Meet our Stylists

  • Kristen Gust

    Stylist + Bridal Hair Specialist (she/her)

    15 + years behind the chair. 3 + years in education.

    Hair is all that I know and I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s nothing better than getting to build relationships/ trust, and being a part of someone else’s journey for a living.

    Although Bridal Hair is where my heart is, I love doing funky colors and cuts in the salon! I am also incredibly passionate about hair/ scalp health and helping people embrace their natural beauty; whether that be by customizing the perfect haircut, or enhancing your natural color for a seamless/ low maintenance grow out. I’m obsessed with education and learning as much as I can to be better for me and for you :)

    All vivids and/ or corrective color services will require a consultation

  • MacKenzie

    Stylist, Intuitive DIY Hair + Handstyles (she/they)

    Outside the salon, they can often be found in their magical garden, where MacKenzie offers whimsical outdoor haircuts surrounded by nature. At Xanadu, she brings that same fairy-like wonder part-time, focusing mainly on transformative color services.

    MacKenzie specializes in DIY Alternative hair, intuitive haircuts, and hand-styled finishes. Don’t expect a blowout, her craft is all about enhancing natural features with low-maintenance looks that feel effortless day after day.

    With a commitment to low-tox products and an approach that prioritizes authenticity and sustainability, they help clients express themselves in ways that are both bold and beautifully natural.

  • Kristina Cheeseman

    Owner, Stylist + Colorist (she/they)

    Award-winning hairstylist. International trouble maker with a color brush.

    For me, hair has always been about more than looking good - t’s about freedom, identity, and joy. I believe the chair is a place where we can heal our inner child, experiment without fear, and show the world exactly who we are.

    With 17+ years behind the chair and on stages around the world, I’ve built a reputation for bold, creative color work and a deep respect for self-expression in all its forms. But don’t box me in - I specialize in all hair types and bring the same energy to precision cuts, razor cutting, and making sure we maintain the health and integrity of your hair.

    All new color clients require an in person consultation before booking any color service.
