Chris started her career as an Aveda Advisor — doing skin care and makeup. She also traveled to New York for a makeup education class with Rudy Miles from Aveda. In 2003, Chris attended Cosmetology School in San Rafael, CA and graduated in 2005. She has attended numerous color, cutting and updo classes with Aveda. She later attended cutting and color classes with Phillip Wilson, Goldwell’s Creative Director, and continued to take advanced classes and workshops. Chris also participated in Dean Roybal’s (Wella) class at bijin.
Chris loves to tailor haircuts and color to fit a client’s lifestyle. “Who wants to spend a lot of time on their hair everyday?” she says. She also loves using a razor and other techniques to create texture and movement.
After acquiring an auto immune disease, Chris left the hair industry for a couple of years to attend a holistic nutrition school and graduated with a health coaching degree. She is passionate about using her health and wellness knowledge every single day because it is key to “looking and feeling your best.”
Fun fact: “I was able to use my health coaching degree to heal myself! And love being back in the hair industry at bijin!”
