So i have some nasty hair...hard to control, frizzy, thinning, has been compared to african american hair (though i am caucasian), and just never makes me feel great. i have had so many bad hair cuts in the past, the most memorable was the cut that i got before going to europe for a summer...i spent that summer in hats. Now kelton does my hair. let me tell you, most people i know think that i am insane for traveling two hours to get a hair cut. however, it is definitely worth it. Kelton not only knows what he is doing.....trained through vidal sasson, one of the best programs.....he is all about making his client look and feel their best. Since my hair is a bit difficult to manage, he tells me what product to use and how to use it. sometimes he even will give me a sample just so that i can try different products to decide which i like best. When my hair was long he took the time to show me how to use a flat iron the proper way so i would always have that "right out of the salon" look. long story short, i don't think that i will be looking for a new stylist for a while. why go anywhere else? Kelton knows his stuff, he makes you feel amazing and is more interested in what you want and making you feel 1000% when you leave his chair! THANKS FOR ALL OF IT! read more

When a person looks for something that doesn't contend with their daily appearance, they look for something or someone of style and taste. Traditionally, finding someone that can measure up to your individual needs and wants can be difficult. On that note, I've always searched for someone that can cut my hair exactly the way I want it. In the past I've often taken pictures from different magazines and shown to a variety of stylists to try and give a better sense of what I was looking for, however, my want always ended up being spared. In Kelton's case, you can tell every client is satisfied and their individual requests are met. In my instance, I was particularly satisfied by the way he trimmed the back of my head and neck. Most stylists cut and line the bottom of your hairline, however, in Kelton's case, he fades the back of your head making it look natural and stylish. No matter what you're looking for, Kelton is the person you can trust. I would highly recommend him as a stylist! read more

So I've only lived in Milwaukee for 2 years and I've received salon services in Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. But when I moved here, I turned immediately to Kelton for my hair stylist! He had done such an insanely awesome job on my hair back in 2003 that I HAD to go back to him! Kelton is by far the best hair stylist I have ever had. He has extensive training with THE top salon programs in the country, and his eye for style and color is extraordinary, if not unprecedented. He uses and sells only the best salon products on the market. And his prices are so reasonable for such a MAJOR hair stylist! He can take your hair from a dull and drab ZERO to a ridiculous over-the-top gorgeous head of hair in a matter of hours! OMG! Kelton is THE go-to hair stylist in the greater Milwaukee area, and rivals those of any major cities! AH-MAZING! Don't miss out on the opportunity for the best salon experience you've ever had ~ Book with him today!! read more

I travel the globe with my career, and I am consistently asked, regardless of where I am, who cuts/colors my hair. Well, lucky for all of you Milwaukee locals, my go-to guy here in town for expert cut, color and styling is Kelton, at Salon Divine. Kelton's critical eye selects the perfect haircolor shade to suit you, and he then creates amazingly natural highlights & lowlights that emphasize the movement and texture of his precision haircuts. Kelton innately knows how to create a style that works with not only your particular hair type & texture, but that fits your look and your lifestyle. His cuts require very little effort to maintain, and they grow out beautifully -- evidence of his intensive Vidal Sassoon training at work. I cannot recommend Kelton's work highly enough...he deserves all five stars that Yelp offers, and then some! read more

Kelton is as good as it gets! Thank you for listening to me and finding just the right color and cut. It doesn't stop there. I know when I go to Kelton to get my hair done I can walk out of the salon and be ready for anything. My hair is dried and styled. He not only did a superb job on my color and cut but also took the time to teach me how to style it for future days. I felt confident and ready to roll. Thank you read more

I'm never stepping FOOT in this salon again. So sad bc my previous experience was wonderful. I…read morebooked a 9am w/ Peco, who is the reason why I won't return: 1. Was 25 minutes late & didn't start braiding until 9:45am-10am. I was initially okay with this, as she was getting breakfast. However, upon her arrival, she said she arrived early & had decided to leave since there was a few minutes until my appt. The restaurant was on the way to the salon. Why she decided to waste 25 minutes of my time instead of getting breakfast on the way is just baffling? 2. Quoted $150-180 starting price on the phone for medium knotless. This went up to $280 at the salon, which included bringing the hair (she complimented the hair at first, and then said it was "bad hair" at the end ). She was going to charge me $300, but since she was late, she discounted it to $280. $250 would've been fairer, especially since she didn't touch my head until 10am. Given the state of my braids, I wish I would've went somewhere else because this was not worth $280. Some of the braids were curled prematurely, leaving a HUGE curl. Photos attached. If she hadn't been so behind on appts, she might've done better. 3. Booked a 10am & called them, asking them to come in at 1pm instead. Said her sister was supposed to help w/ my hair & needed to take an hour-long bus to get to the salon. This changed to "I'll call you when she's close" when 10am declined the time change. She proceeded to not call for over an hour, and 10am had to call HER for an update. She proceeds to tell client to come in, and they arrive before sister. Peco asks the 10am (btw, it's 12pm & 2hrs since their OG appt time) if they would be willing to meet sister at a different suite. The same sister that was supposedly on the way over an hour ago. Client declines and Peco immediately gets on them w/ "Ma'am you do not have to be upset." 10am requests pricing info, and Peco tells them to wait until sister arrives. 10am gets so upset at the utter lack of customer service that they walk out, and Peco FOLLOWS THEM to the parking lot. She proceeds to complain about them for the remainder of my appt. 4. Extremely rough with my hair, despite me showing visible pain. I actually had to comb out MY OWN HAIR because she refused to stop roughly pulling it out of the hair tie. I've NEVER had to comb my own hair during a hair appt. That solidified that I was never going to return. 5.Very push w/ my head. She was unable to stand due to her boot, and needed me to maneuver every which way. She repeatedly said that I was "too focused on my book and my phone that I'm not paying attention to my hair." I'm sorry, isn't that your job?! She complained that the appointment took her so long BECAUSE I wasn't able to keep my head the way she wanted it, despite being uncommunicative and trying to force my head in the position she wanted it. 6. Was on her phone the ENTIRE time. She didn't braid my hair for 10-15mins, because she was showing the person on the phone her boot? Her phone died and she spent another 10mins looking for a charger. For someone who complained that I wasn't focused, she certainly was not paying attention to my hair. I think the time she wasted yapping on the phone, looking for a charger, and chasing disgruntled customers is what took her so long, but I digress. 7. FORGOT that she had a 1pm appt booked. He didn't get serviced until 2:30pm because she wasn't done with my hair. If 10am had agreed to switch the time, she would've double-booked herself & been none the wiser. 8. Disclosed that she was not allowed to use Zelle anymore because she did not open a business bank account, and the bank revoked her access. Actually insane for a business owner to tell a client this, but unprofessional is the name of the game here! 9. Demanded I pay BEFORE service was completed, spewing racist justifications that black women come & get their hair done, only to run without paying. She said she can sometimes tell who by how they look. Absolutely disgusting. Find another place. This one ain't worth it at all.
