In 2020, Piersten Gaines established Pressed Roots due to the limited options for textured haircare. This salon chain focuses on treating and styling coils and kinks, providing a transformative experience beyond mere haircuts and styling.

Gaines’ personal journey and understanding of the challenges faced by those with natural hair have driven the success of Pressed Roots. She has broken barriers in venture capital funding and led a movement of empowerment and education in the beauty industry.
