BROW SPECIALISTS
KRISTIE STREICHER
With a passion for a natural, fuller brow that is groomed into sophistication, Kristie Streicher and her trademark Nurtured Brow® have changed the way we see and experience brows. The Nurtured Brow® is an extension of her Feathered Brow® philosophy. The Nurtured Brow® combines strategic tweezing within each individual growth cycle and the use of nurturing ingredients to create a lush brow that is natural, manageable, and exquisite. The focus is to embrace and enhance everyone's one-of-a-kind growth patterns and cycles, rather than forcing them to look a certain way. Tapered feathering and a delicate but proven strategic tweezing technique combine for a lush brow that is full, natural, and exquisite.
Kristie founded STRIIIKE® in 2014 with sisters Jenn and Ashley, whom are also widely recognized for their talents in the beauty industries.

ASHLEY AVINA
Junior Nurtured Brow® Specialist
As a Southern California native, I often found myself longing for place that embraced and enhanced an individuals own beauty. I had always loved brows growing up, pinning photos of Brooke Shields and Andi McDowell as inspo along my walls. Naturally, I found myself in the beauty industry, working as an assistant colorist, for 5 + years. Though I deeply loved hair, I had never forgotten my ‘first love’ of brows. Being on a brow journey myself and consistently over tweezed, waxed and threaded, I set off on my search to find the perfect brow spot. A little time on Instagram was all it took to bring me to STRIIIKE® and begin my own brow journey. I was a client for two and half years before joining this incredible team. I understand the patience, the dedication, and the result of the Nurtured Brow®. STRIIIKE® brought together everything I had been searching for: A focus on amplifying the natural beauty in each client, a team with impeccable skill and kindness and the soft sofistication of the Nurtured Brow®
