FOUNDER, OWNER & CREATIVE HAIR ARTIST
“I’m sorry to have to tell you that your four year old daughter cut her friend’s ponytail off at school…”
Since I was little I have always had a fascination with hair. The movement, the shapes, the texture, how someone could be completely transformed just by a haircut or style. Although my passion was not always appreciated – like the time I chopped my friend’s high ponytail off, or when I got my mother’s round brush stuck in my hair and had to cut off a chunk to get it out. My friend has luckily forgiven me, and I always call her the muse for the steps that followed towards my career. When I finally got the chance to study in London at Vidal Sassoon, I jumped at the possibility and the rest is history.
Once the fashion world opened its doors to me, I realized this was what I had been working for all those years. Collaborating with amazing teams for brands, artists, magazines and shows, and being able to really create, grow and learn as a session stylist has been truly empowering. This is where my passion lies. My experience with brands and artists such as 1/OFF Paris, Versatile Forever, Tim Wes, Reconstruct, Goldiie, Noha Saré, Calvin Klein, Mojo Nodnarb and Tecán continually sparks my creativity and inspires my evolution as a hair artist. My work has been published in L’Officiel, Numéro, Vogue, Wonderland, Glamcult, Metal Magazine, Indie, Elle, Nasty, Cake, Currant and others.
Backstage at Paris, Milan, London and Amsterdam fashion weeks is where I have learned the most, assisting some of the best hair artists in the world for shows such as Louis Vuitton, Givenchy, Hermes, Marni, Dsquared2, Ryan-Lo, Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens and Paul Smith to name a few. It is truly an honor to be a part of these teams, and so inspiring and motivating to grow as an artist.
I love being able to combine fashion with hairdressing, taking all my knowledge from session work and projecting it into Studio Christine Marie to strive to give more than just a haircut or style. As I like to say, I don’t cut to cut, I cut to create and deliver something that is completely unique and tailor-made for you.
