Curl Stylists
Kristy, Founder, Creative Director & Clinical Trichologist
I also specialize in understanding the causes and cures for hair loss and thinning. I’ve personally undergone PRP (platelet rich plasm) hair restoration therapy for postpartum hair loss. I am currently training to become a certified Trichologist (hair loss treatment specialist) and Phlebotomist so I can perform PRP injection treatments and other hair loss therapies to my clients.
