ABOUT
Kristen Essaied is a Houston-based stylist with over a decade of technical training and hands-on experience. Her work blends refined color, precision cutting, and an editorial eye shaped by art, fashion, and the people she creates for. Muse Studio was born from this intersection of craft and culture — a space where technique and taste become personal.
THE STORY
Kristen’s process is rooted in intention. Every color, tone, and shape is tailored to the individual — their lifestyle, their features, their aesthetic point of view. She specializes in modern blonding, dimensional color, and clean, structured cuts that grow out beautifully and photograph effortlessly. The goal: hair that feels lived-in, elevated, and unmistakably you.
APPROACH
Trained at Toni & Guy Advanced Academy and further shaped under luxury salon educators at Msalon, Kristen’s foundation is both classic and contemporary. She has continued her education with Wella Professionals, Oribe Hair Care, and Bumble and Bumble in New York, honing a level of expertise that shows in her work.
Today, she brings that mastery to Muse Studio — combining technical excellence with a calm, elevated client experience.
