The beauty parlor scenes in Emerald City left a lasting impression, sparking my desire to create stunning hair that tells a story and creates an effortless look for my clients.

  • Christina Quillen

    With two decades of experience as a hairstylist and colorist, I’ve built my career on the belief that hair is one of the most powerful forms of self-expression.  My passion lies in helping clients not only love the way they look, but also feel confident, vibrant, and authentically themselves.

    I specialize in advanced color techniques, from dimensional blondes and seamless balayage to corrective color transformation and bold, creative shades.  Every head of hair tells a different story, which is why I take the time to truly listen during consultations- understanding your vision, your lifestyle, and your goals before crafting a look that is uniquely yours. 

    Education and growth are at the heart of my craft.  Over the years, I’ve trained with top industry educators and continuously seek out the latest techniques, trends, and innovations.  Including but not limited to the Master Color Expert certificate from Wella.  This allows me to bring fresh, modern, artistry to the chair while still honoring classic, timeless beauty.

    For me, hairstyling is more than just hair- it’s about connection, confidence, and celebrating individuality.
