What we do
Bridal styling
01Special-occasion styling built around your dress, your venue, and the photos you'll look at for decades, not just the next few hours.
Cuts & styling
02A cut shaped to how your hair actually grows and how you actually wear it, not just how it looks fresh out of the chair.
Color & highlights
03Color built in stages so the tone you leave with is the tone you asked for, checked against your skin and your hair's history.
Balayage
04Hand-painted color that grows out soft instead of leaving a hard line at the root.
Blowouts
05A finished, held style for a night out or the next stretch of workdays, dried and shaped by hand.
Keratin & smoothing
06A smoothing treatment for hair that fights humidity or takes too long to tame on a normal morning.
Not sure what to ask for? Call — we’ll talk it through.
Call to bookConversation first
No cut or color begins until we've talked through what you actually want to see when it's done.
Built to hold
Special-occasion styles are tested for hold before the day itself, not finalized on the spot.
Your history, remembered
Past color and cuts inform the next visit, so repeat clients aren't starting from zero each time.
An artist's eye, pointed at your actual hair
Cristina works with color and cuts the way a lot of stylists wish they could: eclectic when you want it bold, quiet and polished when you want it to disappear into the background of a big day. A Google reviewer called her 'a true artist' with 'a creative mind,' and that instinct carries into every chair, not just the wild ones. The conversation before the scissors move is where the look actually gets decided, so nothing on your head surprises you on the way out.Hhair by Cristina exists so that conversation is never rushed.
How a first visit runs
(805) 857-9807Book it your way
Call or message — say whether it's a cut, color or both, so the right amount of time gets set aside.
Start with a consultation
A few minutes to talk it through before anything starts. Photos of the look you want help more than words.
Nothing is a surprise
Length, tone and finish are checked with you as it goes, not revealed at the end.
Leave knowing how to keep it
Ask how to style it at home and when to come back. That's part of the visit, not an extra.
Before your first visit
Four things worth knowing — whatever salon you choose
True anywhere, this salon included. A good first visit starts with a conversation.
A consultation costs nothing
Any good stylist starts with questions. If the work starts before the questions do, that's your answer.
Bring the photo
A picture of the look you want beats any description of it. Save two or three — and one you don't want.
Color needs a patch test
Skin reacts. A test a day or two ahead is the standard for new color, not the exception.
Book the person, not just the salon
Consistency is the whole game. When you find a stylist whose work you like, ask for them by name next time.

- Do you handle bridal hair for the whole day, start to finish?
- Special-occasion styling is planned around your specific timeline and venue during the consultation, so the style is built to hold for however long your day actually runs.
