Hey there! I’m Erin, a licensed cosmetologist with over 20 years of experience, and I’m here to make you feel like the absolute queen you are.

Rebuilding my confidence through hair wasn’t just empowering...

I started my career in Scottsdale, Arizona, mastering the art of hair extensions and color at a hair replacement center. That experience taught me not only the technical skills but also the emotional impact hair has on self-confidence. When I moved to San Antonio, my career took a vibrant turn. I became a master colorist with Goldwell Hair Color, traveling the country and teaching stylists all the latest global trends. One life-changing class with the legendary bridal stylist Sharon Blain shifted my focus—I knew bridal hair was my next chapter.
Fast forward to today, I’ve worked with hundreds of brides, trained with the best in the industry, and honed my craft to create dream-worthy wedding day looks. Whether it’s soft, romantic waves or intricate updos, I pour my heart into every style because I know how much these moments mean.
Learning, creating, and connecting with incredible people like you is my passion. This isn’t just a job—it’s my calling, and I feel so blessed to wake up every day and do what I love. Let’s make some magic together!
I’m Kristen Kay Shea, and I’m so proud to be one of the founders of Prim & Powder, a beauty service that’s been making magic happen across Texas since 2013. What started as a two-person partnership has grown into an incredible team of freelance artists, and I’m beyond honored to see us recognized as one of the top hair and makeup companies in the state.

My passion is enhancing natural beauty and creating polished, timeless looks that feel like the best version of you.

For me, beauty isn’t just about how you look; it’s about how you feel. Empowering my clients to radiate confidence is what drives everything I do, and I’m committed to setting the standard for excellence in this industry.
