Sooo I did a thing and got hair extensions for the first time by Stephany who is the kindest, sweetest, and most caring hair stylist I've probably ever had. So in the end it turned out amazing. For any other first timers what I learned was go shorter the first time than you might actually think you want especially if you have shorter or finer hair to start like I did. It was quite the learning experience altogether. I first went in on a Monday and Stephany spent so much time treating me; colored my real hair fist to get the consistent color throughout then she added in the 20" extensions, cut and trimmed, and then toned the extensions after I originally went with a mix of dark brown and some highlighted brown extensions. The color match wasn't quite right so she toned the extensions after they went in. She layered the hair and the top of my actual hair to transition better. She dried and styled my hair but it was pretty late so the color before I left was hard to tell on the color because the natural lighting was gone. The next day I sat on it and decided it wasn't quite right for me. I messaged the salon and the Owner Christy was so kind and told me to come back in so we could get it right. That she did. I ended up coming back after a few days and Christy and Stephany helped me get it perfect! They cut several inches off like maybe 4-5" to get a more natural look for me personally and she added in lots of layering and recolored the extensions to get them closer to my natural hair rather than a balayage look because it wasn't quite right yet. Stephany and Christy were so gracious and didn't make me feel weird about wanting an edit. They treated me so well and honestly it's better than I imagined having had such thin hair I never thought it could be like this. I didn't pay anything extra to get it how I wanted it. So anyhow thank you for everything I'm so happy with the end result! Y'all are the best! read more

Christy did an AMAZING job on my highlights without damaging my hair! She was able to get my color nice and bright and icy without making it purple or mauve, which I've had happen before. If you're looking for a blonde specialist, this is your girl! read more

Christy Richardson - Highlights - Hair Stylists Near Me - Roseville, California

After 5 years searching for a stylist that could give me, very simply, what I asked for I finally found Christie! She gave me literally the best color I've ever had...much better than I dared to hope! She is just an amazing stylist...I would highly recommend her to anyone...if you are on the fence, searching for greatness...call Christie immediately! Thank you again Christie! I'm so very happy with both the color and cut...you are awesome!! read more

WHERE DO I START. Christy you're an absolute miracle worker!!! I've always been hyper picky about stylists especially when it comes to trying to achieve a certain type of blonde. I've been through the ringer in the past (many dollars later) and I will say, hands down, she is the BEST OF THE BEST. I live in Los Angeles but I refuse to go anywhere else. Beyond her talent and passion for hair, she is the most lovely, energetic human being that you never want to leave once your appt is over. read more

Wow. The first time Christy saw my review, she texted me with a bunch of excuses as to why the appt went the way it did. It's sad to see that she resorted to sharing blatant lies in her response. I'm actually happy with MOST of the hair salons I've been to. This is one of 2 hair salons that I rated 2 stars (my lowest rating for a hair salon) in at least the past 2 years, while most of them are 5 stars. I would've gone back to the sweetheart who put my extensions in, but she moved out of state. The type of response I got from you definitely warrants a 1 star review now. I know for a fact that I was less than 10 minutes late - you are pulling the "20 minutes late" and "walked in at 8:52am" out of your butt. I told you at the appt that it was my first time getting hair extensions - at no point during our text conversation did you say the price and appt was limited to 40 extensions. After I made the appt online, which also did state these limitations, you texted me to ask if I had hair and what type of extensions I had. This would have been a GREAT time to ask how many tape-ins I needed move up. Just because "On an average client I usually see 40 tabs of tape in extensions" doesn't mean every new customer who books with you can read your mind and knows your averages. I would've rather been turned away than undergoing that painful, rushed, horribly done appt. Especially since I had nowhere to go that night, which you also lied about in your response. I don't ONLY buy my hair on Amazon - this was my first time buying hair, and it was from Amazon. I wash my hair every day, and had those extensions in for 6 weeks. What was I to do about the oily residue from the tape - other than wash my hair a bunch, which I already did? If you saw it as a problem, again, I would've LOVED if you turned me away instead, or suggested using dish soap that you mentioned during the appt before having me come back. I felt that paying you cash was doing you a favor because it would avoid the credit card fees that usually end up being charged to the person providing the services. Wow - when I asked to come in to get a lighter piece moved, you replied once with "Hi I will try to get you in this week. Friday." When I asked "What time?, you didn't reply until you saw my review - A WEEK LATER. Feel free to check out the pictures of our text convo, Everyone. How was I supposed to book an appt if you weren't getting back to me? Yes, you have online booking, which I love, but I didn't see an appt option for "Fixing extensions that Christy put in wrong", and you would've been the best to judge how much time was required for the appt. I also hope anyone reading this checks my other reviews to see that I have an even mixture of positive and negative reviews, and also takes a look at the kind of response they'd get if they, heavens-forbid, have a bad experience with you. I'm SO sorry you're sooooo bitter about this review, especially since all the issues could've been remediated if you asked better questions before the appt. It's even worse that you decided to respond with lies about the experience. Bad taste. read more

Christy Richardson - Ombré Blonde - Hair Stylists Near Me - Roseville, California

Great cut/color, but since I was a new client, I believe that costs should have been discussed beforehand. My fault because I assumed it would be the same as I paid when I lived in Carlsbad, Pleasanton & Walnut Creek in upscale shops. Since it wasn't mentioned, I "assumed" it would be comparable, since the length has barely gone below my chin. The cost was over $300 w/an expected tip. I've lived in some pretty expensive places in the last 2-3 years & have had my hair glazed, extra treatment during shampooing, etc. It still never reached this price. read more

