REAL HAIR. FOR REAL PEOPLE.

FUNDAMENTALS FIRST

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Still Breaking Rules

I’ve spent 34 years behind the chair teaching, learning, and refining the craft. I believe fundamentals never go out of style, shortcuts always catch up to you, and the best hair comes from bringing out the best in your client. Technique creates freedom. The rest is just noise.

Tools, products, and essentials that earn their place.

I'm christopher

The (calm) voice of reason in a loud industry.

I believe good hair starts with paying attention to the individual . Head shape, movement, balance, and restraint matter more than trends ever will. Knowing when to do less is just as important as knowing how to do more. That’s where strong technique shows up.

Education & Salon Development

One-on-one coaching and in-salon training for stylists and salon teams who want stronger foundations, clearer systems, and better execution. This work focuses on technique, structure, and building skills that hold up long after the session ends.

When the going gets weird, 

the weird turn professional.

MATTER

THAT

Here are a few of the incredibly talented hairdressers whose work has inspired me. I’ve worked
and trained with some, and others I’ve never met, but their work speaks for itself. I may not be
the best fit for you educationally, but hopefully you will find someone who resonates with you.
