Hello all, Kristina here from Imp And Petal (..::AtomicLox::.. on HEF, and hello old friends!) finally getting around to a proper introduction.
Things about me: I am 31, and I live in Southern Oregon, which I love as long as it's not summertime. I enjoy anything arty, crafty, colorful, creative, and full of soul. I love coffee, and rainstorms, long drives and the ocean. I also enjoy a handful of things I'm not especially talented at, which include playing ukulele, writing, drawing, and running. I am especially not talented at running. I have been wearing synth dreads and extensions since 2001, perfecting my own dread artistry since 2003, selling since 2007, and actively involved in the online alt hair community since 2009 (which is the same year I kicked off Imp And Petal officially). I LOVE my job. I love my business. I love how it has grown, and how I have grown, and how the whole community has grown and shifted over the years. I love that it isn't going anywhere.
I also practice hair design professionally at a nice little salon in my downtown area, but only part time. It has taken a back seat to making dreads for all of you lovely people and I am honestly thrilled to death about that. I would like to see this business flesh out into several kinds of extensions and other accessories, and I would be elated to be able to call it my full time job eventually! (Let's be real though, it's already my full time job whether I'm paid for it or not )
To old friends and new ones alike: Welcome. Thank you for stopping in to be a part of this. I look forward to making new friends and helping to foster a new generation of dreadlings!
