COLOR DIRECTOR

Aleese began working at Cristophe salon as an assistant and earned a spot as a colorist shortly after. Aleese’s style is “lived in color”. She loves to create a beautiful natural look for her clients that has a low maintenance upkeep. Although the natural look is her style she also loves a fun bold creative color. She enjoys taking on the challenge of a color correction and watching a client come to life after they see their results. Aleese also prides herself in spending time to consult and create a customized plan for each client. She wants all of her clients to feel their absolute best when they leave our salon.
When Aleese is not at the salon or taking classes she is spending time with her family. She has two young kids and can’t wait until they start playing sports so she can be a “soccer mom”. She is also looking forward to traveling in the next few years and adding a puppy to complete their family.
