They point in my direction and say, "She's a woman of "the cloth." An old way of saying I'm ordained clergy. A church pastor, very often in the public eye, I need to look poised and professional. I was nervous when I pulled into the parking lot of Tiffany Wig for two reasons: one, I never needed a wig before, and two, I'm a transgender woman. All of that changed seconds after I walked in the door and was greeted by Kristine Sanchez. She immediately put me at ease. As I explained my situation, she really listened. Kristine was fully present. She cares! She made suggestions and encouraged me, but I never felt rushed or pressured. I never once felt like I was talking to a salesperson. I see Kristine as a new friend and beauty consultant. Absolutely amazing. Preaching at church on Sunday morning or shopping at the mall I'm me again. Poised and pretty! Thanks so much. Bless you,
Pastor Erin Kinahan
