That's not that unreasonable if it's somebody you've got a more casual relationship with. I usually default to "Hello [name]" if it's somebody I've never interacted with before, "Hi [name]" if they're more familiar or have spoken less formally to me (especially if they respond to "Hello" with "Hi"), and "Hey [name]" for less formal communications for people with whom I'm quite familiar.

Starting every email that way is kind of weird, though. That said, so many standards for "professionalism" are basically just arbitrary rules with no practical merit that exist purely as an opportunity to judge those that don't follow them, which is really kind of silly.
