About us
Jodalyn
Owner & Licensed NBR® Artist
Hi! I’m Jodalyn—founder of Key Salon, Licensed NBR® Artist, and a firm believer that every woman deserves to feel confident in her own skin (and hair).
I’ve been behind the chair for over 13 years, but my love for beauty started way before that—on the front porch, giving my sister makeovers and dreaming big. What began as a childhood passion has grown into a purpose-driven career helping women from Kansas City and beyond feel seen, supported, and absolutely stunning.
Like many stylists, I started out doing a bit of everything, but nothing lit me up quite like hair extensions. After trying several methods, I found Natural Beaded Row® Extensions (NBR), and everything changed. Not only did NBR give me the tools to create truly transformational results, it also gave me a deeper understanding of business, boundaries, and showing up fully for my clients.
That’s when I knew I was meant to create something more—something elevated, intentional, and focused entirely on helping women feel like the best version of themselves again.
At Key Salon, it’s not about trends or quick fixes. It’s about creating luxury hair transformations that work with your lifestyle. Whether you’re navigating hair loss due to hormones, stress, or an autoimmune condition—or you simply want hair that feels like you—I’m here to help you reclaim that confidence.
When I’m not in the salon, I’m running around with my two boys, cheering them on at sports games, or packing up the camper for our next family adventure (bonus points if it ends at a beach!).
I can’t wait to welcome you into the salon and show you just how powerful great hair can be. You deserve this.

Maria
Color SPECIALIST & Extension Artist
Hi, I’m Maria!
I’m a licensed cosmetologist and proud graduate of the Entourage Institute of Beauty and Esthetics in Kansas, where I discovered my love for all things hair. Over the past four years, I’ve continued to grow in this amazing industry—taking
advanced courses and earning my certification in hair extensions.
You’ll find me at Key Salon Kansas City, a luxury salon that specializes in hair color and our signature Key Hair Extensions. I’m passionate about staying on top of the latest trends and techniques, and I’m always learning something new to better serve my guests.
There’s nothing I love more than helping women feel confident and beautiful. I believe hair has the power to transform how we feel, and I’m here for all the glow-ups, fresh looks, and meaningful connections.
Outside the salon, I’m a proud mama to a sweet two-year-old boy! We love to travel as a family and explore fun local spots together.
I can’t wait to meet you and help bring your hair dreams to life!
Frequently asked questions
NBR extensions are installed by applying a beaded row around the head to distribute the weight of the extensions evenly with fewer points of contact to the hair. No heat, glue, or any other adhesives are used. NBR extensions are custom cut and colored to blend perfectly into your natural hair.
The duration of NBR hair extensions varies, lasting from 6 months to 1 year. Extensions should be moved up every 6-8 weeks to remain seamless within the natural hair.
Caring for your NBR extensions is simple. NBR extensions allow for washing, drying, and styling your hair normally and you can swim and sweat without worry. NBR extensions work with all hair care and styles, up or down, and you’ll likely forget they are there at all!
The number of rows you’ll need depends on your natural hair and your desired results. For added fullness only, most clients need one row. If you’re looking for fullness and length, we typically recommend two rows. For clients with shorter hair who want both fullness and length, three rows are usually needed to ensure a seamless blend between your natural hair and the extensions.
NBR hair extensions should be repositioned every 6-8 weeks depending on your hair’s density and texture. At each maintenance appointment, your extensions will be removed, re-colored and re-installed for perfect blending and comfort at all times.
