Edible Monterey Bay RINGLETS & ROOTS: Meet the Curl coach

Edible Monterey Bay

When you’ve been in an industry for more than 30 years as Kristen King has, you learn a few things along the way. There are two lessons she’s taken to heart: First, embracing the miracle of natural curls, and secondly, using natural and organic products to protect and nourish hair. King, who calls herself “a curl coach,” said that most stylists don’t know what to do with naturally curly or wavy hair, and many just want to straighten it. However, working with natural curls and making them look their best is not only healthier for hair, but also for peace of mind.

Kristen King credits her mother for starting her on a career path as a hair stylist, salon owner and educator. “Mom had straight hair,” the owner of Ringlets and Roots in Salinas recalls. “Mom made a mess of me as a kid. That’s probably why I became a stylist – she was so bad at it.” For people with curls, the tumble of emotions just before a simple haircut is just about the same as, say, jumping from a plane and then realizing you forgot to strap on a parachute. “They come in here scared to death,” says King of first-time curly-haired clients.
