Best of 2015

and style his clients’ hair. He views his work as a reflection of both
himself and his client. He WILL make you look fabulous. “Kris will
tell you no, because he knows it doesn’t work for you, but he will
also tell you ‘YES’ in the most excited way. Which is usually because
it’s way out there….And it always looks amazing” says friend and
fellow artist Cynthia Locke. His easygoing and energetic personality
makes working with him not only easy, but a blast as well. This is
true whether a client is a walk-in, or someone he has been working
with for years.
In an artistic sense, Kris’ work is hard to pin down. He has dabbled
in editorial, fantasy, film noir, cosplay, runway and others. The
benefit of working with so many different creative teams has given
him the ability to be adventurous and flexible. He is always excited
about new ideas, and his inspiration can come from a photographer’s
concept, a model’s face, or just one piece of jewelry. In the past
three years Kris has worked with some of the top photographers in
Tucson and beyond. His multiple publishing credits testify to the
consistency of his work. Kris’ flair for the dramatic infuses his hair
and makeup style with an excitement, an immediacy, that marks
him as the genuine article. Bold colors and eye-catching hair are his
calling card. Kris has made a career out of pushing against the limits
of fashion the way a plane pushes against gravity, and the horizon
has never looked more inviting.
