Affectionately referred to as “Kinzy” and/or “Kinz” by her family, friends and clients, Mckinnsey has been both “officially” and “unofficially” perfecting her craft for years. The oldest of four girls, Mckinnsey began her “unofficial” styling career helping her younger sisters dress, style their hair, and perfect their make up every day. This began cultivating a passion for helping people match their inner beauty by realizing their outer beauty.

Before following her heart into cosmetology, Mckinnsey spent several years pursuing a Civil Engineering degree, which helped build a foundation for creating precision looks for her cuts and colors that reflect both personality and lifestyle. She believes that hair is self-expression and that the perfect hairstyle can be life-changing.

Mckinnsey began her professional career at Grace Salon Spa, an Aveda concept salon in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, where she continued to learn and advance her cutting and styling techniques for the past 13 years. She cemented her success as a stylist there as she built a steady clientele of the area’s most discerning individuals and families. Mckinnsey is a multifaceted master stylist with impeccable attention to detail and who takes absolute pleasure in accommodating all her clients’ needs. Genuine honesty and sincerity have helped transform many clients into life-long friends.
