Today we’d like to introduce you to Christine Byrd.
Hi Christine, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I started my business in Seattle with DivineTouch Bridal Artistry, specializing in on-location bridal hair and makeup. Over the years, I had the opportunity to work with countless brides and clients, travel for weddings, build a team, and grow a business that became a meaningful part of my life.
Through that experience, I realized there was something I loved just as much as bridal beauty: creating an experience where a woman could simply sit down, relax, and leave feeling amazing.
That idea became Divine Blow Drys.
After moving to Arizona, I wanted to create something that felt elevated but approachable, luxurious without being intimidating, and centered around the simple pleasure of getting your hair done and taking a little time for yourself.
Divine Blow Drys is the next chapter of that journey, bringing the beauty experience I’ve spent years creating on location into a space of its own in Queen Creek.
From Seattle brides to an Arizona blow dry salon, it’s been a pretty beautiful evolution.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely not. There have been plenty of pivots, growing pains, and moments where I had to figure things out as I went.
Building a business while navigating major life changes, relocating from Seattle to Arizona, and essentially creating a new chapter from the ground up has challenged me in ways I didn’t expect. There were plenty of moments of uncertainty, especially when stepping away from what was familiar and putting myself back into the position of building a clientele and community in a new market.
I’ve also learned that entrepreneurship rarely follows the plan you started with. Businesses evolve, ideas change, and sometimes you have to be willing to let go of one version of your vision to make room for something better.
The biggest lesson has been learning to trust the process and keep moving, even when the path isn’t perfectly clear. Every challenge has ultimately pushed me to become more adaptable, more confident, and much clearer about what I want to create.
Divine Blow Drys is a reflection of that. It isn’t just a new business. It’s the result of everything I’ve learned along the way.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Divine Blow Drys is a luxury blow-dry studio in Queen Creek, Arizona, specializing in polished, long-lasting blowouts that make getting ready feel like an experience rather than another item on the to-do list.
My background is in bridal hair and makeup, where I spent years creating elevated, natural-looking beauty for brides and traveling on location throughout Washington and beyond. That experience shaped the approach behind Divine Blow Drys: beautiful hair should still feel like you, just a little more polished, confident, and put together.
What sets Divine Blow Drys apart is the attention to the entire experience, not just the finished hairstyle. The goal is to create a space where clients can slow down, be taken care of, and leave feeling genuinely refreshed. Every blowout is customized to the client’s hair, personal style, and occasion rather than being a one-style-fits-all service.
I’m especially proud of creating something that combines my years of experience in the beauty industry with a completely new concept for my community. Moving from an established bridal business in Seattle to building a new beauty brand in Arizona has been a huge leap, and Divine Blow Drys represents that next chapter.
Ultimately, what I’m most proud of is creating a business around something that seems simple but can make a real difference in how someone feels when they walk out the door: great hair, a little confidence boost, and some time that was entirely for them.
Alright so before we go can you talk to us a bit about how people can work with you, collaborate with you or support you?

I’m always open to collaborating with local businesses, wedding professionals, photographers, planners, influencers, and other creatives through events, giveaways, content, and cross-promotions.
And honestly, following along, sharing a post, telling a friend, or leaving a review goes a long way as Divine Blow Drys becomes part of the Queen Creek community.
