Beauty, Boldly Done is a one-chair hair and nail studio in south Overland Park, run by licensed cosmetologist Hoshika Jiandani. It sits on West 135th Street, close to US-69 and a short hop from I-435, so clients come from all across the Kansas City metro on both sides of State Line.
Areas with their own page are linked. Everywhere else is listed with its distance, so you can see how far the drive is. Distances are straight-line miles from the studio; by road it's a little more.

Tap water across the metro
Hard water leaves minerals on hair that can dull color, push blonde brassy and make extensions feel coated. Here's who supplies water across the metro and what their own reports say. If no number is listed, check your utility's annual water quality report.
| Area | Water supplier | Hardness (from the utility's report) |
|---|---|---|
| Most of Johnson County (Overland Park, Leawood, Lenexa, Shawnee, Prairie Village, Merriam, Mission, Roeland Park) | WaterOne | About 8 grains per gallon (137 ppm average, 2024 report): hard |
| Olathe, Gardner, De Soto, Spring Hill | Mostly their own city utilities (parts on WaterOne) | See each city's report |
| Kansas City, KS and Edwardsville | Board of Public Utilities (BPU) | 16.4 grains per gallon (280 ppm, 2025 data): very hard |
| Bonner Springs | City of Bonner Springs (parts on BPU) | City says its new plant delivers much softer water |
| Kansas City, MO, plus Raytown, Belton, Raymore and Peculiar (which buy from it) | KC Water, softened at the plant | About 5–6 grains per gallon (about 100 mg/L): moderate |
| Independence | City of Independence, softened well water | About 8 grains per gallon (138.6 mg/L, 2024 report) |
| Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Grain Valley, Grandview, Greenwood, Pleasant Hill | Buy from KC Water, Independence and/or Tri-County Water Authority | See each city's report |
| North Kansas City | City wells | About 7.4 grains per gallon (127 mg/L, 2025 report) |
| Gladstone | City wells | About 6 grains per gallon (104 mg/L, 2025 report) |
| Liberty | City wells | About 12 grains per gallon (209 mg/L, 2025 report): very hard |
| Harrisonville | Harrisonville Lake, city plant | About 8 grains per gallon (135 mg/L, 2025 report) |
| Lawrence | City of Lawrence, softened | Report lists a range; check the current one |
| Riverside, Parkville | Missouri American Water (Parkville partly another district) | See the utility's report |
| Louisburg, Paola | Marais des Cygnes Public Utility Authority | See each city's report |
The Water Quality Association calls 7–10.5 grains per gallon "hard". The fix is the same everywhere: a chelating shampoo every week or two and a gloss between color visits. Here's the full routine.
Getting to the studio
Most of the metro reaches it by highway: I-435 to US-69 south, exit at 135th Street and head west. From the south and Cass County, US-71 / I-49 and I-470 feed into I-435. From western Johnson County, K-10 and K-7 connect to 135th Street. Your maps app will have the best route for traffic.
What people drive in for
Shorter trims are easy to get anywhere. The appointments people cross the metro for tend to be the ones where planning matters:
- Lived-in blonde and balayage, booked with the time it actually takes. Compare balayage and highlights or check what balayage costs in Kansas City.
- Color correction with a free test strand first. Read what box dye correction involves.
- Extensions: K-tip, tape-in or sew-in, matched at a free consultation. See the three methods compared.
- Hair and nails with the same artist: Gel-X, acrylics, gel manicures and hand-painted art.
Prices and appointment lengths are on the services menu.
Weddings anywhere in the metro
For your wedding day, Hoshika comes to you: a trial at the studio first, then on-site styling at your venue with a schedule for the whole party and touch-ups before photos if you want them. Travel fees are set during planning. See bridal hair and the Kansas City wedding hair guide.
