Meet your Founder: Kristina Boe
Hi! I am Kristina Boe - your low-tox Hair Stylist.
How did I become a low-tox Hair Stylist and a lover of all things naturally based? It started at UC Davis where I studied Environmental Horticulture. This opened my eyes to the harmful effects of washing toxic personal care products down the drain.
Then, at age 34, I had to give up my hair styling business I had built since I was 18. I had become ill. Very ill. In bed and on disability. Using a wheelchair at times. Constant migraines, plantar fasciitis in both feet, neck pain, weight gain which turned into sleep apnea, and back surgery. It went on for years. Thankfully, to lots of research, hard work, MAJOR dietary changes, and exercise, I clawed my way back to good health.
When I was healthy enough to return to work, I knew I COULD NOT expose myself or my clients to the same toxic chemicals I had been using before. Lots more research, product trials, and I discovered Oway Organics and Arete Hair Color from Italy (much stricter regulations on product ingredients in Italy). I have also added naturally based Monat for Hair Care.
I have three young adult children I raised on my own for the last 16 years and have been blessed with a granddaughter. I moved to McKinney over 2 yrs ago with my two youngest children. I was at the very first McKinney Babes in Business meeting. It has been a lot of hard work as I faced the challenge of moving here without one client and having two children to support. I can now say, I have a thriving business. McKinney Babes in Business has played a huge part in my success!
