Finding a reliable stylist is often one of the first practical searches a person makes when they arrive somewhere new. For military families settling into Killeen on a new assignment, it sits right alongside finding a doctor and a grocery store on the list of things that need to get done. The five businesses below represent different specialties, from full-service salon work and makeup artistry to African hair braiding and protective styles, with a range of locations and hours that reflect how varied this community's schedules are. Each one has built a clientele through skill and consistency, which is how a stylist keeps customers in a city where people are always arriving and others are always leaving.
