Cristina began her career in hairdressing over eight years ago. Passionate and artistic, this California native has traveled the US and UK for inspiration in new and creative techniques. She has been a session stylist working fashion shows and private wedding parties from San Diego to Hilton Head Island, Chicago, and New York. After years of working with the amazing Antonio Favaro and having a part in a teaching partnership with Davines, Cristina decided to move to New York in pursuit of her love for editorial styling. Upon landing here, she met the talented Takamichi Saeki and is very excited to grow with her new salon family. As a graduate of the Vidal Sassoon International Master Course in London, she believes a great stylist should never stop learning. Cristina finds that transforming a client's look and building relationships are the most rewarding aspects of being a hair designer.
