My name is Kristina Russell.

I am a Sydney based multi-award winning Haicolour expert and Industry Educator aka @ColourKristina across social Media.

I've been travelling the world teaching hairdressers how to paint hair for over 20 years for some of the hair industry's "big wigs" and now I'm sharing everything I've learned with you. I divide my time between working behind the salon chair and teaching classes of my own design to help Hairdressers and Salon owners elevate their craft.
