Formerly the managing partner and lead wig designer of Compassionate Creations for 11 years, Gieselle decided to exit that partnership in April of 2024 because she wanted to go into business for herself.
The sole focus of Gieselle’s new business, Tress Transformations, is building custom wigs for clients out of their own hair or the hair of a loved one.
Gieselle learned her skills while working as a wig designer in the theatre and entertainment industry. Gieselle has been on the design team and the run crew for many prestigious organizations such as the Seattle Opera, South Coast Repertory, A Noise Within Theatre, Musical Theatre West, and Pomona College.
Co-Founder Gieselle Blair was featured on Portland, Oregon news station KGW 8 on October 27, 2015. Gieselle was interviewed by reporter Cathy Marshall about Compassionate Creations and what inspired her to start the business.
