I first met Christy last year when she was at Salon Vert because, after 4 years, it was time to part with my former stylist. The change came 4 years too late. She is absolutely awesome! Christy has since moved into her own studio, and I have gone along with her. When I first met her, I showed her a picture of me and told her how I wanted my hair. I have short and stiff hair, I hate messing with it, and I haven't owned a comb since high school. She totally got it. Her work was perfect. She cut carefully (no clippers) and got the length and "messiness" just the way I wanted. I have been going to Christy for over a year now. Her new place is next to Vons, so parking is easy. She is consistent with her cuts, and I am consistently happy. It definitely helps that she's easy to talk to. I highly recommend her! read more

One of THE.BEST! hair cutters you will ever find! And her highlights are pretty darned good too! I know she used to be at Salon Vert and then went off to do her own thing. Unfortunately our time together was too short, but I will always have nothing but respect for her and her abilities. If you care about your hair, go see Christy. She's very talented! read more

Christy is a magician with scissors. Her cuts are consistently great, and she's really got the skills to handle the more technical styles. I've been growing my hair out from a pixie to a messy A-line bob, and the process has not been easy, but Christy has given me the perfect haircut at each stage of growth so that I don't end up looking like Dorothy Hamill. Six months of haircuts later, I am really loving my hair! I also love that she uses the eco-friendly Eufora line... the products are so nice that I've started using them at home. Extra awesome bonus: the ultra-relaxing head massage. All around win. If you're looking for a great stylist in Santa Monica, go see Christy! read more

Christy rocks! She is super friendly, caring and very punctual. I have tried different hair stylists, but Christy is the one who knows how to do it right. My hair stays in shape at least for 2 months, that's how you know your stylist knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her. read more

I have been following Christy since she was at The Haircutters in Santa Monica, 2.5 years ago. I was sold after my first cut! She is now the only one I go to. Recently, I was really nervous to bring my bangs back after so many years, because I have had some pretty terrible experiences. She did such a great job and I received tons of compliments. She really takes the time to make sure she asks the right questions to understand exactly what you want! Thank you so much Christy for being so great! I am definitely a loyal customer. read more

I'm a guy who has no clue about style and hair. Whenever I get my hair cut and the stylist asks "how would you like it?", I just say "make me look good" because honestly I don't know what I'm doing and put my full faith into whoever has the scissors. They're the trained stylists who know what looks good and that's why you go to them, right? I found Christy when I moved to Santa Monica a while back, and have kept coming to her since. She's provided the best haircut answer to "make me look good" that I've found so far in years of dropping that gem. Most importantly, my ex-girlfriend used to consistently gush over how good Christy's cuts were on me every time I came back - totally unprompted and completely genuinely. So she gets the girlfriend seal of approval. As a bonus - she does quick clean-up sessions between cuts (every two or three weeks if you'd like), so your cuts last longer and look better. Why don't more stylists do that? It's genius and worth going to her alone. She's apparently really good with women's hair too, but the male perspective is all I've got. And as a clueless guy who has no idea what he's doing when it comes to hair, I'm really lucky to have found Christy. Get your hair cut with her. read more

I was a hot mess until I met Christy at Salon Vert a year ago. My hair was a brassy orange, dried ends and crazy long because it hasn't been cut in nearly a year. Christy not only gave me a thorough color consultation, but found the PERFECT blond (I'm a brunette with olive skin) which is not an easy task. She restored my hair back to life! A testament to her skills -- I was driving race cars and wearing an unflattering helmet all day yesterday, and STILL got comments on how great my hair looked. Christy is a god-send! read more

Christy is great! She has been cutting my hair for over a year now, first at Salon Vert and now at her own place. She gives me the kind of haircut that not only looks good when she does it, but also looks good as it grows between cuts. I highly recommend her! read more

Christy does such a great job! Followed her over from Salon Vert, and she just does such a good cut for a good price.

I loved Christy!! I have messy curly hair (I'm Puerto Rican) and I have been looking for an affordable stylist for a LONG time. I went to The Lighthouse for the big chop: I had long curly hair but wanted to switch it up with a curly bob. She did a FABULOUS JOB starting with a dry cut, then washing, styling, and finally adding some last minute layers. 15/10 would recommend- she's amazing. read more

Christy is an amazing hair stylist. I've come to her since the day I moved to LA, and it's now been over 2 years, the longest I've ever stuck with one stylist. It's super relaxing and comfortable, you can have great conversation or just read your magazine, she's just got a very calm and easy going personality. And of course, more importantly, she understands my hair, whether it's the same cut just a refresher, or a brand new look. I have and will continue to recommend Christy for anyone looking for a new stylist! read more

Well add my name to the long list of devoted fans! I truly believe Christy can do anything. Not only because of her talents, but because she really listens and focuses. I have really crummy fine, thin hair. Her cuts are incredible---consistent every time. My hair always looks fuller than it is. She uses the best hair color (Italian) and got the perfect shade for my skin tone (my first visit with her was to correct a botched color done by another stylist in Santa Monica). Christy can do punk, she can do simple--I've seen her do it all. She is extremely accommodating and goes out of her way to please. What can I say that hasn't already been said? This is one of the nicest, kindest people I've ever met. Unpretentious and real--a rare find in this area. I really love her! read more

Great cut and color! Christy knew I was apprehensive about coloring - she suggested highlights versus all over color - she knows her stuff it turned out perfect. read more

Christy is an AMAZING stylist and Color expert! There is a difference between and good technical stylist and someone who has an eye for artistry. Christy, in my opinion, definitely has an eye for artistry and knows how to pick the right color for my skin tone and styles my hair to compliment my features. I have never been disappointed upon leaving the salon. I always feel like she listens to what I'm looking for and then executes it perfectly! read more

Christy is the best! I went through A LOT of hairdressers before finding Christy. My pre-Christy hair sucked. Other hairdressers never really listened to me or gave me what I wanted. It was so bad that I'd often go 6+ months without getting my hair cut or trimmed at all...just because I hated paying people to give me subpar cuts. I went so long between cuts/trims that one of my previous hairdressers said that my ends felt like grizzy bear fur...no joke, it was that bad! I lived in a perpetual ponytail and hated it. Christy took the time to really listen from day 1 and has given me a fresh, stylish cut each and every time. No more ponytails and no more grizzy bear fur for me! Her prices are pretty reasonable and and I always leave happy. Plus, she's pretty friendly. I can't recommend her highly enough! read more

I've been going to Christy now for 6 months and could not be happier. She used to work at Salon Vert, but recently moved to her own space a few blocks away. She is really talented. I used to go to barbers because I like it pretty tight on the sides and back. Christy uses scissors and a comb to get it just as tight. She will pretty much do exactly as you ask and really makes sure that you are happy with it. Needless to say, I am done with my barber and its Christy from here on out... I could not recommend her higher. read more

Christi rocks! I followed her from Salon Vert. I love the way she cut my hair. The best part is that you haircut stays in style even after two months. Thumbs up for her... read more

Christy is fantastic! Superlative skill, delightful personality! I've been going to her for a year, and I am consistently impressed and satisfied! She has significantly improved the quality of my hair and style! Highly recommended!! read more

I've been going to Christy for a few years now for haircuts and she is great! She listens to what you want, makes sure she's cutting the right amount of length, and asks if you want any changes once she dries your hair. She'll also give you styling advice and show you how to style your hair as she does it. Plus, she's a lot of fun to talk to while she cuts your hair. read more
