Curl Coach. Crown Advocate. Confidence Restorer.
I'm Kristy Hyde-more than a curl stylist. I'm a mother of curly-hair children, a salon owner, and a curl educator with over 2 decades of professional experience helping people across Greenville SC and beyond feel seen in their texture.
Rooted in the Gullah heritage of the low country sea islands, I didn't just study natural hair or curls, I live them. From braids to blowouts to extensions and natural resets, I've spent my life helping every texture feel at home.
I'm certified in Brazilian Blowouts, The Curl Conquering Method, Forever Curls, Hotheads Extensions, and advanced blonding techniques on textured hair. From tight coils to soft waves, I believe your curls deserve more than just a routine, they deserve care, confidence, and coaching that meets you where you are.
My Story
I didn't grow up knowing how to take care of my hair or tame my embarrassing frizz. I had to learn how to embrace mine on my own. Watching my son's curl pattern shift over time made this journey even more personal.
After two decades behind the chair, I know how frustrating it feels to be overlooked or misunderstood in the hair salon. That's why I created Carolina Curl Decode- to help every texture & curl feel seen, celebrated, and supported in a professional space designed just for you.
