Price chose the first name Kirsten for her stage name because it is the name of her best friend. She has stated that, as a child, she wanted to be a model on The Price Is Right, which is how she came up with the last name Price. She began her adult career doing nude modelling and stripping. Her first two scenes were in Dressed for Sex for Original Sin Films and Wet Teens 7 for Simon Wolf Productions. She eventually signed a contract with Wicked Pictures in 2005. She also competed in Miss Hawaiian Tropic pageants before entering the adult film industry in 2004.
