Christine Choi

I’ve been going to Christine for a couple of years. Christine is absolutely amazing! If you want someone that truly loves what she does and understand what a customer wants, Christine is your girl. She is extremely talented with color, honestly she is quite magical. Her ability in general is in a league of her own (cut, style, etc.).
Her salon is super cute and she is genuinely a super sweet person.

bob
after 2 disastrous attempts at balayage,
enough was enough.
christine cut a great bob
easy enough to manage
on a 2 month trip overseas
and has so far grown out very nicely.
great conversationalist and easy going,
would definitely visit again when im in la.
worth the steep prices.

Christine is a sweetheart.
My hair looks amazing. It hasn’t been so healthy and naturally highlighted ever.
Only downside is it’s very pricey but the way she does balayage means you don’t have to go often, twice or three times a year at most.
If you like more of a natural balayage that isn’t going to fry your hair then she’s the girl.

Finding a good hairstylist is harder than finding a man. Am I right or am I right? I know I’m right. I can’t remember the last time I left the salon chair feeling ecstatic and like a million bucks. That’s probably because it’s never happened until I met Christine.
She and her assistant, Lisa, were so sweet and friendly. Our time felt like we were girlfriend hanging out at my place, and Christine just decided to do my hair on a whim. I imagine that’s what Kim Kardashian does at home with her glam squad. Right after she gives Kanye his daily praise and breastfeeds little North.
During my consultation, Christine made smart and honest suggestions on which style would work best for my facial structure and side profile. She wasn’t afraid to tell me what would and wouldn’t work on me. Naturally, I felt comfortable putting my hair in her expert hands. I watched her practice her incredible attention to detail as she chopped off what felt like 10 lbs off of my head. The result is a weightless short cut with movement and texture; exactly what I wanted.
To paraphrase Sally V. below, my search is over.

This was my first time trying the ombré style and I wanted the best results and I got it! Christine is professional and very nice. They would constantly see if you need anything to drink or eat while you were waiting. My hair came out perfect except in the front which was to blond for my taste but she fixed it right away. You will be glad you made a appointment with her.

She is
. I’ve kept my ombré from 2013 for almost a year and a half (as you can see from my previous review) and have only come in for a toner or roots fill… and my hair still looked damn good! Finally went in for an ombré again after all this time and she ashed the hell out of me. I looooove my tresses so much that I had to share. Bottom line is, if you don’t want a ratchet head of hair and are serious about a good mane, visit Christine.

Wonderful job on my balayage! I wasn’t expecting highlights, had gone in for ombré. But decided against it after Christine analyzed my hair and mentioned it wouldn’t pick up the bleach that well due to my previous dye jobs. It turned out beautiful and I’m happy with the results.
Parking is a pain. But Lisa the assitant, gladly helped put more $ in the meter. I will come back to her own shop when she opens in Jan.

Christine is a Los Angeles hidden ‘gem’. She’s a super charming girl. While this salon is not a pampering palace, it is absolute value-​for-​money and exactly, precisely what you want when you are looking for someone that knows how to do a phenomenal job with color, style and/​or haircuts, etc. With hideously ethnic and slightly overwhelmingly thick hair that is far from low maintenance, I used to ask for a lot in my stylist before having the pleasure of meeting Christine — fast forward almost a year or more later, I just sit in her chair throw out some ideas and let her go about her business. She has never left me unsatisfied and has always given me the best color and cuts! Christine asks, she listens, she has a shrewd eye, suggests and asks again, and wow, the girl definitely has some skills! Salons listen up… Christine is the ‘Emily Post’ of customer service.

AMAZING! Christine is truly amazing at her job! She walks you through the steps she takes while dying/​cutting your hair! ;) NO BS! Her assistant is also super sweet! Great team! I’m so glad I found my new hair colorist/​stylist! Super super happy! I definitely recommend going to her if you want to color your hair because not only will she tell you how long it will take and how it is achievable, but she will let you know if your hair is in the condition to dye. She won’t rush, and damage your hair (unlike some colorist)!! :) GO TO HER!

