The Why Behind the Brand: Kris’ Story, Passion, and Purpose
Meet Kris—a hair-obsessed, family-loving, farm-living, Jesus-following mama based just outside of Nashville, TN. With over 17 years of expertise in extensions and color, Kris has spent her career perfecting the art of transformation, helping women feel absolutely gorgeous and confident in their own skin.
At The Mane Atelier, Kris specializes in multiple extensions methods and custom color, crafting looks that feel effortless yet polished—like you woke up that way, but better. For Kris, it’s never just about the hair; it’s about the woman in the chair. It’s about listening deeply, seeing her vision, and using her skills to bring that vision to life.
The Heart of Her Craft
Hair has been Kris’ passion for over 20 years, but what fuels her work isn’t just the beauty of a fresh set of extensions or the perfect shade of blonde. It’s the moment her client sees herself in the mirror and thinks, “Yes, that’s me. That’s how I want to feel.”
Kris believes that hair is a reflection of confidence and identity—a way to reclaim your story and celebrate who you are. From new moms rediscovering their glow to women ready to step into their next chapter, she sees each transformation as a chance to honor the woman beneath the hair.
A Life Rooted in Faith and Family
Beyond the salon, Kris’ life is grounded in faith and family. She’s married to her best friend, raising two sweet kiddos who inspire everything she does. She’s half Sicilian (pasta nights are a must!), lives the farm life surrounded by furry and feathered friends, and loves exploring the outdoors.
For Kris, hair may be her craft, but it’s her faith and her family that guide her every step. Her mission? To pour that same love and intentionality into every appointment—so that each guest leaves not just looking beautiful, but feeling seen, heard, and celebrated.
The Why That Drives It All
Kris’ why is simple: She wants every woman in her chair to feel like the best version of herself. Because when you’re confident in your hair, you’re ready to take on the world—and Kris is here to make sure you feel nothing less than unstoppable.
