By offering such libations, Mr. Charles is sure to become the toast of the town. He honed his pampering skills by serving celebrity clients for more than 15 years at his California salon in the Four Seasons Santa Barbara. Actress Katie Holmes, supermodel Naomi Campbell and comedian Dennis Miller are just a few of his famous regulars.
Dallas' own bold-faced names discovered Mr. Charles while summering on the West Coast. They invited him to visit them upon their return to keep their coifs in the style to which they'd become accustomed. Soon the Dallas salon was born.
The transition to serving North Texas clients has been an easy one, he says.
"Women in Dallas are very cultured," he says. "They know style and they know how to dress."
Kevin Charles Salon Dallas is the first and only L'Oréal-approved color center in Texas. "We were hand-picked by L'Oreal Paris to represent them at the highest level," Mr. Charles says.
