The Kinky Rootz Experience….

Kristi Dunkley is a trendsetter, professional, and the originator of Kinky Rootz. Kinky Rootz was created for those who have had a negative impact with chemicals or who just enjoy wearing their hair natural. Being a creative inspiration of our enriching African lineage has set her apart from the rest.

Kinky Rootz was created by owner and sole operator Kristi Dunkley in October 2004 after her licensure as a Natural Hair Stylist. She opened up her very own exclusive and trendy salon in May 2005 that has grown into a household name. Kinky Rootz is a Natural Hair Salon that uses no chemicals (with the exception of color) to create various artistic “kinky” or natural styles for men, women, and children. An innovator who remains at the top of her game in a thriving industry, Kinky Rootz Natural Hair Salon is setting the standard for natural beauty.

Many people have misconstrued views on what it means to wear your hair natural. Natural is defined as “not affected, not artificial…like real life”. Kinky Rootz Natural Hair Salon was created to revitalize individuals’ with “chemical free tresses” aiding in reaffirming and empowering their unique attributes, building self-esteem and self-worth, and liberating them from the socially imposed restraints regarding natural hair, thus originating the name and logo….

Kinky Rootz symbolizes the “kinky” or “coily” texture embedded in African American tresses. Clients of Kinky Rootz are diverse, unique, and eccentric. When you enter the salon, it will feel like home. “I try to make everyone feel at ease when they meet me. Don’t feel intimidated or ashamed of your kinks and coils. Terms like nappy and kinky are used in a positive light because everyone should not be afraid to express themselves…naturally.” Says Kristi. When you come into the salon you will be surrounded by devoted clients who will ensure you that you are not alone in your journey of empowerment. You will meet individuals who take pride in their natural elegance.

An artist and perfectionist of her craft, every client is treated as if they were a canvas. Molding and developing the most intricate styles for their persona and lifestyle is my ultimate goal. Consultations allow me the opportunity to assess your goals, frustrations, and lifestyle in order to provide the best quality and professional service. Kinky Rootz offers a standard of distinction and originality when it comes to creating a distinguished style for each client. Healthy hair care is my main focal point.
