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. Known for her mantra, “Clear is kind,” Christina leads with transparency and kindness, inspiring both her team and other salon owners every day. Her career is marked by impressive milestones—from earning a spot in Salon Today’s Top 200 salons (x2!), to spearheading the expansion and buildout of Pinup Studio. 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.

She is fiercely committed to creating a space where every guest feels comfortable, supported, and truly seen—leaving the salon better than when they arrived.
