Kristen K.

Business Owner

Let’s talk about your hair color!

My expertise in hair coloring & color correction dates back to my education with L’Oreal Professional, NYC. I became a L’Oreal Educator then a Director of Education when moving to California in 1996, heading up the team in Los Angeles & Northern California.

I was scouted by Schwarzkopf, a German color company. I learned that I could transform any color formula from any color company. What an amazing gift. I am grateful for the lessons learned with both companies.

My mission with hair color is to use the most NON– TOXIC products on the market with a WOW factor result. Whether you are looking for a hair color fashion statement or gray coverage with natural end results, set up a consult appointment.
