Kris - Salon Owner (she/her) Color Specialist

Master Colorist specializing in salt & pepper gray hair transformations, global blonding, color correction, and complex color transformations.  I also do standard color, balayage and highlighting services.  I work with a full time assistant who does your blow dry, shampoo and toning which allows me to charge less.

I thrive on big change with all hair textures and find my greatest fulfillment helping women project strength and confidence through their appearance.  I can’t wait to work with you!

Consultations with me can be booked online. Please call or text the salon to schedule a color service with me.

My Specialty Services are priced at $250/hour and require a separate 1 hour, $100 pre-paid consultation on a day prior to the color session.  Unlike our other consultations, my specialty color service consultations are not applied toward the service. They are part of the service, scheduled on a day prior to the color appointment.

Schedule a  Specialty Color Service  or call the salon and we’ll do it for you.

Specialty Color can take as little as two hours or as many as 6 or more. It depends on the hair you arrive with, what condition it’s in and your end goal.  If the change you want isn’t achievable in one visit I’ll let you know that during your consultation.

I prefer to do consultations in person so I can see your hair under ideal lighting and touch it to assess it’s integrity. That said, if you are coming from out of state or from a distant city and a separate trip for a consultation isn’t feasible, please call to schedule an online consultation.
