Hi, I'm Krista
Real hair, Real Conversations, real You.
I'm tucked inside Ameri-cutz in downtown Lockport, and when you sit in my chair it is just the two of us. No assistants, no rushing, no being passed off halfway through.
I ask a lot of questions. About your hair, your routine, how much time you actually have in the morning. Then we build something together that you can recreate at home.
And this chair is for everyone. Bring the kids. Bring your husband. Come in before prom, before your wedding, or just because it has been too long.
"It is not always easy to find someone who listens and delivers so precisely, but Krista absolutely nailed it."

Came in for my daughter's hair cut and bang trim. Krista was so kind and knowledgeable! She made my daughter feel very special. Kept checking with her if the cut is going how she herself wants it. Cut and bangs turned out beautifully. Definitely will be our go to for her cut!

Krista is awesome. I get my haircut from her every 3 to 4 weeks and she knows exactly what length I like to keep it at and how I want it styled. She also will trim my beard and clean up my eyebrows. 5/5 stars.

Confirmed Booksy Client
I had such a great experience with Krista at AmeriCutz! She was able to fit me in for a same-day appointment, which I really appreciated. From the moment I sat in her chair, I could tell she truly cared about getting everything just right. She paid close attention to every detail, took her time, and made sure to understand exactly what I was looking for. The end result was perfect — exactly what I had in mind, if not better. It is not always easy to find someone who listens and delivers so precisely, but Krista absolutely nailed it. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and attentive hairstylist.
