Do or Dye

we have the coolest clients!

Hello, I’m Kevin Abad, the owner of Do or Dye. I have worked in the hair industry for 20 years, beginning when I was only 19 years old. I am a certified Schwarzkopf Master Colorist and have had some training in New York City. I love cutting hair so I’m always looking for new techniques to improve my skills. I also have a lot of fun with color and I try my best to keep up with the trends. I’d have to say, though, my absolute favorite part of this job are my clients, my people. I cherish the connections and relationships I’ve made along the way. I’ve shared countless laughs and tears with so many of my loyal clients and that what makes it all worth while. The people of Lakeland have been so good to me and I’m honored to open this salon and finally be able to give them an experience they’ve been waiting for and deserve.

I decided to open Do or Dye because of all of the hardships I have experienced in previous salons. I wanted this salon to be different, better. Do or Dye is a salon by stylists, for stylists. By creating a beautiful, modern, elegant, feminine space with top-of-the-line amenities, our stylists are able to offer an elevated experience to their clients.

I didn’t do all this alone. Jason Ellis, my best friend, housemate, and business partner plays a vital role in making Do or Dye a dream come true. I am so thankful he has my back and continues to push me to become, not only the best version of myself but, more business minded and successful.
We are so grateful for the overwhelming support the community of Lakeland has given us at Do or Dye. Thank you all.
