Welcome back! When we first started the blog, we did an introduction post for our founder, Christina. Our intention for the blog was to introduce ourselves, share news, bring you the latest hair trends, and share our favorite products! And we realized it was time to introduce you to the rest of the team.
We’ll start with a quick blurb about our founder, Christina (if you’d like to read her full story, you can find that here). Then we’ll introduce you to the rest of the team.
Christina Oliva (Founder)
Our founder, Christina Oliva is an award-winning hair extension specialist. 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.
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.
Victoria (Hair Extension Specialist)
First things first, let’s introduce you to Victoria!
Victoria is Christina’s sister, and they’ve been working alongside each other in the hair business for 13 years. She told us that Christina has helped pave the way for her, teaching her so much about hair extensions over that time.
As a stylist, she feels blessed to make each client not only look their best, but feel their best as well. For Victoria, it’s important that she forms a strong relationship with each of her clients. When you come to see Victoria, you’ll instantly have a new friend for life.
Sandra (Hairstylist & Colorist)
Now let us introduce you to Sandra, another hairstylist and colorist with us.

Her journey started in Toronto, Canada before leading her to Manhattan, New York where she has been a part of our team since 2016. Over the years Sandra has collaborated with Christina to deliver exceptional results. She tailors every service to fit each client’s unique hair type – whether fine or thick.
You’ll always leave Sandra’s chair feeling confident and flawless.
