I have been a licensed hairstylist in New York for 34 years. When I think of women who have inspired me the most in the beauty industry, I think of Kris Sorbie. She has been a forerunner in the field of education and motivation. I have followed Kris’s career for over 25 years. Her photographic images and her ability to communicate her skills to the hairdressing community are second to none. Her warmth and true concern for her audiences come through loud and clear, to the point where her name has become a brand in itself.
