Hi I'm Kristy Hofstede!
(@kristyhofstedehair)
​​
I spent the last 21 years living in the beautiful Jasper National Park with my two children, and recently, I made the decision to relocate to Victoria to start fresh. My journey began as a massage therapist, but about 10 years ago I transitioned into hairstyling—and I instantly fell in love with it. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working in various salons, collaborating with many talented stylists and building my skills and client base.
I’m so excited to be in Victoria, and I’m looking forward to rebuilding my career in this vibrant, welcoming city. It feels like the perfect place to continue doing what I love and to create new connections along the way!
How many years in the industry?
10 years.
​
What is your favourite service to provide and why?
​​I truly love offering all types of hair services because making people happy is what brings me the most joy. Whether it’s a fresh cut, vibrant colour, or a beautiful blowout, seeing my clients leave feeling confident and happy is incredibly fulfilling. I take great pride in being a well-rounded stylist and enjoy the variety that each service offers. It allows me to be creative while helping my clients express themselves through their hair.
​
What do you love most about guest services?
What I love most about guest services is the opportunity to connect with people on a personal level and create meaningful interactions. It’s not just about providing a service; it’s about making my clients feel seen, heard, and valued. Building those relationships and creating a welcoming, positive experience for every person who walks through the door is what truly makes my job fulfilling.
​
What is an accomplishment you're proud of?
One of the accomplishments I'm most proud of is the journey I've taken to rebuild my career after significant life changes. Transitioning from a massage therapist to a stylist was a bold move, but it has been incredibly rewarding to see how far I’ve come.
Tell me about a goal you have professionally and personally?
Both professionally and personally, my main goal is to achieve a healthy work-life balance. I believe that when I'm able to nurture both my career and my personal life, I’m at my best. Professionally, I aim to continue growing as a stylist, learning new techniques, and building deeper connections with my clients. Personally, I want to surround myself with people who inspire me and help me grow as an individual.
​
What is something your guests might not know about you?
I’m a bit of a nerd at heart! I have a genuine interest in quantum physics—it’s fascinating to me how the universe works on such a microscopic level. I also love the theatre and enjoy everything from classic plays to modern performances. It’s something that gives me a creative outlet outside of my work, and I find it really inspiring.
