Transforming others one strand at a time
in events, miscellaneous
MUNCIE, Ind.– Foil crinkles as Kaley Cargile, 22, places it beneath a strand of her hair. She grabs an applicator and brushes a dye mix that smells of bleach onto the foil and the strand of hair. Once finished, she folds the foil toward her roots. Cargile continues this process until all her hair is wrapped in foil.
Cargile has been coloring her hair every color possible in the hair color world since she was in middle school. Every few weeks, she changes the color(s).
Hair styling was introduced into Cargile’s life through her grandmother, who was a hair stylist. After spending years doing her own hair, as well as her friends’, Cargile decided hair styling was her calling. “It definitely takes a certain personality… an outgoing, nice person who can talk,” Cargile laughs.
Following graduation from Southside High School in 2010, Cargile attended Amber’s Beauty School for two years to receive her cosmetology license.
“I just like transforming people and making them feel their best,” Cargile says, “and honestly, I’m nervous… until I’m done, but I feel good making them look better.”
Cargile rents a chair at Famous Hair on McGalliard in Muncie, and would like to have her own studio or saloon in the future.
