Currently accepting new clients at Vacation Club on N Killingsworth Street, Crystal Lake has been a hairdresser in Portland, Oregon since January, 2017. In 2018, she answered the call to get trained in Reiki healing and is now a Level 2 practitioner. Reiki, or life force energy, is a Japanese healing modality that eases one into a meditative state and promotes feelings of peace, love, hope, centeredness, grounding and more. A 15 minute treatment is added on to hair services as an enhancement to what is already a rejuvenating and relaxing experience. She offers 45 minute long-distance Reiki sessions as well.
Previously, she was at Lance Lappin Salon in TriBeCa NYC for five years. Before making the leap to NY, Crystal was a stylist and Creative Team member at Ihloff Salon in Tulsa, OK. Crystal spent her first year in NYC as assistant to Roy Teeluck in the heart of Midtown Manhattan at 5th Ave and 57th Street.
Crystal has been on Fashion Week styling teams lead by ION Studio stylists Marco Santini, Pasquale Ferrante, Sara Jane Lynch and Marcos Diaz. She has worked along side Riad Azar, Alexandra Brownsell and Damian Monzillo on numerous editorial and commercial photo shoots, as well as two short films.
She has been inspired and educated by such wonderful people as Naomi Knights for Davines, Lena Ott of Suite Caroline, Nancy Braun of L’Oréal Professionel, Corina Hernandez, Jayne Matthews, Redken's Chris Baran, as well as Aveda's Allen Ruiz, Hans Korpela, Tristan Morrison and William Edge.
The cumulative sum of her experiences so far has given her the abilities to work well with a team; take direction and execute the vision of a lead hairstylist, photographer or creative director in a fast and efficient way; to collaborate with guests and provide an elevated salon experience.
