KRISTIN - Salon owner.  Hair Designer.  Husband Gregg of 9 yrs., Stepdaughter Ericca- 16, Son Rece-4, and Daughter Ayria-1. 

     I have a definite passion for fashion!  Love trends!  I am very anal about running on schedule, I hate when people are late!!  I started out in architecture in Cincinnati when I decided that my true passion was not designing buildings - it was hair!!  I especially enjoy creating beautiful hair colors and the exciting challenges of being a business owner!

     I attended the International Academy of Hair and Design in Cincinnati and then moved back home to start my career.  I truly love this profession because I can keep up on the latest fashion trends and there is never a dull moment at our salon!!  There is nothing more satisfying than making your client feel good about themselves and seeing them leave with a smile!!  My ideal weekend is spending quality time with my family and if time allows - working out and shopping.

     I have always had a passion for hair since I was a little girl.  I've been a professional hairstylist for 4 years and enjoy every minute.  The best part of my job is seeing my clients leave with a smile on their face.  In addition to doing hair, I also enjoy doing manicures and pedicures.

     I started my career teaching, then I wanted to fulfill another life long dream.  Making others feel good about themselves by enhancing their appearance and lifting their self-esteem is the #1 reason I come to work everyday.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with husband Brian and our 2 girls.  When I need a break from work and family I scrapbook!  I truly am a "people" person and enjoy the variety of conversations that pass in and our of the salon daily.

     Besides spending time with my family and friends, I truly enjoy the art of shopping!  I believe our line of work gives us an advantage to staying up on the latest fashion trends and there is nothing better than freshly manicured nails in the latest polish.

     In my free time I enjoy playing with my niece and nephews, reading and traveling.  I started out at OSU majoring in accounting, when I realized my true career path was in hair!  I received my degree from AVEDA Institute of Columbus before I moved back home.  I love doing dramatic long to short cuts, however my true love is coloring.

     Being raised in a family of 4 girls gave me a head start in the beauty industry!!  I attended the Ohio State "Spa School" in Columbus and went to work at the Advanced Dermatology and Columbus Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery.  Being an Esthetician is such a fun and rewarding profession.  I love being able to improve my clients skin and confidence at the same time!  I feel very lucky to have a job that I love so much.

     I am so excited to start my career here at identity in may.  I attended OSBA in Lima and interned with the amazing team of Identity girls throughout school and loved every minute!!  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family (especially Lisa, whom is the nail tech here!)  I coach diving for Wapak High School in the winter.  What I love most about doing hair is seeing clients walk out of the salon looking and feeling amazing!!
