About

LAREINA HILLSETH

LIVED-IN COLOR & FREE HAND CUTTING SPECIALIST

I’m a California native, recently moving to Santa Cruz by way of Oakland, CA. I began creating magic behind the chair as a stylist in 2000. After high school I apprenticed to hone my skills and developed an eye for beauty in hair.

Inspired by fashion and my love to work with my hands, I moved to San Francisco to study Design. During this time I was drawn to hair and makeup artistry. Eventually I combined the two, doing backstage work and editorial styling while working behind the chair. 

From sculpting beach waves, soft curls, juicy ringlets to fine straight hair, I encourage you to embrace your natural texture.  I love to create lived-in hair color that works with your lifestyle. Taking your natural beauty to the next level.

I find it important to take advanced education yearly working with a master of the craft and always seek to learn from the fellow stylists I work with daily.

I’m a lover of everything wild, vintage and classic. I continue to be inspired by California’s landscape, my world travels, coast lines, surfing, gardening, and good flea market finds. 

I am so honored to begin working at Kinship Hair Co and to be a part of this community. I can't wait to meet you!
