+ Keynote speaking
As a globally recognized authority on hair colouring techniques, I travel the world (and Australia!) to share my artistry. From partnering with salon owners to create tailored education for their teams to offering one-on-one training, my goal is to help every hairdresser master the art of hair colour. Through dynamic workshops and engaging content on social and print media, I’m here to inspire both hair industry professionals and consumers with flexible, fun pathways for learning.

My Colourful Journey
My journey started at Sydney's Blondes Brunettes and Redhead's salon, where I trained under the renowned Vidal Sassoon NYC Colour Director Alyson Schoer. This experience, along with my studies in Colour Theory at Sydney’s National Art School, shaped my innovative approach to teaching colour principles.
I continued to expand my expertise as a Master Hair Colour Artist and former Global Ambassador for Redken 5th Ave NYC. Training with top USA Platform Artist Sam Villa and Master Educator Chris Baran in ‘Learner-Focused’ Education methods has enabled me to develop dynamic and impactful educational experiences.
I was also the first Australian hair colourist to launch an industry podcast, ‘Colour Kristina Talks,' which frequently tops the charts across the globe. Additionally, I’ve created the best online course for hair painting redheads and teach both in-person and online events. My mission is to empower hairdressers and colour enthusiasts alike with the skills and confidence to achieve their hair goals.
