I love painting hair as my colourful canvas!
Hi, I'm Kristina!
Allow me to introduce myself… I am a multiple award-winning Hair Colourist and Educator for Hairdressers. My pronouns are she/her/hers. I live in Sydney, Australia with my partner Jaz with our fur baby Florence.
I divide my (professional) time between working on clients behind the salon chair and teaching classes of my own design to help Hairdressers & Salon Owners elevate their craft.
My favourite Haircolours to paint are reds, coppers, blondes and transformations (also known as colour corrections in the biz). I’ve been teaching my unique approach to haircolour for 20+
years, including for some of the industry's “big wigs” and have taught thousands of hairdressers in Australia, the UK, Sweden, New Zealand, Canada, Asia and across the United States of America both online and at in-person education events.
I help my salon clients achieve their dream hair colour and my hair students become fearless formulators and expert hair painters that slay all things red!
