How We Got Started
Our Story
I STARTED DEFINING LOOKS TO GIVE WOMEN A PLACE WHERE THEY CAN COME TO FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT CHOOSING A WIG OR HAIRPIECE.
Wigs and hairpieces are no longer just for people with hair loss or medical conditions. It is now widely accepted as the new accessory in this modern time. A wig or a hairpiece can now be worn with style and confidence, just like choosing that pair of shoes or purse to match the outfit for the day.

Deborah Byrd
Deborah specializes in family hair care and welcomes men, women, and children of all ages. Understanding a client’s needs is very important, especially if they have a busy family life and need a hairstyle or cut they can easily maintain.
Understanding Client Needs
As a graduate of Lafayette Beauty Academy, I have been a hair stylist for 30+ years. I enjoy the different people I have the pleasure of meeting in this industry. Understanding a client’s needs is very important, especially if they have a busy family life and need a hairstyle or cut they can easily maintain. I also had the pleasure of working with a Korean hair stylist for a year and a half and became very skilled in Asian hair care.
I continue my education in hair cutting techniques, colors, and regular/spiral perms to stay current with the trends while maintaining my skills in classic hair care as well. I am experienced in several different color lines and specialize in gray/resistant coverage and vibrant color while maintaining the health and integrity of the hair.
Every appointment is important to me as well as my clients, and I truly understand that life has its unpredictable moments. If you are unable to keep your appointments, a 24-hour notice would be greatly appreciated for cancellations. This gives me the opportunity to fill that time slot. There will be a 50% cancellation fee for no call/no shows to compensate for the lost revenue.
Also, being on time is not only considerate, but it’s very important because it not only affects my schedule, it affects the schedule for every client on my appointment book. If you are running late due to traffic, car trouble, etc., I can usually accommodate. However, there will be moments where I may have to reschedule your appointment if my time slots will not allow flexibility.

Rachel Rose
You will usually see me behind the desk or in the wig room helping clients. I have had on-the-job training, learning about the wigs from the owner. I am also certified in Wigs for Kids. I enjoy helping people and being there for the clients that walk through our doors.
I grew up here in Lafayette and moved away for a while to support my husband who was in the military. I have worked in childcare, in the school corporations as a paraprofessional, and I’ve also worked with children with special needs as an ABA therapist. I work the front desk 4 days a week and take any wig consultations during that time. I found myself working here at Defining Looks since it’s a family-owned business, and I work for the best mother-in-law you could ask for.
I graduated from McCutcheon High School before getting my Associates Degree in Early Childhood Education. I’m married to David Rose, and we have two children, Calen and Colton. We also have our four-legged family members that enjoy our company. In my free time, I love enjoying spending time with family, taking trips, scrapbooking and hanging out with our dogs.

I'm a certified wig consultant through HairUWear educational classes I took in Chicago. I am also certified with Wigs for Kids as a consultant to help children receive a free wig.
I graduated from Bryon High School in Bryon, MI in 1978. I moved to the Lafayette area in 1984 when I married my husband Dale. We have 3 boys: Brad, Dave and Grant. I have three wonderful daughters-in-law that I adore: Jennifer, Rachel and Allison. And I have 7 grand children that I also love and adore. I enjoy watching them grow into beautiful young people—they all have their own specific personalities. I enjoy exercising at Human movement, reading, spending time with my family, relaxing by the pool, and traveling. I have visited Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland and loved each place—but Australia was my favorite.
I live my life by the saying, “Always be open to learning something new every day.”
