Why book with Kristian

Fast hands, clean parts

Time in the chair adds up to crisp, even parts — and you are not sitting a minute longer than the style needs.

  • 01

    The parts are the point

    Parting is what you see in the mirror for the next six weeks, so it does not get rushed. It is also the thing clients bring up most: “parts are always crispy.”

  • 02

    Your hair history matters

    Recent colour, keratin or bleach changes what your hair can take. Kristian asks before starting so she can pick the safest approach — not after, when it is already too late.

  • 03

    Tell me what you want

    Bring photos. Book a Freestyle and describe the style you have in mind. Special requests are welcome — the ask is just that you raise them before the appointment, not during.

  • 04

    No surprises at the chair

    Every style publishes its price, its sitting time and its add-ons up front. The $25 deposit comes off the total — it is not an extra.

  1. Pick your style

    Browse the menu and check the sitting time and what you need to bring. Not sure? Use the style finder or send a DM first.

  2. Choose a date

    The scheduler shows Kristian’s real availability. Pick the time that works for you.

  3. Send the $25 deposit

    Your spot is held once the deposit arrives by Cash App or Zelle. It is non-refundable and comes off your total.

  4. Get confirmed

    A confirmation follows the deposit, and a reminder lands the day before. The balance is cash at the appointment.

Need to move it? Cancelling or rescheduling needs 24 hours’ notice — use the link in your confirmation email.

Meet your braider

Hi, I’m Kristian

I’m a part-time braider working out of a salon suite in Garland, Texas. Braiding is the part of my week I look forward to — the quiet focus of an install and the moment at the end when someone turns toward the mirror.

Because I take one client at a time, your appointment is yours. No rushing you out of the chair, no splitting my attention across three heads — just fast, careful hands and parts that stay crisp.
