Kantor & Company owner and master stylist Eileen Kantor has been working in a salon for as long as she can remember. Literally. Eileen's mother ran a salon out of her childhood home. "It was just like the salon in the movie Steel Magnolias- and if you don’t know the movie- go look it up ,"  she says. Eileens’ early life experience was that people were always coming in and out of the house to be styled. It was a little community that happened to be in her home. It is a spirit that she brings into her space at K&CO. 

Since 2003, Eileen has developed her skills, studying the art of precision cutting at the esteemed Vidal Sassoon academies in both Los Angeles and San Francisco. In addition to this education she has attended more color classes with both Aveda and Wella. She also worked at two of Boulder's top-rated salons, Pompadours and Twig, before opening Kantor & Company in 2017.

Eileen’s business model focuses on detailed consultations with every client so she can understand their specific hair type, maintenance goals, and desired look. Her philosophy is that while the cut is the foundation from which she builds each client's look, color is the complement. Eileen works with each of her clients to find the haircut and color that will best empower her client's expression of their personal style. She matches color to skin tone and eye color with precision, which helps her achieve the exact result she is after.

In addition to Vidal Sassoon, Aveda, and Wella, Eileen has studied with experts at American Crew, Redken, Schwartzkopf & Tony and Guy. For more than ten years, she has been an educator, training junior stylists and helping them perfect their craft. She took that excitement for teaching at the secondary level and opened an Apprenticeship style hair styling academy. She is so excited to be offering hairstyling education from the ground up at Kantor & Company Academy.

Whether you're looking for a classic cut and natural color, an edgy, off the runway look, or something in between, Eileen can't wait to see you in her chair for a consultation, and to ultimately help you walk out of Kantor & Company with the hair of your dreams.
