Our Story: Artist & Muse
For Kirk and Keri, hair is more than a profession—it's been a lifelong passion. After years of working in top salons on the Eastside, they felt compelled to bring their skills home, creating a space in their lovely community of West Seattle.
​
With decades of combined experience, Kirk and Keri have worked across the industry—corporate salons, boutique studios, education, and editorial styling. Their expertise has been shaped by working alongside some of the industry's best, from global fashion runways to intimate, one-on-one transformations behind the chair.
For Keri, hair has always been in her blood. Inspired by watching her grandmother behind the chair, she knew from an early age that this was what she wanted to do. She started her career in California in her early 20s, building her skills as both a stylist and educator. Over the years, she has developed a deep passion for balayage, mastering this technique through extensive training and hands-on experience.
For Kirk, he is recognized as one of the top hair stylists in the Pacific Northwest. With over 12 years of experience, his career in fashion and hair design has been shaped by working at some of the most prestigious salons in Seattle and Bellevue. After graduating from the Advanced Training Salon, he was invited to collaborate with the original founding stylists of Vidal Sassoon on internationally renowned fashion shows. His extensive training with global industry leaders has given him a distinct edge, combining technical precision with an artistic approach to hair design.

​Together, they built Artist & Muse—a salon dedicated to creating beautiful hair while providing every client with a welcoming, professional experience. Their team is equally committed to making each visit feel personal and inspiring.
