Kristy Wilson

owner,

nail technician & makeup artist

I graduated from future hair school and Blanche Macdonald makeup and nail tech programs. I have worked In the beauty industry since I was 18. 20 years later, I am in my 9th year of business at In a Wink Beautique.

I continue to grow my knowledge of hair through our color academy, labiosthetique. I recently got certified as a curl specialist by surface hair and look forward to expanding my tool box, every chance I get.

My love for hair, beauty and color is surpassed only by my love for my family. When I’m not in the salon I’m taking care of our 3 year old son and spending time with my incredible other half <3
