Kristen Marie Kirchen
Creator, Character hair designer

With a passion for storytelling from my earliest ages, It did not take long for me to find my place in the entertainment industry as a hairdresser. After training abroad, I left the salon to find deeper meaning in my craft. My focus being the art of character development through hair and wig design. My passion for film and television led me to my journey as a hairdresser for film and television in my union, IATSE local 706. I’ve spent hours working along side some of the stylists who are responsible for some of your favorite on screen looks. Some of my most valued experience was my 5 years in Disneyland Hair and Makeup Department. Not only did I refine my craft at Disney, I also began my journey as a leader and educator to a team of skilled artists who shared the same passion. Now I have the opportunity to share my experience with other passionate creators who want to dive deeper into the art of character wigs.
