​I'm Lina, Co-Founder of Expressions Hair Studio, a master colorist, extension artist, and hairstylist based in Reading, MA. My passion is helping women express their inner beauty through their hair, creating a space where you feel pampered, heard, and truly cared for.

Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, I earned degrees in Psychology and Fine Arts before embarking on an exciting new chapter in the beauty industry. My journey began in 2000 when I moved to Washington, D.C., and started working with Aveda salons in Northern Virginia. After seven years, I made my way to Boston—the place I now call home.

I have to confess—I absolutely love what I do! There’s nothing more rewarding than helping people feel beautiful. I believe hair should reflect not just your personality but your lifestyle, too. I’m always learning new techniques and trends to bring your dream look to life, and my guests love hearing about my latest educational adventures. With a warm and caring spirit, I take the time to listen, understand, and create styles that make you feel like the best version of yourself.

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me diving into creative projects—home transformations, crafts, knitting, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. I also love spending time outdoors, whether it’s a scenic hike or a long bike ride to soak in nature. After our recent wedding, my heart (and home!) grew even fuller, as our family now includes four amazing kids who bring endless joy to our lives.

Each morning, I count my blessings, grateful for a career that fills my days with creativity, connection, and fun.

Can’t wait to see you in my chair! ✨
