My name is Kersti Espinoza & I am licensed cosmetologist of 9 years. I have been passionate about hair since I was a just little girl. After years of holding on to my dreams of pursuing my cosmetology license, I graduated from the Paul Mitchell School in Reno in 2011 and have been thriving in the beauty industry ever since. I have worked at Robert Richard Salon for 6 years now & I consider it my second home. Being in an environment that I love, I pour my heart & soul into my work and my clients.

 

Trends are constantly changing over time and with that, I value the importance of continuous education in the industry. There's nothing I love more than making a client feel amazing with a haircut, hair color, deep conditioning treatment, and/or style. When It comes to hair color, I enjoy making magic from Natural looks, to bold, bright, & vivid, and everything in between. At least half of my female clients are blonde so I'm experienced with different techniques of blonding.

 

I love applying different techniques for some of the latest trends including balayage, smudged/shadowed root, sombre, & more. I am certified with Babe Hair extensions, hand tied & machine tied sew-in wefts.  If you desire more density, volume, and/or longer length to add to your natural hair, these extensions are amazing.  Book now  for a consultation to get started!  I have created styles for brides and bridemaids for many weddings over the years, so I am always pleased to style hair for important events. I have always loved braiding and incorporate braids with wedding styles at times. I also do box braiding with synthetic hair for events like Burning Man & for clients who just want to rock braids.
