Our team.
Kristyn
Behind the chair for 13 years.
I opened Balance Hair Collective with the hopes to cultivate an environment comfortable for both the stylists and our guests. I am a color specialist, conversationalist, empath, dog mom, and fitness lover. The connections I’ve made throughout my career are just as important to me as creating beautiful, healthy hair. I find blonding and dimensional color services to be incredibly therapeutic. The process of blending and creating dimension through color is a perfect mix of art and precision that feels creative and calming to me.
When I’m not behind the chair, I enjoy being with my dog, family, and friends. I love staying active lifting weights. When I make the time, I love to go on adventurous trips that fuel my sense of exploration.

I’ve fostered a true passion for creating natural, lived-in looks that enhance each client’s individual beauty. Specializing in soft, sun-kissed hues and enhancing your natural hair color, my goal is to bring out your inner glow with a look that feels effortless and authentic.
Connection and creativity are at the heart of what I do, both behind the chair and in the relationships I build with my clients. Inclusivity is incredibly important to me; my chair is a safe space for everyone, where you can relax and express yourself freely.
When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me exploring nature with my two rescue pitties, Lenny and Cosmo. We love hiking, cultivating pollinator gardens, and diving in to a good book. I’m a strong advocate for animal rescue, particularly for bully breeds, and I’m passionate about positive reinforcement training.
I look forward to creating something beautiful together!

As a stylist, I specialize in vivids and low-maintenance dimensional color. With a warm and compassionate approach, I am dedicated to building strong relationships with clients while creating a safe and supportive environment. I firmly believe in the importance of hair for all humans and the transformative power of self-expression and inclusivity.
As a true Michigan gal, you can find me spending my summers in all things water, camping, and hiking with my husband and dog, Hank. In winter, I like to hunker down inside playing video and board games.

I specialize in creating lived-in, custom hair color that is as unique as each client I work with—blondes and beyond. Whether it’s enhancing natural tones, or adding a bold pop of color, I tailor every service to your individual style. I also specialize in dry cutting and curly/textured cuts, helping clients embrace their natural hair with confidence and ease. I also enjoy giving clients a perfect blowout that leaves them feeling refreshed with a modern take on a classic style.
Before diving in to the world of hair, I studied art, which gave me a strong foundation in color theory. It is this artistic background that drives my creativity and love for transforming hair. I truly believe that every client should feel like the best version of themselves, and I’m here to make that happen—one cut, color, and style at a time.
When I’m not behind the chair, you can find me exploring new foods and recipes, enjoying quality time with my three cats, or making memories with my fiance, Taylor. I’m always looking to connect with people and create an experience that’s as personal and unique as you are.
Elianny
Behind the chair for 4 years.
Proudly Latina and fluent in Spanish. I’m passionate about creating vibrant vivids, beautiful lived-in colors, lightening transformations, and perfectly layered haircuts.
I love to participate in continued education to expand my knowledge and perfect my craft. I’m excited to keep growing and sharing my hair journey with you all.
When I’m not in the salon, you can find me sipping iced chais, traveling, or at a concert. I’m also a proud dog mom to my catahoula, Denver.
Can’t wait to have you in my chair!
