Christian is amazing! He took great care of me, and made my hair look better than it ever has before. Between the great hair and great conversation, I come out of the appointment feeling new and refreshed. Anyone looking for a proper hair stylist should look no further!

Christian is the best stylist to ever have done my hair, period. He has styled my three daughters since they were very young and now the two eldest who work and live in San Francisco make appointments whenever they’re going to be in town visiting. They’ve never found anyone better either😊

I haven't had a haircut in a salon since March 2020. Christian lightened and brightened my hair. It also made me feel 10 pounds lighter. Christian works hair magic. I will be recommending Christian to my wife and anybody looking to shed the COVID Isolation hairstyle. It is one person in the Studio at a time and cleaned prior to the next appointment.

I went to see Christian after not have my hair done for almost 5 months, so it’s not like he was walking into a regular touch up. We talked a bit about what I was looking for but I primarily gave him creative freedom. And I LOVE my hair now! It’s perfectly blended, can’t tell that I neglected my hair for so long. Not to mention that we had great conversation the whole time. Christian is very personable and amazing at what he does. Definitely give him a try, I guarantee you’ll stick around!

Christian is a real professional. I book my cuts with him and am really impressed with the level of personal education and credentials he has for all the other services he provides for his female clientele. Christian is a big advocate for professionalism in his industry. I would definitely recommend him.

Christian is one of the most talented and innovative hair artists. He learns your needs and can amaze you with his ability to see a vision of making you look your best. This award winning artist is modest and deserves the recognition of a true professional and his passion for hair is only surpassed by his great personality!

Christian is the best! He makes me feel so welcomed and with the online scheduling, it's easy to get an appointment. He's always professional and I walk out feeling better each time. Oh, and I always get an amazing haircut!

I am so grateful to have Xtian as my hair and beard specialist. I have been working with him for three years and look forward to my regular visits to maintain "lawyer professional" hair. I consider him a good friend. The studio is comfortable and friendly--and Xtian always accommodates my last-minute scheduling requests. I strenuously recommend his services to any man or woman looking for help with their look/style......

I found Christian at least half a dozen years ago when my former stylist moved to CA. I quickly discovered that not only is he an extremely talented artist (with hair, makeup and more!), but he's also a really sweet and thoughtful person. My hair is fine and slow to grow. That means if I get a bad cut, I have to live with it for a long time. I'm happy to say that as long as Christian is around, I'll never have to worry about that again. I usually wear my hair super short, and Christian's short 'dos are the best I've ever had. A few years ago I also let my hair grow a bit longer — and the growing-out process normally drives me crazy – but with Christian behind the scissors, it was way easier. We've also had some fun with color. Several times I've had people stop me in the store or wherever to ask me where I have my hair done, and I'm always delighted to send them to Christian. I know they'll find him as phenomenal as I do.

I have been going to Christian for 3 years. He is the only one who has gotten my color right and in a way that allows me to blend my natural in with the color so there is no line as my hair grows in. He knows I have an auto immune disease so he makes sure the product he uses will work for me. On top of that he is the only one that has mastered my 16 year old son’s thick hair and has my son walking out the door happy every time! He is our hair hero and an amazing guy as well!!

I have been seeing Christian for about 3 years. He is amazing with color and does wonderfully fantastic and creative cuts on my short hair. He's kind, funny and he listens to what I am wanting as a client.

I truly enjoyed going to Christian to get my haircut. He does a great job and is a blast to spend time with. I highly recommend him!!

If you are looking for a knowledgeable stylist that creates beautiful color while maintaining the health of your hair, Christian is the stylist for you. I walk in and immediately feel confident I’ll be leaving feeling like a million bucks! I only trust Christian from Shade Studio Salon touching my hair.

I’ve been going to Christian for over 20 years now. He’s amazing as a colorist. I’ve pretty much stayed true to platinum blonde over the years and I’ve had no damage from years and years coloring and I owe that to Christian. He listens to what I want. He’s taken me from long to short cuts. He’s styled me. He even did my hair for my wedding. Christian is a true artist.
