    Review:
    Sara is a fantastic hair stylist! I do not live in NYC, but while living on the east coast, I would schedule my vacations to NYC around times for cuts/colors. I have straight hair with body and it can be difficult to cut but Sara has given me the best cuts and colors. I have received many compliments on my hair from friends saying how good my hair looks. It feels great to hear that your hair has never looked better. Sara takes time to ask questions, get to know the hair, and communicates very well. I am very sad that I now live on the west coast and can’t get to NYC for my “hairapy”. Sara is extremely talented, gifted, and professional. It is easy to see that she has a passion for what she does.

    Go see SARA!!! I promise you won't be disappointed. I have been seeing Sara for awhile now and I always leave her chair with a huge smile on my face. I have naturally curly hair and the first time I went to see Sara I was frustrated because I had absolutely no idea what to do with it! Sara gave me some wonderful tips, great color, and a spectacular cut! Now my curls look fabulous because I actually know what to do with them! But I still like to wear my hair straight, so Sara has given me a style that I can wear both ways and I LOVE it! Talk about talented. I will NEVER see anyone else!

    I went to see Sara for highlights and a cut. I was extremely happy with the result! She was wonderful, the outcome was EXACTLY what I wanted. I have gone to her many times and she has been consistent in giving me want I wanted every time. She has a great personality and is fun to talk to. It is not easy to find a stylist as great as Sara. I would recommend her to anyone!

    Review:
    I have finally found a salon that knows curly hair and a stylist that knows exactly what to do with mine!! Alice did an amazing job. From start to finish, the whole experience was wonderful. She knows just how to cut my hair (3b), what products to use (I highly recommend the Christo Structure Lotion), and how to style it. Before visiting Christo's I had never actually left a salon with a big smile on my face. In fact, after every previous visit to a salon I would immediately go home, wash my hair again, and style it as it should be styled. But Alice did it perfectly. The place is a little pricey (but typical for higher end NYC salons), but TOTALLY worth it. I love Alice!!

    Rosa was awesome. She is so nice and so knowledgeable. I explained all that was done to me in the past that I hated and how some stylists went nuts cutting my hair off and she gave me the best cut I've ever had. She even taught me how to style it myself and gave me a little bag of samples. I'm definitely going back to her in the future.

    I went to Christo to get my hair done the other week and it was cut by SARA. She literally changed my life. I have curly hair and I've never known what to do with it. She taught me how to style my hair and it looks so good. I can't believe that for 26 years I didn't know anything about my own hair!! Now my hair is so manageable and the curls look great. The cut she gave me is cute and modern. I feel like I fit in with the rest of NYC. If you want to have someone explain your hair to you, or if you want a great cut/styling experience, go to SARA!!

    Creative artistry is the best way to describe Christo at the Christo Fifth Avenue Hair Salon! Christo is an artistic genius in the way that he will look at your overall 'style', face shape and listen intuitively to your wants and/or concerns in a haircut. The way he cuts, shapes and creates leaves a finished product which is absolutely "off the charts"! I have been to him for 4 years and would not go anywhere else. Christo is definitely at the top of his field and I recommend him to everyone!!

    Review:
    I was recently researching salons in New York City when one of my coworkers suggested I go for a consultation at Christo Fifth Avenue. I booked my appointment with Alice not knowing what to expect; what I received was a pleasant surprise. I'm used to stylists rushing my appointment to service their other clients but my experience with Alice was much different! She was so very diligent and detail-oriented; she checked over the cut several times. She colored my hair and gave me the most natural highlights and lowlights. The next day I had an event to attend and everyone asked if the color was my natural hair color. Not only was the color perfect but the cut was sharp and clean. I've gotten my hair cut and styled into a bob, but when Alice cut it this time the angling was so sharp and dramatic. I can easily roll out of the bed in the morning and just blow dry the style into place. My hair is very low maintenance now and I don't have to worry about spending hours in the morning making it look refined. I'm so happy I took my coworker's advice and am sure I'll be back soon to see Alice!

