About Kristen

My name is Kristen McWilliams. I graduated from Red Lion High School in 2003. I then attended cosmetology school at Empire Beauty School and graduated in May of 2004 with high honors in cutting and coloring techniques. I apprenticed at a barber shop for a week to further my men’s haircutting skills.

I worked at a local salon for my first 5 years as a stylist. During that time I attended many Matrix, Sexy Hair, Bioelements and Farouk classes that focused on the latest cutting, coloring, and skin care techniques.

I have been blessed with the ability and passion for doing hair and my goal is always to make my clients look and feel their best. I absolutely love what I do and strive to continue learning all I can to better myself as a stylist.

In addition to having my dream career, I also am a youth leader and worship team member at my church’s youth program, Wildfire. My husband, Jonah, and I love working with high school aged students. Not only do we love teaching them about the word of God, they challenge us to continue growing in our own faith.

I have been married to my wonderful husband, Jonah, for 10 years and we have three beautiful boys together. Luke is 7, Collin is 5, and Owen is 2. My family brightens my day and we thoroughly enjoy spending time together.
