Meet Kiona Shultz
The Hair Therapist
Hello, Beauties!
Welcome to Beautiful Braids Studio—I’m so excited you’re here! I’m Kiona, your go-to Hair Therapist, and I’m here to help you love your crown and wear it with confidence. Choosing the right stylist is personal—your hair is sacred. That’s why trust, care, and connection are at the heart of everything I do.
My passion for hair started young—at just 5 years old, I was blessed to learn from amazing mentors who taught me the art of braiding, natural hair styling, and hair extensions. That spark never left me, and it continues to fuel everything I do today.
At the age of 39, I returned to college and became a Wisconsin state licensed cosmetologist & cosmetology educator—not just to sharpen my skills, but to expand my ability to teach and empower others. I believe doing someone’s hair is more than just a service—it’s transformational. The way you wear your hair can shift how you see yourself, and that’s powerful.
With over 35 years of hands-on experience, I’ve mastered hairstyling, cutting, coloring, and chemical services. I’m also a cosmetology educator and salon owner, dedicated to sharing the knowledge I’ve gained with others—especially those ready to step into their authentic beauty.
But my journey doesn’t stop at hair. I also hold an Associate Degree in Human Services, and I’ve spent over 20 years empowering individuals through coaching, training, and motivational support. My heart is in helping people rise—with endurance, determination, and joy.
That’s why Beautiful Braids Studio is more than a salon. It’s a space where beauty meets education, therapy, and transformation. Here, we offer not only stunning styles but tutorials and tools that support self-love, self-care, and confidence. Because everyone deserves to feel beautiful inside and out.
Fun fact: My positive energy comes from my faith in God, the love of my amazing husband, and the joy of raising my five incredible children. I’m also passionate about serving the community and have spent years building careers in nonprofit organizations.
Helping people is simply who I am—and here at Beautiful Braids Studio, I can’t wait to help bring your hair fantasy to life… with love, peace, and authenticity.