    I was first introduced to Sara at Ouidad and from the first time she cut my hair, I knew I could trust her. I was heartbroken when she left, but thrilled when I learned she was working at Christo 5th Ave. Needless to say, I booked an appointment right away and I finally feel like myself again! I have loved every cut by Sara through to the next cut. It's amazing to find a stylist who listens to what you want, and cuts only what they say they will. Sara really knows curly hair, and makes it look amazing!

    If you have curly hair, do yourself a favor and try out Christo's! I have been going to Christo 5th Avenue for over a year now. Never in my life has anyone ever cut my hair as beautifully as Slava. He is a true curl expert! My curls used to get weighed down by the cut and just frizz - or my hair would get so bulky I would just keep it in a bun or pony tail. But for the last year I have had great curls. Slava also colors my hair and the color is the best I have ever had. It brings out my fair skin and blue eyes. I consistently get compliments at work, from relatives, and even when I am on vacation I have had strangers comment on my cut and color. I first went to Christo's just for a consultation. I was a little intimidated to go to a NYC salon on 5th avenue, but everyone is so gracious and welcoming. I remember also how excited Slava was to makeover my look, he really loves what he does. After a few months I got the hang of the Christo hair products Slava showed me how to use. I wash my hair, use leave in conditioner, then mix a little gel and lotion in my hand, use my fingers to comb it through my hair, blow dry and viola - I have a great head of bouncy curls. It sounds corny, but when I look in the mirror I am so pleased with my look I always have to smile and think "thank you" to Slava.

    Like so many other people I have gone through my fair share of hair cutting, always looking for the one person that would "get it right". Well, after many years of searching I have finally found that person, Christo. After many botched attempts by other so-called "experts", my curls were a real mess and in much need of serious TLC. After reading the other reviews about Christo, I decided to give it a shot and see if there was anything that he could do for me. My first visit with him was great! He took a good look at what we were working with and gave me a very educational consultation. At the end of that first visit I could have just hugged him! I looked in the mirror and couldn't believe what a fantastic job he did with what he had to work with. Before I left I made sure to schedule my next visit and he gave me a couple of recommendations to make my next visit even more successful than the first. I can't speak well enough about Christo and I highly recommend going to him once because after that first visit you won't want to go anywhere else.

    It's taken me forever to find a place in NYC I want to return to, but at last my searching has ended! If you're looking for someone to expertly work with your hair type, personal taste, and styling needs, Christo is your man. He took the time and consideration to give a cut that worked for me and was meticulous about the execution. I have fine hair and too many times stylists didn't take that or my more classic tastes into consideration, razoring wispy layers or giving me a style I didn't ask for - I believe in an attempt to disguise their lack of technical experience. Christo is amazing with the scissors and I got exactly what I requested - a chic, sophisticated cut that totally suits my hair type and style I was going for. He also did my color and it looks rich and shiny and absolutely perfect. A true professional, a great location, and friendly staff, what more could you want?!

    This is my first ever review but I have to let you know about Christo. He has been doing my hair for the past few months and has always exceeded my expectations. For the past few years I have been bored with my hair but also cautious to do too much to change it. The problem are: the color wasn't as bold as I wanted plus I didn't know what I wanted. Since Christo has been recommending his own line, I have been able to do so much more with my hair. Christo also colored my hair and it was perfect, again. WOW, when he was finished I looked fabulous. He captured what I have been looking for all these past years!!! I have needed him for a long time. As a true artist, give him the palette and let him do what he does best and you will be surprised.

    I Love, Love, Love Christo Fifth Avenue salon. This statement should not be taken lightly. Before I always thought that it was impossible to find an acceptable salon in NY, and thus, I resorted to cutting my own hair before letting someone else do it. Christo Fifth Avenue has been the answer to my prayers. Everyone is friendly and willing to assist you the second you walk in the door. I always make my appointments spontaneously, and they are consistently accommodating. Christo himself is my stylist and his precision and eye for detail are highly polished. He is very professional, yet appropriately conversational. An appointment with Christo never fails to brighten my day. I am always incredibly satisfied with the end result, as Christo is able to successfully communicate what should be done, what could be done, and what will be done. Thank you, Christo!

