In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, Chris—a talented blonde specialist and salon owner—takes us on the journey from a kid colouring hair with permanent markers to running a successful, community-focused salon.

 

Chris opens up about the challenges and rewards of becoming a specialist in a world that told her she couldn't, the intense certification processes that left her shaking, and the crucial business lessons she learned before opening her own doors. But this conversation goes far deeper than the chair. Chris reveals the profound, often overlooked role hairstylists play in their clients' mental health, creating a safe space where clients share their most vulnerable moments.

 

Chris has been in the Industry for almost 18 years, and has built an entire career specialising in Blonding!  She was told many times throughout the years that she couldn’t be successful just by doing blonding, but she followed her heart and dreams and opened an Official  Blonding Salon.

 

This is her trademark!

 

She is a certified colourist in two Colour Lines- Redken & Goldwell.

 

She was also a former Educator for Goldwell. She has been reaching other goals outside of this, including BTS of runways, for Major Fashion shows/ Designers who attend Paris Fashion Week / NY Fashion Week.  Most importantly, she is a mom of a beautiful 15-year-old daughter who is my best friend and biggest supporter, which is a huge part of who she is today!
