About this speaker
Christina is the fearless, pink-loving powerhouse who built Pinup Studio from the ground up—Raleigh-born, fiercely creative, and unstoppable in her drive. She’s the generator behind the salon’s energy and growth, with a unique ability to see people where they are and listen with intention and genuine understanding.

Christina’s entrepreneurial spirit shone brightly with the launch of PS Wefts, an innovative extension line that has transformed the way the salon serves clients. Achieving six-figure stylist status entirely on her own is just one of many testaments to her drive and dedication. When she’s not shaping the future of Pinup Studio, Christina indulges her pink branding obsession, always finding a way to incorporate the color into everything she does. Her ideal day off is as refreshing as it is relaxing—waking without an alarm, packing a cooler for a boat day on the water, and finishing with a bubbly cocktail and an unforgettable dinner out.