    I just went and had my hair done yesterday. Im so happy with the end result. I did the biosoftening with the deep treatment and I had a haircut. My hair was very curly and damaged. I feel like a new person. Tameeka is so patient and she listens to you (finally someone who cares about what you want) and she explains everything to you. She spent about 40 min just for the consultation. She showed me exactly how to style my hair and she wrote it down for me in detail. I ended up buying all the products she recommended because I was so happy with the end result. My hair is still curly but not the tight spirals I used to have, its a lighter curl. Plus when you soften up the curl your hair gets that much longer. They tell you if you are having trouble styling your hair you can come back anytime for help. They even sent me an email with links to videos to show you how to style your hair Be prepared however, to spend a lot. For me it was so worth it. I keep asking myself why I waited this long to go to Christo! I will recommend Christo to all my friends.

    I have very curly and thin hair (3b - I think). Dry it looks volumnous; wet you can see and feel how thin it is. I wore it somewhat long 10 years ago, and I want to return to that style. I spent months growing out my hair (particularly the side bangs), so that a good curly hairstylist could give it a good cut and it could continue to grow into a longer good look. The service @ Christo is great. Nice welcome. Warm environment. No luck for me with Slava. He didn't read my hair at all. I think he went into formula curly haircut number whatever. He recut everything I had just grown out, and left thin length that looked stringy and thin without the volume of the hair he had just cut. He used too much product for my hair - leaving it crunchy and unnatural. It looked terrible when I left, and it has been a cut to manage in the weeks after (you know, sometimes you go home, wash your hair, and it turns out it's a good cut but you just didn't like the styling). Michael did a good job with my color and highlights. It was a little blonder than I would have liked. I did buy some products and have found they can work for me if I don't use as much as Slava. He's a nice guy, but not for my head of hair.

While she was very nice, I have to say, that it was probably one of the worst cuts I've ever had. I actually asked her to blow it out -- which I never do -- so I could walk down the street. I then had to keep blowing it out until my next haircut, which was with someone else whom I trust. A friend, however, was there with Tameeka, and had a great haircut. I think Tameeka's probably best with Type 4 hair (African American).

    This talented stylist did an amazing job on my hair. I read up all the reviews before-hand so I was expecting her to be good and I'm glad to say I wasn't dissapointed. I made the trip to NYC to see family and I just couldn't miss the opportunity to get my hair done at the same time. I have never been able to get defined curls without having to manually twist them into shape, which is a major chore as my hair is so thick. With Curlisto products I don't need to do any of that ever again. The products are amazing, they make the hair feel soft, not at all hard or cakey.. and when you get your hair done there you get a complimentary training session on how to use all the products yourself from start to finish so you know how to get the same effect at home. I also got a few highlights put in by Michael, he did a wonderful job and he is too sweet. He consulted me very well, he listened and made sure he understood exactly what I wanted. I will definately be returning to NY for more of the same.

    After reading all of the glowing reviews about what a life-changing experience Christo's was, I decided to give it a shot while visiting NY. $367 later, I can't say that I was wowed. Slavo definitely spent a lot of time with me, he recommended a treatment for frizz that was $250 which I wasn't comfortable with (the cut alone was $135) so we did a deep conditioning treatment for $150. Now, I know I'm from Atlanta so things are a little different down here - a really expensive cut is maybe $75-80, and that's super pricey. so I was having a little bit of sticker shock...but I was expecting an amazing outcome, so I was okay with it. Well, my hair did look very nice when I left the salon, but I tried to explain to him that I have two kids under the age of 4, and not a lot of time to do my hair. He said my only option was the process he was showing me, which takes about 25 minutes. Anyway, like I said, my hair looked very nice - the curls looked beautiful, and had a lot of movement, but it wasn't earth-shattering. My husband actually asked me when I saw him if I had even had it cut. And when I tried to do the style myself, even with all the products and techniques, my hair basically looked like a slightly upgraded version of what I had started with. My hair is medium curly, and it's not so completely out of control, so I think that maybe if you have more unmanageable hair, you will notice a much more dramatic difference. I had a nice experience, and Slavo was a lot of fun. The salon is beautiful, but VERY pricey, so just be prepared.

