Crissy’s Color & Cuts

I have never had a better person do my hair! Her coloring is great – people stop me all the time and comment on my hair style. There is no one better than Crissy! Her prices are reasonable and you will enjoy her company as she cuts your hair!!!

I am just adding one more review to all the other complimentary one’s for Crissy. She is truly talented, probably because she adds smarts to experience. The end result is exceptional. I’m not sure how she was able to do what so many others have failed at, but she did, and I am now her loyal customer. Thanks for a great cut and perfect color.

Crissy is the best. And I am crazy obsessive type-​A picky about my super-​straight relies on a perfect cute to shape it hair. And I am a consoisseur of bob-​style cuts, which I have rocked on and off for my whole life.
And Crissy makes me happy. Her color is fantastic too. I regularly get asked if I get my hair cut at Vidal Sassoon. And I love revealing that no, it’s actually a sassy Berkeley punk rocker who does my hair at a freaking STEAL.
No, she’s not actuvely taking new clients. But she does occasionally take walk-​ins if she has time between appointments. It is worth stalking her a little. Not in a restraining order way though – she definitely wouldn’t like that.
Crissy is technically excellent at what she does and she is very fun to be held captive by for the length of time she’s working on your hair. If you like your perfect hair with a side of dry wit, tastefully stalk Crissy within the boundaries of the law.

My husband has been going to Crissy for a couple of years now. He looks great and the cut grows out well. He’s told me several times how happy he is with her services — easy to schedule an appointment and very down to earth person.

Ok so WOW! Thank you Crissy! Even if you are no longer taking clients, you surely DO NOT NEED TO BE RUDE ON THE PHONE!!! I was polite and asked a simple question on availability to only receive a pause with NO! followed by a non responsive gesture and click to my Ok Thank You! I went to Unilocal to only see at the bottom that she’s not taking clients sorry for missing that one!

I forced myself to wait a month to write this review. The hair is still good.
I found Crissy on Unilocal after looking for someone who could give me a cut and color. I have only dabbled in highlights– and I wanted something to finally cover my gray. I also needed a fresh style.
Crissy studied my head of wavy hair, looked at the pictures I brought (mostly of Meg Ryan), and then went to town. She gave me «sparkly chestnut» lowlights and «ashy blond» highlights, she wasn’t afraid to chop off my hair for the first visit, and she peppered the conversation with honesty and down-​home bar– worthy words.
I now have a new look that is professional but not boring –a mod 60’s kind of thing– that even the mechanic noticed. I ‘m happily not blond («I knew you didn’t want to go a blond as the pictures»). Even better, this working mom was in and out in 2 hours for $ 90 plus tip!
I knew I was hooked when Crissy said,” I don’t like to do hair for high maintenance chicks.” Wash and go, come back every 4 months. Perfect!

Crissy’s cut my hair twice so far and has been great. I know people want haircuts that garner compliments, but I want one that’s fuss-​free and low-​maintenance. The true test for me is the percentage of time I end up putting my hair up in a ponytail out of frustration. With both haircuts, I’ve never been tempted to do so.
Plus her rates are extremely reasonable ($ 30 for haircut) and she has the cutest shop dog buddy.

FYI, unfortunately she is not taking new clients.

Sick of going to salons where you have to sit in a huge, loud room with 10 other people while you get enough foil stuck on your head to pick up a radio signal?
Sick of chatting with the vapid stylist who natters endlessly about Brangelina and recounts every episode of Keeping up with the Kardashians in excrutiating detail?
Sick of expressing your specific and uncomplicated hair desires and having them summarily ignored, only to exit the salon looking like a country music singer from the neck up?
Then Crissy is your girl. Hang out in her secluded, one-​chair salon, give her dog Auggie some love, chat about baseball and her impressive carpentry habit, and get the cut and color you want.

If I could give Crissy more stars, I would.
My ex used to get his hair done by Crissy, and he always looked great. He was a stingy, picky bastard who wouldn’t let anyone touch his hair with a razor– only scissor cuts. Crissy indulged him, made him look fabulous, and didn’t even raise the price because he was such a pain in the ass. He wouldn’t let me go to Crissy while we were dating because he told her all his secrets. ;)
As soon as we broke up, I called Crissy! I had a neo-​mullet as the result of volunteering as a model for a friend who was in cosmetology school. Crissy came up with a game plan, and now my hair is back to fabulous. She’s great with color, too. I’ve done everything from highlights to darkening, and she always knows exactly which color is going to look best with my skin tone.
Her prices are UNBELIEVABLE. I can’t believe the value you get, the personal friendly service, and the quality of cut for the prices she charges.
The icing on the cake is that her salon is dog-​friendly. Love it!

I love going to see Crissy for my cuts and color. Not only does she do a superb job with my extremely thick and curly frocks but she understands I don’t want to be sitting in a chair all afternoon and gets things done. I get as many compliments about my hair now as I did when I was in my 20’s. Awesome.

Same great hair service from the same great Crissy over from Avenue Cuts. Except now, you can experience it all in the confines of her OWN comfortable, cozy, pleasant, and hip little shop!

Crissy gave me a trim and listened to exactly what I wanted. I had a butcher cut my hair several months ago, and use a razor which on my long blonde locks was fatal, one layer was cut two inches long and it stuck up on top of my head.
I found Crissy on Unilocal.She cleaned up all the wispy ends, we both knew I needed 3 inches off but I wanted to keep my length, she totally heard me and cut it dry so we could see how it looked right away. I was happy with that. Now Im not afraid to back for another trim, in about 4 months the ugly razor ends will be gone. thanks Crissy. Great price for me also.

For those of you who used to go to Avenue Cuts, CRISSY KING is now at this NEW LOCATION, and she is as wonderful as ever!
I’ve been going to Crissy for the last five years. I live in Connecticut now and still fly back to see her (Connecticut hairstylists do not understand Asian hair). Crissy is a genius when it comes to recommending color and layers. I always feel fabulous when I step out of her salon.
Her cuts are always great and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

I’ve been going to Crissy for years to do my hair, and she is the best there is. As good as a cut as you’ll get at a more expensive salon, just not nearly as much cost out of pocket. Her new place is beautiful, much better than her old digs.

I had a number of expensive haircuts that were good but ultimately left my hair stringy and lifeless. Crissy really listened to what I wanted and understood how to make the most of my fine, thin head of hair. She is fun to talk to and her hair cuts are too cheap! I enjoyed meeting her dog Augie but if you don’t like dogs, he won’t bother you. He’s quite a couch potato.

Crissy’s AMAZING! I’ve been searching for someone new to do both color and cut for over 2 years now. Crissy spent all of about 2 seconds looking at my hair before she gave me a complete ‘play by play’ of my last appointment — what they did, what they probably told me and then why they told me what they told me. It took the last place 3+ hours to burn a chunk of my hair off while trying to make it blond and then give me a bad cut/​hustle me out the door. It took Crissy less then 2 hours to not only fix it (cut and color!!), but to also make it look like I just walked out of a makeover — and at about ¹⁄₃ the price! She knows her Sh*t!
