Pressed Roots Houston

Pressed Roots was founded in 2020 by Piersten Gaines, a Harvard MBA who experienced firsthand how standard salons fail textured hair care needs. Inspired to merge boutique service with deep hair expertise, she launched a salon concept rooted in consistency and cultural competence. Since then the brand has raised over $3 million from investors including Naomi Osaka, Howard Schultz’s foundation, and Slauson & Co..

Pressed Roots has flipped the script on how textured hair is treated in salon spaces. The brand brings a curated, modern salon experience made for coils, curls, and kinks. Their signature service? The Silk Press—done with science, care, and the kind of professionalism that makes you want to rebook on the spot.

From Dallas to Houston to Plano and Arlington, each location carries the same DNA: licensed stylists trained in healthy heat styling, protective hair care, and respectful, empowering service. No guesswork, no rushing, and definitely no heat damage. Just sleek results and high vibes in a salon built with you in mind.
