THE TEAM BEHIND ROOTED MUSE
alicia kilLian
Alicia's passion for artistic creativity started at a young age carrying her into 15 years and growing behind the chair since graduating from The Salon Professional Academy.
While trying to find her place in the big industry that is hair she unfortunately found herself with a bad haircut that led her passion for hair extensions to explode, learning all the tips, tricks, and methods a decade could fill until discovering her love and certification for Great Lengths extensions.
Great Lengths checked all the boxes she was looking for-long lasting, ethically sourced human hair that protects and gives the most natural movement from carefully customized application for each individual client. This intern developed her second specialty of lived in hair by learning how to remove weight and add movement for both her extension and natural hair clients. These lived-in looks also showcase her attention to detail with multi-dimensional and low-maintenance hair.
Alicia's creativity is driven by continued education, inspiration, love, and support from her beautiful clients, family, and friends.
Mia first began her path in the industry in 2009, and became licensed in NYS in 2011.
She has taken her talents from New York to Australia, where she eventually began a one on one boutique studio specializing in vivid & fantasy colors. Returning to Buffalo in 2021, she began rebuilding her clientele in the local area and in May of 2023, her and Alicia began Rooted Muse.
Mia’s passion behind the chair is well rounded, and while her true love is fantasy colors, she dually has a deep passion for natural dimensional coloring (foil & balayage work)
Continued education keeps Mia inspired, and in October 2023 she completed her DevaCurl Certification, specializing in curly, wavy, & coily haircutting & styling.
