Christine started her career as the chief stylist for her Barbie heads. Being voted best by the Mountain Xpress Readers’ poll over seven times is a testament to Christine’s loyal clientele and her ability to keep them feeling fresh while maintaining healthy hair.

Joining the master design team for Rusk at an early point in her career provided an amazing foundation. Always an advocate for curly hair she has taken her passion to another level by becoming a Curl-Laborator with DEVA CURL.

She loves cutting hair, being a small business owner and having the opportunity to spend time with her clients (some of the most amazing people in the world!). She also spends time consulting and speaking about business inspiration. When you’re ready for a major change, Christine is your girl.

At night you’ll find her home kissing on her loving family: husband Tommy, daughter Hennie and son Xavier. Life is good.

With twenty-six years behind the chair, you can imagine she’s seen it all. Gilda began her career in the fifth grade by busting out some Dorothy Hamil and Farrah Fawcett cuts on her classmates. During high school you would find her in the bathroom creating new trendy cuts on her pals.

She began her career working in Westwood and Beverly Hills. She quickly became a Master Designer with Rusk International, which kept her travelling as a platform artist for 10 years. A west coast valley girl with parents from Argentina, she moved to Asheville nineteen years ago to be closer to family. During that time, she introduced the Rusk hair care line to Asheville as a whole, and innovative cutting techniques to many a hairdresser in town.

Gilda has set a precedent in Asheville for modern hair design. Numerous stylists and business owners in Asheville have been trained and inspired by this super talented woman. She truly is an inspiration in her art form. In 2009, she was one of YWCA’s TWIN honorees an award for inspiring women in business.

When she’s not making you look and feel beautiful, or adding to her fabulous collection of footwear, she’s spending time with her incredible family: two beautiful sons, Angelo and Nico, and her husband Gil.

Se Habla Espanol.

When we look back on life we’ll say that hiring this woman was one of the best things we ever did. This woman takes a minimum of 2000 steps a day. She is the mover and shaker of Wink, our resident Johnny-on-the-Spot.

She started her career in fashion merchandising and business management at a little place called Neiman Marcus in Boston. She is the rock that keeps Wink grounded. She should be sainted; she’s one in a million.

If you see her anywhere near poison ivy please warn her immediately. At night you’ll find her walking her dog Boots, cooking dinner with her sweetie or training for the next big race. You can’t stop this girl!
