Hi, I’m Kriss, a Master Stylist with 30+ years behind the chair! My career started at the Aveda Institute Minneapolis studying under Aveda’s founder, Horst Rechelbacher. Upon graduating from Aveda, I began working at an Aveda salon in Pittsburgh, PA and remained there for over 28 years. While working in “the Burg,” I had opportunities to train with some of America’s top stylists, often traveling to New York, DC, Toronto and Miami.

Hi! my name is Lavin, I graduated in 2017 from Paul Mitchel Columbia, and have over 6 years of experience. My Favorite AVEDA product is Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing Oil, it’s so light weight that it doesn’t leave your hair greasy or oily looking and smooths down flyaways while adding lots of moisture.
