Kelsey Miller: The St. Louis Stylist Who Styled the Most Talked-About Hair at the Winter Olympics

We know you saw Alysa Liu's halo tree ring hair at the Winter Olympics and completely lost your mind because so did we. Naturally, we needed to chat with the hairstylist behind the iconic look so we could share it with you!Meet Kelsey Miller: hairstylist, lived-in color specialist, and the woman behind Alyssa Liu's viral Olympic halo look. With 15+ years behind the chair, Kelsey specializes in dimensional color and redheads, but recently went viral for stepping WAY outside the box to create the tree ring halo that had the whole internet talking. Based in St. Louis at CopperMain Collective, she's equal parts talented and down to earth. Oh, and she has a mini labradoodle named Crouton, which tells you everything you need to know. 🐾We're talking how a random client lunch turned into the Olympic appointment, what was actually going through her head when she realized who was sitting in her chair, and the moment Alyssa won gold and Kelsey's phone basically exploded. We also get into the real stuff: what it feels like when everyone suddenly has an opinion about your careerhow to stay grounded when things move fast, why saying yes (even when it's a little scary) is honestly just the move.Kelsey has been behind the chair for 18 years and she is still so genuinely excited about it which truly was so inspiring to hear about. This episode felt like catching up with a friend who just had the craziest few months of her life and we got to hear everything.Connect with Kelsey:@kelsey.styles.hairCopper Mane CollectiveConnect with Rooted + Rising:InstagramTikTokYoutube
