About the Book
Every haircut tells a story. This is mine.
For more than twenty years, Liz King has lived her life behind the chair—shaping curls, coloring dreams, and listening to the quiet truths people share when they sit down and let a stylist into their world.
In Beyond the Mirror, Liz takes readers from her early days in cosmetology school to becoming an American Board Certified Haircolorist, curl specialist, and co-owner of a thriving salon. With warmth and honesty, she explores the real science behind healthy hair, the power of pH and color theory, and the soundtrack that carried her through joy, grief, growth, and the everyday magic of the beauty industry.
Through client stories, industry lessons, and deeply personal reflections, Liz uncovers the courage, connection, and transformation that happen far beyond the mirror’s edge.
For stylists, clients, and anyone who believes in the beauty of becoming, Beyond the Mirror is a love letter to the craft, the community, and the moments that change us.
Where passion meets purpose—and every story begins behind the chair.