    My experience with Slava at Christo's salon was truly incredible. I first visited the salon for a "curly hair seminar," and was intrigued by the styling process and products that were described at the event. After reading reviews on this site, I made an appointment with Slava, and was eager to see how he would cut and style my hair. Slava was kind and attentive from the moment we met, and took a great deal of time to study my curls. Slava patiently listened to my curly-hair obstacles, and then offered his advice for a haircut and treatment. I made it clear to Slava that I didn't want to take a lot off the length, and Slava was willingly to listen. He walked me through a cut that included artistic layers and flattering angles, and then proceeded to provide detailed lessons for styling my hair. Slava was never pushy about selling the Curlisto products, however once I saw how shiny and soft my hair was, I willingly purchased some of his recommendations. I was truly amazed by the service at Christo - Slava dedicated nearly an hour and a half to studying, cutting, and styling my hair, without handing me off to assistants. I truly felt that he understood my hair texture, and provided valuable styling tips. I keep getting compliments on his cut, and I will happily return to him in a few months. I wholeheartedly recommend Slava for a wonderful haircut and curly hair experience!

    I am typical workaholic..always busy and never having time to take care of my curls. But 3 weeks ago I had a meeting with a client of mine, who also had curly hair, and I was jealous! She really looked amazing. I asked her where she gets her hair done and she said Christo’s on 46th and 5th. So I made an appointment with the same stylist she goes to: Slava. I have to say, this guy really knows his stuff..He had different suggestions on what I can do, while I just had a simple request---make me look great! For me this was more of a makeover and so I let him do what ever he wanted as long as I can have beautiful and healthy hair. I spent a good 2 hours at the salon and it was such a great experience. He started with a haircut followed by an unusual color technique which I have never seen before; he put foils into my hair at the same time that he was coloring it. And the result? I have exotic looking chocolate brown hair with what I was told as Apricot highlights which brought out the definition of my curls. He also opened my face frame, which really brings out my eyes. All I can say is that I felt prettier than I have in several years. I guess change is good! Thank you Slava.

    I have always disliked my curly hair. It was often unruly and frizzy with no definition of the curls.Humid weather was a nightmare.After one visit with Christo my hair was completely transformed. Even in a torrential downpore my hair looks great.I now love my hair and am the envy of my curly haired friends.Christo not only gives a fantastic cut but he spends time teaching you how to style and care for your hair.His products are phenominal.Anyone who struggles with curly hair owes it to themselves to go to Christo. He is truly a miracle worker.

    I was so excited to finally visit Christo's salon after having to wait 6 weeks just to see Christo himself. After the cut and color he gave me, i truly understand how important it is to have a style that fits my lifestyle. So now, no matter how long the wait is, it is worth it! He even styled my hair after he was done cutting and coloring it, not like how some other stylists who have their assistants finish their clients off. Christo is not only a stylist, but a true educator when it comes to curly hair. After he was done cutting my hair, he gave me a hair "prescription" and the thing i loved most was that i didn't feel any pressure to purchase his entire line of products (even though i purchased almost everything he prescribed!) Thank you, Christo! You changed my life -- my curls have never looked better!

    I had visited the salon for my first visit. And I have to say it was an amazing visit, I had my hair done by a really educated young lady. She was very knowledgable about hair in general,and she told me about deep conditioning and then gave me a special treatment in the salon. Then she gave me what I beleive is the best haircut I ever had. I recently went back to my country and i have gotten so many compliments on my hair every one wants to know who did my hair and how can they get there hair to look the same and i said your gonna have to go to nyc and see rosa beacuse i dont think their is any one else who can do, what she did to my hair. I never looked better.

    I have kinky curly hair, which I fell in love with about two years ago after growing out a relaxer. I have had difficulty finding a stylist that is willing to work with the hair that I have, enhancing it, instead of trying to change it into something else or taking the easy way out by twisting or braiding. Tameeka works with your hair to make it the best it can be. I thought I was in love before but I've found new appreciation for my hair thanks to Tameeka's expertise. This stylist also scheduled enough time to REALLY educate me on how to properly maintain that salon look. She made product recommendations but didn't force the issue (though I just had to have the products she used to work her magic). She's really phenomenal!

