A sanctuary created especially for you…

In the heart of Nashville, a revolutionary salon was born—a haven for those who dared to defy the ordinary. This is the extraordinary tale of Kinky Rootz Salon, where I, Kristi Mefford, transformed a vision into a movement seeking to celebrate individuality and empower black women to embrace their true selves.

Kinky Rootz was a dream I shared with my grandmother about being a different type of stylist. It became more than a salon; it evolved into a sanctuary adorned with art and statues that whispered tales of our African culture and history. Here, kinks and coils are transformed into beautiful masterpieces, turning the salon into a living gallery, a visual celebration of the inherent beauty in our diversity.

The rhythmic hums crafting coils into unique works of art fill the air, creating an atmosphere where laughter and stories are interwoven. In the heart of Nashville, Kinky Rootz Salon transcended the ordinary salon experience; it became a space for eccentric hairstyles and for those who carried the weight of societal norms. Here, unconventional styles weren't just accepted—they were embraced and celebrated. Intricate locs with vibrant hues embedded in curls echoing the diversity within our community, I emerged as more than an artist; I became a storyteller, weaving narratives and affirmations into every hairstyle.

Families and friends discovered a gathering place that supported their courage to be different. The salon became a catalyst for life transformations, instilling confidence and fostering a sense of belonging for those yearning for a salon that nurtured their uniqueness.

As Kinky Rootz Salon blossoms in the heart of Nashville, it continues to emerge as a beacon of inspiration, empowering black women to embrace authenticity in every facet of their lives. It is a salon and a living testament to the beauty of being exactly who you are. Kinky Rootz isn’t merely a place for hair; it is a movement, an ode to individuality and celebration, all guided by me, Kristi.

Kinky Rootz is a dynamic force and a living tapestry that interweaves threads of resilience, self-love, and the beauty of being unapologetically you! Join the natural hair movement and discover the beauty within you at Kinky Rootz Salon.
