Krysti Hanson is a dream! She’s a true gem to the Knoxville hair scene. I don’t trust many when it comes to my hair but I trust EVERYTHING Krysti does. She’s professional, her studio is the cutest and she’s very attentive.

Krysti at Serendipity is AMAZING!! My hair has never looked better or felt healthier in my life (and I just turned 40!) since using her♥️ I also trust her with my preteen daughter who absolutely adores her and how comfortable she is when in Krysti’s chair. So thankful to have her here in Fountain City!!
