Kris Campbell

Kris Campbell is a licensed esthetician, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. All of which have led her to where she is today. Today Kris is known as one of the leading voices in the treatment and nourishment of sensitive skin and beyond. With degrees in both Supply Chain Management and Retail Merchandising Kris moved into skincare knowing this combination of education would complement the skincare industry quite well. In 2002 Kris became a licensed Esthetician. Since then, she has been actively involved in the professional skincare industry.

At an FDA laboratory as Special Projects Manager and Director of Sales for 10 years is where her early career was spent. Her time there is what brought her to the realization of the pressing need for high-quality skincare products for extremely sensitive and health-challenged skin. She was part owner in a company, TechNiche which was a sensitive skincare brand that primarily focused on oncology cosmeceuticals and oncology esthetics. Kris envisioned the company broadening to a much larger client-based that could focus on all sensitive and sensitized skin, not just oncology clientele. After purchasing the company from her partners, Hale & Hush was born in 2015.  Hale & Hush has grown immensely over the years and is now in 5,000 spas in all states and five countries including the Waldorf Astoria Hotel Franchise.

Kris is a highly respected pillar of the professional skin care community. She has written for several prominent trade journals such as: SkinInc, Lipgloss + Aftershave, Dermascope, Skindeep, Les Nouvelles, NASNPRO, and the former Day Spa Magazine. As a recognized leader on the topic of sensitive skin, Kris has been selected to speak and present for internationally respected organizations such as: The International Esthetics, Cosmetics and Spa Conference, The International Congress of Esthetics and Spa, Professional Beauty Association, Lipgloss + Aftershave, NASNPRO and the Esthetician Connection. She is also an ingredient junky and loves to formulate new products with chemists and creates new protocols for the brand. 

Kris strives to ensure that Hale & Hush focusses on a philanthropic effort and works with Oncology Training International, Look Feel Fab which supports programs with hospitals such as: Rush Copley (IL) and Virginia Piper Cancer Center (AZ).  With a seemingly “maybe she’s born with it” love and passion for skincare, Kris puts her heart and soul into Hale & Hush. This brand has expanded, grown and offers advanced education for students and esthetician.  Kris is a mentor to many estheticians and helps their businesses grow in this niche area of the industry.  With a skincare line that works wonders with the most sensitive and health compromised skin, Kris now is taking Hale & Hush beyond sensitive skin, treating a wider variety of skin conditions and concerns.