    First I would like to thank you Ladies for this great web site, which gives everybody with curly hair support and guides about where to go for our haircut and products. I just had my haircut at Christo Fifth Avenue. From the man, himself, and finally I can understand my curls better. Believe me; I have tried everyone else before, nobody can do such a fantastic job as Christo. I guess I hold it back from Christo because his cuts are $395, but it is worthy every single penny, especially his educational consultation. He got my hands on to try how to style and showed me how many options of style I can get with his cut, and he told me he doesn’t like his clients to feel bored with their hair. Girls, you would not believe the options that you can have. He also mentioned, next time, if I want to try his other designers, it’s $135. And he promises I will be satisfied as well, because they are the stylists who teach with him. Thank you Christo! You changed my life.

    Having a haircut has always been a nightmare to me especially after a bad one. A friend of mine called me and suggested I should visit this hair stylist. She calls him “King Christo”. ‘Do I need to dress up to enter his kingdom?’ I joked and laughed. ‘Just go for a consultation. This man takes hair very seriously. He might be able to help you’, she said. After $100 consultation fee, Christo educated me for 15 minutes, and showed me how bad I was treating my hair, that’s why I hate my hair, not because my hair is that bad. (By the way, he is the most well dressed stylist I’ve ever seen in my life.) With his knowledge, I had the confidence in him. So he helped me to schedule an emergency appointment 2 weeks later. Back to his chair, after one and half hours haircut and treatment, I look like a Hollywood star. I wouldn’t even tell how much I ended up spending. The knowledge and transformation of my curls are priceless. You got to see it to believe it. Thank you Christo! You have another fan in your empire!

    Ok so yes I admit it! I ruined my hair from all those Japanese hair straitening. But I’ve always hated my curly hair; it’s always been such a pain taking care of it. I’m no expert on all those salons that “specialize” in curly hair so choosing the right place wasn’t easy. One of the places I went to was Christo’s and met with a young good looking guy named Slava. Although he was working on another client when I showed up he stopped by to introduce himself and offered me a glass of wine. The attention was definitely nice. It didn’t take long before he came by and we had a thorough conversation on what products they use at Christo’s and what options I have for fixing my hair. Besides the fact that he was very knowledgeable, I have to say he just made me comfortable. Slava wasn’t pushy and wasn’t trying to convince me of something that I didn’t want or need. I asked for an appointment and came back a few days later. And what can I say; this guy has magic hands or something ?. During the entire process I didn’t have a worry in the world as I could tell he knew what he was doing and my hair is in good hands. He didn’t rush and really took his time to find the best way to undo the mess I made. I generally don’t like to write reviews as there plenty of them as is, but I just wanted to recommend Slava, as he is not only a very knowledgeable and professional stylist, but also gave me the attention that other stylist sometimes don’t want to bother themselves with.

    It’s not that I discriminate against female stylists, but you know from all my experiences, I just find that men are better listeners. Sorry ladies! After reading the reviews on about Christo Fifth Avenue, I made an appointment with a stylist named Slava. The salon itself is very nice; brown & gold shades all around, leather couches and all the stylists dressed in black, kinda gave me this relaxing, soothing vibe in the middle of the busiest street in the world. Slava greeted me as soon as I arrived and offered something to drink before my wash. He started asking me if I have a particular look in mind or if I wanted his opinion on what he thinks would look great on me. This was nice for a change, for someone to actually care about my opinion. I wanted something new yet nothing too complicated that I wouldn’t be able to manage on my own, so he gave me several different suggestions and ideas. While I was getting my hair washed he came by several times and asked if I wanted anything or if I am comfortable. While he was cutting my hair we had a pleasant conversation and I didn’t even notice how time flew by and he was finished. Not only did he do a fabulous job, but he also gave me directions on how to keep up my hair so that it doesn’t only look great on the day I got it done, but every day. When I got home, my boyfriend said I look younger, so thank you Slava!

