Meet Kai Watson | Licensed Cosmetologist/Cranial Prosthesis Practitioner/MUA

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

Hi Kai, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
I am a licensed cosmetologist and have been receiving a lot of clients that are wig wearers. Whether it be for cosmetic reasons or medicinal. My clients that wear wigs are mature and do not like “baby hair” and like a more natural easy flowing look. I too am not a fan of it either. I’ve noticed that most wigs that were brought to me were bought online and always needed to be customized for my clients. I’ve also noticed that those wigs were inexpensive and not the best quality because of their budget. Most did not know that their wigs could be covered by insurance if they’re dealing with hair loss. All they needed was to have a prescription from a doctor stating that a “cranial prosthesis” was deemed a necessity. I wanted to help women who come in my chair not only have their wigs look as natural as possible, but to also help their pockets in the interim. I had already been creating wigs. Why not make that my mission?
 

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Rx Cranial Solutions was birthed in 2023 after coming in contact with women dealing with hair loss more than usual. These women are in professional careers, such as doctors, nurses, executives, etc., and want to feel confident in front of their peers.

The wigs that were brought to me by my clients to install were wigs that were bought online and not the best quality. These wigs had to be customized to fit the client’s head, shaped, and styled to their liking. Making the lace look as realistic as possible has always been a task when dealing with unverified vendors. Because of poor quality, these units would not last very long and new units would have to be purchased. Which in turn, they are spending more money than necessary. Although I was able to get the best work done, all of these things became a challenge not only for me, but for my clients.

So, I decided to focus more on wigs and luxury hair extensions. I wanted to be able to service my hair loss clients with custom units specifically for them with the best quality hair! What I’ve come to realize, my clients did not know the difference between good and bad extensions. They just wanted to look fabulous! I wanted to fill that gap. That is how Rx Cranial Solutions was born. For our hair loss clients who a doctor diagnoses, we also accept insurance from certain health insurance companies and working on more!

Rx Cranial Solutions is in a private suite based in Sugar Land, TX. Privacy and one-on-one service for my clients are important to us. We take pride in giving our clients the undivided service they deserve. We not only focus on wigs and extensions, we also cater to nurturing natural hair. Luxury silk presses are what we are known for! Healthy hair is what we aim for, no matter the state of the condition. Looking to get makeup done for a special occasion? We can help you with that as well.

Building any business is never smooth sailing. You will have your obstacles and challenges. So many lessons I’ve learned while creating this business (although it’s not my first go’round). The main thing is patience and blocking out skepticism. Focus on what your vision is and enjoy every process of it! Just move in with your passion!

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.
I would DEFINITELY take them to my favorite soul food/cajun spot in Rosenberg, TX called Mamie G’s! On top of them having amazing food, drinks and service is exceptional! Certain nights they will have a DJ and open the floor for dancing.

I am a Juneteenth baby and I celebrated my birthday there last year. A time to be had!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
WOW! There are a few that I’d like to give a Shoutout to, besides God for hearing my cries and my husband Justin Watson for always having my back, even when it didn’t make sense. But, I will start with these two:

1. Mrs. LaTonia Kent owner of “Exceptional Wellness, Inc.” for her mentorship and guidance throughout my journey. She sees my vision and supports me 1000%. She is the reason Rx Cranial Solutions can move forward. She deserved to be recognized!

2. Mrs. Roshyn L. Lewis founder of “Phenomenal Women Empowerment Organization”. If you were to look up the meaning of “Heart of Gold”, her face would be right next to it. She is the epitome of what sisterhood looks like. As a child and during her adulthood, she has faced many challenges. But has never allowed any of it to get in the way of being that bridge for someone else. She is such a great support system for me and for many other women.

Support is more than just saying “If you need me I’m here”. It’s more of an action without asking. These women exemplify that.
