Kristina - Hair Artist/salon owner
Kristina is a passionate woman, both in her daily life and in her profession. Rituals exists because of her many passions: for hair, for the industry, for mentoring and educating others and for making people feel good about themselves. With over 24 years experience, she believes that life long learning is the key to remaining innovative. Outside of the bustle of the salon, Kristina loves the simple things: her family, a quiet walk with her dog in the morning and a good game of golf with her husband.
