Christina was born with the passion and talent for doing hair. From the beginning, she always knew she wanted to be a hairdresser. Some of her earliest, influential memories stem from watching the television show “Jem and the Holograms”. It featured outrageous fashion and hair, inspiring her own current pink hair.
After graduating from Martin’s College of Cosmetology in Milwaukee, Wisconsin more than 15 years ago and currently owning her salon of seven years, she continues to focus on strengthening her knowledge and skills within the industry.
Her constant pursuit of knowledge continues to improve and refine her craft through advanced education as often as possible. Christina’s past education includes courses with Sam Villa, Phillip Wilson, Candy Shaw, and Martin Parsons. Although her love of hair is all-encompassing, dressing hair is where the heart of her intense passion lies. Dressing the hair pushes her creativity, materializes her vision, and completes her cuts and colors. Seeking out the best of knowledge in this focus, she found Sharon Blain. Over the last few years she has taken Sharon Blain’s Bootcamp, Masterclass, and online bootcamp, traveling the world with Sharon Blain and her education. After witnessing the magic and passion within Sharon that resonated within herself, it clicked. Christina was able to see the importance of Sharon Blain Education.
From this, she has gained the skills to dress the hair with beautiful, long-lasting results and is sought out by clients for their bridal, editorial, and other varied hairdressing needs. With her love for hairdressing combined with her passions for traveling, connecting with others, and learning about different cultures, she has discovered her deep appreciation and love for educating.
In the future, she plans to continue to better herself personally and professionally, as well as sharing the vitality of the Sharon Blain Education to others.