    Review:
    I decided to grow out my relaxer, and after a year and a half of having the new growth blown straight, I decided to cut the relaxed ends off. Tameeka was great, she decided not to cut it all off right away because I was used to having very long hair, and since I was having a baby, she suggested I needed it long enough to put in a ponytail. So she cut most of it back, conditioned my hair and made it so easy for me to deal with my new curls. Another 8 months later, she cut off the rest of the permed ends, and now I'm curly forever and LOVING it. The cut is fantastic, always looks great, is so easy to deal with. I can't believe I waited this long to grow out my relaxer.

    Parties, weddings, birthdays, everyone having a good time but for me getting ready for such events, was always unbearable. I was born with very curly hair which was practically impossible to manage and for years I dreaded getting ready in the mornings. My hair was always very frizzy, dry and unmanageable. During humid or rainy days I felt like putting a hat on because nothing helped. I have practically tried everything on the market from gels to special treatments. Now I am in my forties and finally a miracle has arrived. Not too long ago, I walked into Christo’s on 5th Ave. Slava, a bright, young stylist and hair expert patiently listened to all my complaints that I had for years, and offered me a number of chemical and non chemical solutions. We decided to start off with Anti-frizz and follow up with Intensive treatment and then continued with a great cut. Afterwards, he wrote me a personalized “hair prescription” but instead of pressuring me to purchase the entire line, he suggested that I finish some of the products that I have but to use the Deep Therapy Masque every week to maintain healthy curls. I was thrilled to hear that someone has finally created a solution for curly hair that is unmanageable. After so many years I will now finally look forward to getting ready for those special occasions. Thank you, Slava.

    I've been asking for Tameeka for years. She always gives me exactly what I asked for and made great suggestions along the way. I was letting it grow for years but then I went from very long to quite short and everyone said it was very sophisticated and made me look younger that my chronological age. The cut was unusual with a short back and longer sides in the front. I felt very glamorous.

I met with Tameeka over 2 years ago after being so very frustrated with the person I was dealing with. My cut was off, my color was horrible--much to dark for my light skin and I was at my wits end. Then, the miracle worker happened. We had a 2 ½ hour consultation, yes for I had loads of questions and Tameeka was up for the challenge. I wanted her to work her magic right then and there, not, for Tameeka was booked. Tameeka not only explained why the cut was off, but how to work the proper products to bring my beautiful curls alive. Needless to say, Tameeka has taught me to embrace my curls and I love, love, love my beautiful, healthy curls!!!

    Tameeka is a treasure. For years I have struggled with bad haircuts because so many stylists do not know how to cut curly hair. I was truly traumatized until I found Tameeka. She is great with curly hair and knows how to cut it to suit your type of curl and your facial features. I've been going to Tameeka for years and followed her from Ouidad to Christo and if she shoud ever leave, I'll continue to follow her. A note about the salon -- it's FABULOUS -- everyone there is great, friendly and the scalp massage you get when they wash your hair is worth the trip alone. The salon is trendy yet, unlike others salons, not the least bit snobby. I love Tameeka and I love Christo Fifth Avenue and his products ROCK!

    As a model, it's difficult to find a stylist and products to undo damage caused to my hair from the days and days of heat applied during photoshoots. Thank God for Tameeka. I grew out a relaxer and have 4B hair, and I can say truthfully that if not for her talents as a stylist with carving, slicing and styling. I would not so be such a faithful client. I followed her from her past salon, and I'll follow her wherever else she decides to work her magic.

    Since going to Christo I have been transformed!!! Five years ago I had supershort brassy colored hair because no one could help me to style it. Now my once frizzy mess is a head of long, thick and well defined curls. I am amazed. People acutally stop me on the street to compliment my hair! Like most curly haired folk I was traumatized by years of bad hair cuts; so it took me a while to trust the process at Christo. First I learned to style my hair. Wow!! Then Cyriano colored my hair a lush brown with caramel highlights. Finally, I trusted enough to let him use the anti-frizz. I am only sorry I waited so long and now I can't wait to have the bio-softening done. My hair just keeps getting better. I don't just tolerate my curls, but I even feel glamoruous with them. TRULY AMAZING!!!!!
