Private Hair Colorist on the Main Line: Meet Kristin Alessandrine of Concihairge

A private in-residence hair colorist is a licensed professional who comes to your home and devotes the entire appointment to you. No shared floor. No competing appointments. No stylist glancing at the clock because the foils on the next client need to come off.

For highlights, gray blending, and keratin treatments, this level of exclusive focus directly changes the quality of the result. When Kristin comes to you, the consultation is thorough, the environment is calm, and the color has the time and attention it needs to be done right.

Kristin earned her cosmetology license from Gordon Phillips and has continued investing in her education through ongoing training in coloring techniques. She also holds a Devacurl certification, which reflects a deep understanding of how different hair textures behave and how to work with them, not against them.

That texture awareness carries directly into her color work. Understanding how porous hair is, how it has been previously treated, and how it will deposit and lift color are all factors Kristin reads before she begins. Outside of the chair, she finds the same satisfaction in decorating and floral design that she finds in her work: a trained eye for composition, balance, and detail.

Her philosophy: “Age is just a number, and when you look good you feel good.”

Highlights.

Kristin’s highlight work is built around dimension and natural movement rather than a uniform pattern. She studies face shape, natural base, and how light falls on the hair before placing a single foil. The result is color that looks like it belongs to the hair and grows out without demanding constant touch-ups.

Gray Blending.

Kristin has developed a particular expertise in working with stubborn grays, a challenge many colorists underestimate. Rather than covering aggressively or leaving grays to contrast sharply, she works with them to create something intentional and modern. The result feels polished and considered rather than like a battle being lost appointment by appointment.

Keratin Treatments.

For clients dealing with frizz or hair that fights them every morning, Kristin’s keratin work offers a real and lasting solution. She assesses each client’s texture, porosity, and daily routine before selecting a formula. The treatment is matched to the individual, not applied generically.

“I enjoy the one-on-one service with clients in the comfort of their own home, and the flexibility for them to navigate their daily needs while they have their hair done.” Kristin Alessandrine

The women Kristin serves are managing full lives. A child who needs something. A work call that cannot wait. A household that does not pause for a hair appointment. The private, in-residence model accommodates all of it, and Kristin has built her approach around that reality from the start.

For gray blending in particular, the private setting is especially valuable. Grays are not all the same. Their texture, distribution, and resistance to color vary from person to person and even from section to section. A thorough, unhurried assessment before the service begins is what separates a result that looks genuinely intentional from one that simply looks like an attempt.

For a woman on the Main Line who has been struggling with grays or highlights that never quite look the way she imagined, what would you want her to know before her first private appointment with you?

“When I sit down with a new client for the first time, the conversation matters just as much as the color. I want to know what she loves about her hair, what frustrates her, and what she has tried before. That is where everything starts.

Gray hair should never feel like a burden. It can be fully covered or beautifully camouflaged with the right color approach. The same goes for highlights. The most important thing is finding the right tone for her specific skin tone and natural hair color. Something that does not fall flat or wash her out, but actually brightens her up and looks like it belongs there.

That is what I am always working toward. Color that feels natural, not colored.”
