Kristin knew, at a very young age, that she wanted to be a hairstylist.  Growing up in a military family, she was born in the Panama Canal Zone, and lived in many different states and other countries. After settling down in San Diego and finishing college, she went to Cosmetology school in Oceanside. After graduation, she wasted no time in building an extensive clientele at her own salon, “Salon Nolas.” From there she became an Artistic Director for Redken, and traveled the globe teaching and attending educational seminars. In between these seminars, she still managed to attend to her clientele, as well as continuing to educate her assistants. After she felt she’d reached her maximum creative potential in La Jolla, she decided to pursue another dream and “Reach for the Stars!”  It was time to face the challenge of the very competitive styling world of Los Angeles. She wanted to become a celebrity hairstylist.
