Who Is Kallmekris? From Hairdresser to Skits

I'm Kris Collins, and on TikTok, YouTube and everywhere else I go by Kallmekris. This is my merch store, so here's the short version of how a hairdresser from British Columbia ended up with a shop full of hoodies and tees.

Where am I from?

I was born on July 1, 1996, in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. Before any of the skits, I worked as a hairdresser.

How did the skits start?

In April 2020, COVID-19 shut hairdressing down for me, and I left it. On April 9, 2020, I registered on TikTok. My very first video was a lip-sync of a line from Step Brothers. By July 2020, around my 24th birthday, I had one million followers. Today it's over 50 million on TikTok, and I started uploading to YouTube in 2020 as well.

What do I make now?

Mostly short skits, thirty seconds to a minute, full of characters. Beyond those:

• TV and music videos: I played a YMCA Group Leader in Kids in the Hall (2022) and appeared in Nickelback's "San Quentin" video (2022).
• Awards stage: I presented at the 2023 Juno Awards.
• My own shows: the web series Ginormo! (2023), and the Can't Sleep podcast and ghost-hunting channel with Celina Myers (2025).
• Film: I directed, wrote, produced and starred in the horror film House on Eden, released July 25, 2025.

Why a merch store?

Because the jokes deserve to be worn. The designs here take lines and moods from my world: gothic lettering, pastel daisies and a few things you probably shouldn't say out loud.

Have a look around the shop and find the one that sounds most like you.
