About Our Founder: Christina Oliva

Welcome to Olivia Christensen Salon and our new blog. Let’s get to know each other and give you some exciting updates about this blog, brought to you directly from the Olivia Christensen Salon Team. 

About Christina Oliva

Our founder, Christina Oliva is an award-winning hair extension specialist who has helped clients around the world regain their confidence and fall in love with their hair. There’s a reason she’s known as the Hair Goddess of NY, but her career wasn’t always so glamorous.  

Christina started her hair styling career over 18 years ago in her parents garage on Staten Island. She quickly gained devoted clientele and became a master of her industry thanks to her precision, compassion and intricate beaded extension technique. 

Since those early days, Christina has expanded her business to two intimate spaces in New York (NYC and Staten Island). She works with experts and world-class stylists to bring a sense of luxury to your local neighborhood salon. A place where you can walk in and be treated like family, and walk out with gorgeous, healthy hair. 

She has also had her own reality TV show on TLC called Hair Goddess, which you can see here

However, ‘Hair Goddess’ is not Christina’s only title. She’s also a devoted wife and mommy to three beautiful children. Her twins, Simona and Anthony and her rainbow baby, Naomi. 

Today, Christina is one of the most sought after hair extension specialists in the world. Whether her clients are suffering from hair loss or want to regain their confidence, she tailors each experience to their unique needs.

Who are our clients? 

As one of the most sought after hair extension specialists in the world, Christina has had the opportunity to work with many celebrities over the years. She recently worked with Jessica Markowski from Owning Manhattan and Olympic Medalist and TV presenter, Kaylyn Kyle Heath. 

In the past, we’ve worked with Dorothy Wang, Alix Earle, various politicians, and elite models. Always keep an eye out! You never know who you might see sneaking out of our private room. 

But Christina also has a long history of helping women who’ve been through cancer treatments. Most women know the power of great hair, but gorgeous locks can be especially transformative for women who’ve been through cancer. 

Christina’s specialized hair extension technique has helped thousands of women suffering from hair loss to feel beautiful again. You can learn more about her work with cancer survivors here
