Meet Krystal Hall | Personal Stylist and Plus-Size Influencer

We had the good fortune of connecting with Krystal Hall and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Krystal, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business was to help other women to feel better inside and out! I believe that fashion is a huge part of every day life and can make or break a woman’s confidence. Everyone wants to look good and feel good day in and day out. By being a personal stylist I’m able to do just that. Whether it’s giving someone a completely new look just for a special occasion or helping them with a wardrobe revamp for long-lasting changes. The feeling of helping another woman within the fashion realm brings me true joy!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I realized I wanted to start a business my sophomore year of college (March 2018) while attending North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, NC. I wanted to have a purpose, I wanted to help others and I also wanted to make some extra change. With the help of my mother and close friends, I made the decision to become a personal stylist and name my business after myself, Krys Stylez, because fashion and styling was something I was good at. I styled all of my friends for various occasions and my peers always came to me for fashion advice. Not to mention, I had did plenty of fashion shows on campus during this time and made myself known for my personal style. This left me with a gut feeling that being a personal stylist was the best path for me!

Upon discovering my new passion, I reached out to some of my peers to help me bring my vision to life. My dear friend Kiara Nelson made my very first logo, website and color palette for my business. My mother even invested in my very first business cards, flyers to pass out around campus and pens to leave in my classrooms. I was on the right track!

After carrying out the journey within college, I moved to Charlotte, NC (a newer and bigger city) and I wanted to level up my fashion and styling skills while also attracting loyal clients that could help take my business to the next level. I finally made my business a LLC for more credibility and coverage, rebranded my website, narrowed down my niche to women only and became more consistent on social media and by attending networking events within the city. While I’m still within that transition of leveling up, I have seen so much more growth and progress within my business!

So far, I’m most proud to say that this upcoming February I will be styling someone that will be attending the Grammy’s, I’ve styled a client that was featured on NY and Company’s Instagram story and I’ve also helped several women this year — styling them for business photoshoots, birthday celebrations and more!

Krys Stylez caters to all women no matter their size, age, race or ethnic background through personal styling and creative direction services virtually and in-person if applicable.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting the city, I would take her to the best food spot(s) in the city! She loves to eat (just as much as me!) and would enjoy the simpleness of relaxing and good eats!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
A huge shoutout goes to my mother, Erica Hall and my college roommate, Mikayla Douglas for helping me bring my vision as a personal stylist to life! They truly helped me with planning my business name, creating my first business pens to pass out in class and my first business cards. It’s safe to say they saw the vision right along with me!

As far as support in general though, both my mom and my dad, Antowin Hall, alongside my Godmother, Rosa Myrick, truly invest in me day in and day out and make sure I’m always supported and uplifted in regards to my talents and dreams!
