The first to greet you with a smile, to Christine family is everything--including her work family. "I'm caring, loving, and outgoing. I love spending time with the people I love!" She's inspired by her children and fellow stylists and has now been a part of the Studio Orlo family for over 5 years. Her favorite days at the salon are spent making her clients look and feel beautiful while listening to Beyonce (or Rhianna!) on the radio. She especially loves highlighting, a passion that has been fueled by taking advanced foiling classes as well as additional business and cutting classes. In the few moments she's not working, she's most likely to be found with her family playing with her dog, Stella, or hiding away at Express. Her favorite Aveda products include Volumizing Tonic, Phomollient, and Dry Remedy Oil.

It's impossible to spend any amount of time with Kari without laughing. When asked what her favorite hair trend is she said, "Mullets!" and after a lot of laughter, "Just kidding. I don't have a favorite. I love everything." While she may not have a favorite trend, after 7+ years in the industry Kari has developed a genuine passion for haircutting and fantastic attention to detail, she not only works with clients to find a cut to best suit them, but ensures that they leave the salon with the proper knowledge and tools to style their hair at home. As far as her favorite products? Kari is a big fan of Aveda's Shampure Dry Shampoo, Be Curly Enhancer, and Confixor. Not only is Kari's laughter undeniably contagious, but so is her caring nature. Kari is a very proud dog mom to two equally energetic rescue dogs, Dustin and Duke.
