It’s been said that if you choose a job you love, you will never have to work a day in your life. That’s definitely true for Taylore Kohn of Gray Willow Salon here in West Bend. And with her recent move to a new location on the corner of 7th Ave and Chestnut Street, this is more true than ever. We had a chance to sit down recently, and talk about why she chose to stay in West Bend and why she does hair.
Having experimented on hair with her dolls growing up, Taylore has long known what she wanted to do. “I had done some friends’ and family members’ hair for special events, and loved every minute of it,” she said. When it came time to choose a career path, the choice was easy. Even when looking at continuing her education, Taylore says she always gravitated towards the beauty schools, ‘It’s where I truly felt at home…as if it were meant to be.”
She says that one of her favorite styles to do is the popular and timeless up-do. “Since starting my own business I have had the opportunity to be a part of so many people’s BIG day and that is really amazing.” And, always looking to expand her creative base, she recently became certified to do extensions when she went to SKW extensions training in Chicago.
We asked what makes her salon and style unique. With a focus on realistic expectations and being a listening ear for her clients, Taylore says as a hairdresser, she helps educate her customers as to what truly is possible with their hair.
People of all ages are welcome at Gray Willow. Taylore strives to make it known that customer service is her number one priority. She does this because West Bend is not just where she has her business, but it’s her home as well. She loves that many of her neighbors are also her clients. She loves sharing her knowledge and recommendations when someone is looking for help in the area. And, she loves being able to support their businesses.
“I am very passionate about hair. I love what I do.” Taylore says. “The best part is when you’re all finished with their hair and the smile on your customer’s face just lights up the room. To me that’s the best feeling a hairdresser can have.”
