Follow me:

Kristen is a stylist who has been rocking people’s locks for 30 years. As a second generation hairdresser, she grew up with a salon in her home and loved watching her mom and the relationships she built with people. She started in Iowa and moved to San Francisco in her first years of hairdressing. She is proud to be from Iowa, that is what brought her to Des Moines. She loves to break boundaries in the hair community and help other stylists reach their true potential.

Kristen specializes in haircutting and assisting people in feeling beautiful. When sitting in her chair, you will often hear her talk about the importance of knowing your own hair. Not only does she educate the client about their hair, but she teaches them how to style it as well!

Kristen truly loves people! She loves getting to know people and chatting about their interests. You will often hear Kristen talking to her clients about self-care practices. She believes that mindfulness and self-care are VERY important.

One thing you will ALWAYS hear her talking about is music. This is Kristen’s superpower! Her love for music connects her to all the people that she meets throughout her days.
