FAQs
What about parking? How do I find North Hair Studio?
1
I am located in North Hair Design Studios, at 149 SE 3rd Ave, Ste 450 in downtown Hillsboro. If you ask Google or Apple maps, it will probably send you to the right building, but the wrong entrance. Look for the signs. There is plenty of free parking in our parking lot off Second. You can enter from the parking lot or the street entrance off of Third avenue.
How do I prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive with clean hair. It doesn’t have to be washed that day, but your hair should be free of products like dry shampoo, root cover, gels, hairspray, etc. I don’t mind washing your hair before and again during your appointment, but it will add time to your appointment and more stress to your tresses. Try to avoid wearing hoodies or collared shirts if you’re getting a haircut. You’d be amazed at how much a little lump from your clothes can impact the quality of your cut.
We have a variety of beverages from herbal tea, to Longbottom Coffee, to wine. But feel free to bring whatever you need.
Please give me a heads up if you have extremely long or thick hair. It’s no extra charge, but I like to be able to plan ahead and give you a little extra time. If you want to send me inspo photos, please do! You can text or email them ahead of time.
What makes Kristine different?

I put thought into literally every aspect of your experience. The products I purchase are low-tox, and are from companies that align with my values. I support small, independent, environmentally friendly companies where I can. At the same time, I am constantly testing out new products to ensure that they’ll do exactly what they need to in order to make your hair look exceptional. It pays to go to a type-A, detail oriented perfectionist hairdresser.
I go above the average color service. I will shampoo your hair with a cleansing product to ensure a clean slate when applying your color. During the coloring process, I use bond-builders to maintain the health of your hair as much as possible. Finally, I’ll treat your hair to a deep conditioning.
I am mindful of your time, but I also want to make sure I give you exactly what you’re looking for, and that can take time. I will tailor your appointment so that you can leave feeling completely cared for. Don’t hesitate to ask for any sort of accommodation you need, whether that’s a silent appointment, or time for you to catch up on that book you’ve been trying to get through. Maybe you don’t like having your hair blow dried, or you prefer that I only use sulfate-free products. Just let me know!
