Who is D x MK?
Despina [by] Maria & Kostas
My parents
From the time I was a little girl, I always knew deep down that I wanted to become a hairstylist, a dream that felt like a part of who I was. I would spend countless hours in front of the mirror, meticulously fixing my hair until I got it just the way I liked it, so it’s only natural for me to be a little particular about the details when it comes to ensuring my clients look their best! I quickly learned that if my hair looked good, then I felt good, and it significantly enhanced my overall confidence as a woman. As a dedicated hairstylist, my ultimate goal is to create custom solutions and personalized services that will empower women to overcome various issues or challenges they are facing with their hair. Through my own personal journey filled with hair-related struggles and my 15 years of experience and knowledge in this field, I firmly believe that I can help women restore their self-confidence, enabling them to tackle not only the rest of their day but also all the days that lie ahead with renewed energy.
History
D x MK Hair Studio has been proudly serving the community since September of 2020. After spending several years working for various salon owners and feeling increasingly stuck and unhappy in my professional journey, I realized it was time to make a significant change and take the biggest risk of my life by believing in myself. The past five years have been nothing short of amazing, as I have had the privilege of providing services to many wonderful clients. I genuinely believe that taking a chance on myself was the best decision I ever made, both for my clients and for my personal growth. With 15 years of experience behind the chair, I have developed and honed my skills to better serve my clients’ needs. I love the opportunity to transform a person’s look through my extensive training in precision haircuts tailored for both men and women, along with trending coloring techniques like Balayage. Additionally, I have mastered the art of extensions using the innovative Invisible Bead Extension method. This journey has truly fueled my passion for creating custom, natural looks that effortlessly withstand the test of time. Continuously educating myself on the latest trends is of utmost importance to me, as it allows me to offer my clients the very best in hair artistry. I sincerely hope that when you have the opportunity to sit in my chair, I can create an unforgettable experience that will not only meet but exceed your expectations.
