"A lot of women in their 30s are either working in fields they do not enjoy or have lost all of their inspiration to keep moving forward. It happened to me too; at one point, I lost all of my motivation to advance and deepen my knowledge in my profession at the time," says Kristina.
"Before becoming a full-time hairstylist, I taught Spanish and also worked as a translator and choreographer."