The search is over! I’m so glad I found Christine. I went in today for a color correction and walked out feeling like a movie star. Christine and Lisa both worked on my hair. When I came in, I was giving coffee and they began working on my hair immediately. Christine walked me through the entire process and gave me great advice on what to do to take care of my hair.
My hair is pretty damaged from using flat irons and Christine was able to help give my hair a healthy look using her damage treatment. I love my hair! It feels stronger and looks amazing. I’ll let the picture speak for themselves. The color was exactly what I wanted. Needless to say, I’ll definitely be returning.

Okay, so the last review didn’t give very much details about why Christine was so good. I was still on a high from my new hair so all I could communicate was my excitement.
I went back today to get a partial because i wanted my hair a little lighter and to get some more dimension. She’s really great about being able to add on to existing highlights and what not. A big bonus is that her method of coloring will still look good even when my hair grows out.
I really can’t recommend her enough. Especially because my hair doesn’t look like it will be a hassle but it’s long and there’s a lot of it and she was so patient even though dyeing my hair took so long. Check her out!

Christine was the sweetest person ever, and is totally honest when it comes to what my hair needed. I haven’t cut my hair in about two years because I had a short above the shoulder hair cut and regretted it right after, so I told myself I wouldn’t cut it again. That is until I met Christine, she said my hair needed a trim and wanted to dye my hair in two sessions so it won’t be totally damaged, about three hours later I walked out with my hair feeling healthier and with a beautiful balayage perfectly blended! I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Plus the salon is super cute.

Christine colored my hair and did my hair for my wedding. It was perfect. She did the exact combo of elegant and messy boho that I wanted. I looked done up but not fussy and it lasted all night. She’s the best!

Thank you so much Christine for making me feel pretty for the first time in a long time :) Christine made me feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to do with my hair. I absolutely love it!

Christine is awesome! She magically turned my disaster ombré into a cute ash look. When I made the appointment with her, I simply told her I need some fix for my ombré. When we met yesterday, she was shocked how bad the color complexion was. Christine was very patient and explained to me the science of hair color. She is like a scientist but yet a true artist. Strongly recommend her to all the pretty girls out there!!!

Christine saved my hair! I went in with horrible wannabe ombré done a year ago by people that just didn’t know what they were doing. I used her website and emailed her prior to booking my appointment. She responded to my email the next day. When I first arrived she spoke with me for a long time to try to construct a plan on how to correct my cut and color. She was able to get my hair looking great after two visits. I actually had to reschedule my appointment with her. She was very quick to respond and took care of it right away. Christine is super nice and easy to talk to. After my last visit she also gave me a complimentary 4 weeks supply of hair treatment. I don’t think I would let anyone else other than Christine touch my hair ever again.
Love Love Love her!

It’s all Christine’s fault that my hair looks this good ;)

Christine is an artist. I’ve never colored my hair before, and with a new baby, I don’t have the time and money to do constant touch ups. But I missed my blonde hair. As I have «aged» my blonde has gotten darker. Christine recommended a balayage treatment, and I LOVE it! I got my golden blonde back! She has a skill with incorporating the color so it looks natural.
Also, she is very knowledgeable in hair care, and gave me a cute cut, too! She was fun to talk to, as well! Thank you Christine!

So… just had another haircut with Christine, and per usual, I was annoyingly anal about my hair. I don’t know why I ever doubt her — my hair looks the best it has in a long, long time — she nailed it. Go to Christine! Seriously.

I had Christine for an Ombré style. I absolute love it! She did an amazing job and I’m really glad to have found her. Judging by the results, you can tell that Christine is very talented and passionate in what she does. I couldn’t ask for a better stylist.
Thank you Christine. I will definitely come back soon! oxox
