Christiana Smith; The Hair Forum LLC: Hairstylist, Color Specialist, and Balayage Enthusiast Hair is as amazing and unique as the individual it belongs to. This idea helped form my passion for hair, education, and people. After beauty school it quickly became apparent that continued education would be vital to my future success. Understanding the latest fads and technology while maintaining the skills to support the popular recycled trends of the past would require ongoing training. You can’t succeed in a constantly evolving industry with a static set of skills. Through 11 years as a licensed cosmetologist this focus has led me to learn from some of the world’s most skilled artists and industry moguls. After my first class, a devotion to learning the latest techniques in color and cutting was born. This desire for knowledge helps me execute my clients’ needs. It has also given me the skills to confidently recommend a personalized look for those who request guidance. My commitment to learning developed into a commitment to teaching, and from that the Hair Forum LLC was created. Teaching my clients to style their hair and demonstrating the value of professional haircare has lasting benefits for us both. I want my clients to leave the salon looking and feeling great, and have that continue until their next appointment. If they are truly aware of which products are best for their hair type and how to properly dry or style their hair they can routinely recreate the same look at home. It gives them the confidence to tackle the dreaded “blow-dry and round brush” and gives them skills to achieve salon styling at home. I believe that hair is one of the most unique, expressive parts of our bodies and should be maintained as such. Whether it’s your first or your twenty-first time in my chair, it is my goal to craft a personalized look tailored to your unique personality and lifestyle. Enhancing our naturally beautiful and unique features is the most eye-catching way to show of our inner beauty. When we look good we feel good, and there is nothing more attractive than confidence. Hair is my passion and service is my guarantee.
