Our story

Hi, I'm Kissa

Hairdresser, colour mixer and founder of Illusion Crochet. I blend every shade myself, so you can skip the mixing and go straight to your install.

How Illusion Crochet started

Illusion Crochet started with one blend. I'm Kissa, a certified hairdresser in Sheffield, and I've spent over 15 years doing braids, weaves, illusion crochet and extensions. A client couldn't find her shade anywhere, so I mixed one for her. That mix became Kissa's Signature, and the idea followed naturally: premixed synthetic crochet hair, prepped and ready, so nobody has to buy and blend several packs at home.

I develop and test every shade myself at Hair by Kissa, using the same hair I install for my own clients. Every pack arrives pre-pulled and feathered, with 4 bundles’ worth of hair, enough for a full head in most cases. All that's left for you to do is install it.

I also train hairdressers through my illusion crochet courses, and share what I've learned in our hair guides.

Every so often I post a one-off colour mix in the shop. Want to know more, or have a question? Get in touch.
