days, and I will definitely schedule another appointment with her and refer her to my friends and family.

When I go for a haircut, i usually get the same style. Very plain, simple and vague. But when i was introduced to Shelby, she opened up my eyes to what style really is. She gave me a whole new look. I love it.