Christy is an absolute miracle worker. She has completely transformed my hair, as well as my confidence level. She is extremely sweet, educating, friendly and professional. I am always excited when I have an appointment with her. You can tell that she is passionate in what she does and it shows in all of her work. I've referred plenty of friends and acquaintances (both men and women) to her who all feel the same way. Her coloring and extension techniques are nothing short of amazing! I 10/10 recommend her for all your hair care needs :) read more

Christy is by far the most experienced hair extension stylist I have seen. She is educated in all types of hair extensions and styles. She is fun to talk with I feel like she's part of my family. read more

Christy is Amazing! She has had done my hair for years. I have natural dark brown hair , and she has been able to get me blonde , red , back to brown , then highlights and even purple! Now I have very light blonde hair , with a beautiful shadow root and gorgeous 22in extensions. I was very hesitant about getting extensions installed because I had heard negative things from other people ; they itch or they hurt , and that they can be hard to sleep with . But that is not the case with me ! I love my extensions and I can't imagine life with out them . It's always a pleasure coming in to see Christy , she is so accommodating and turns my vision in to reality. I love the Olaplex treatments she offers , my hair feels so healthy and soft afterwards! I work at a salon suite as a lash artist and I always get so many compliments on my hair ! read more

Christy did an amazing job with my hair, it looked terrible before I came in and she made it look much better by the time I left. I came in with a few pictures that I sent through our messages prior, but she recommended me some other styles that would take less time (ash blonde) to which I agreed because her rate was very high. She charges $100 an hour which is astronomical, so I didn't want to take more time in her salon chair. I wish she had taken the lightness up a bit more, but that's life yeah, win some lose some. I won't be coming back because of the cost and my experiences listed below, places in the Bay Area have better customer service and are much less expensive. Along with this, she unprofessionally answered her phone while doing my hair and left working on me to look at her coworkers clients... This is what caused me to drop a few stars, her work is great but the beliefs of the workers in the lavender salon is what got me messed up. - -Before coming in, I noticed a "blue lives matter" flag sticker on the front of the building... police brutality... look it up, Black lives matter. Blue lives don't exist, police wear the uniform for 40 hours a week and can take off the shirt at the end of the day. Black and brown people cannot remove the color of their skin. Throughout my time in the chairs, she presented many racist micro aggressions that made me very uncomfortable along with ableist comments. I'll try to mention all that I could remember from this time I was there because you should know where your money is going. 1) She made a comment about Asians and proceeded to stretch her eyes, making fun of stereotypical Asian features. 2) called a Native American woman client "slow" for experimenting with Bisexuality 3) asked me "what nationality are you", called me "exotic", asked me if people ever ask me if I'm Mexican because of my thick eyebrows, and said I look racially ambiguous (these are all micro aggressions, read about it) My ethnicity isn't a guessing game. I was deeply saddened by this. 4) said women in the military are becoming bisexual because "everyone else is" on base as if bisexuality is a choice. This invalidates the struggles bisexual humans face when thinking about their sexualities. Queerness isn't a costume and by saying that, you're making it out to seem like it is one. Nobodies sexuality interferes with your life, they're not hurting you, let people live their lives and mind your business. 5) has an autistic family member and got annoyed that he gets fixated on her moms pool and that this will affect her vacation plans. This is ableism, please correct this behavior it's disrespectful to your nephew and other people with autism. 6) wore her face mask below her mouth during the entirety of the day because she's over the whole pandemic and cares more about her own comfort... wearing a face mask is to protect other people along with yourself. We are living during a pandemic, you can't just expect it to go away without doing any work to eliminate it... my mom works in a hospital where they must wear a mask for over 8 hours along with layers of PPE, it gets hot but the mask isn't a choice. I should've fake coughed. I should've done more research to find a place that actually has morals, but these days, racism isn't as out in the open. Not all racist white women are Karen's, some are quiet Christys. This is only what I can remember.. I can't even imagine what she says behind closed doors to peers about racial issues etc. I tried to be as objective as I could. What I've learned from today is that I need to do more research on places that I shop and on services I receive, if you have read this far and want to support Black businesses, go to my yelp page because I'll be compiling different Black owned businesses in NorCal to support. And Christy, before you respond, ask yourself, "Will my response be invalidating this person's experience?" Thank you for the hair, I like it but your comments and actions are sick in a bad way. 2.5 stars because the micro aggressions read more

Love her! She listens to what you want and has a great chair side manor. Super talented! I relocated from the bay area and was thinking I would commute back to the Bay Area to continue to get my hair done but now I know that's not necessary! read more

Christy Richardson - Hair Stylists Near Me - Roseville, California

Let me first start by saying Christy is amazing at what she does. I looked online at many different salon that can put in hair extensions and I couldn't find any good ones and I stumbled on to this page. I texted her and right away I got a response. I came in and she colored my hair to match the extensions because there was a slight color difference. The result was a little darker. She layer my hair to blend it well with the extensions. After a week I wasn't happy with the color difference, so I texted Christy and she told me to come in so she can fix the color and reposition some extensions. She did everything that I need and it came out great. Totally recommend her to everyone! read more

I love Cristy super sweet and I have been going to get my hair done by her since 2016! If you wanna go blonde I definitely recommend her !

Christy is an exceptional stylist. She is passionate about hair and making her clients look their best. Her technical skills cutting, styling and especially color are some of the best of not the best in the area. She is also just a very fun, outgoing person with great energy. read more

Had an appt with Christy, she always fits me in because mornings works best for me, coming from bay area and having hair extensions for over 17 years, Christy knows exactly what I want and always exceeds it!

Christy is awesome! I was new to the area and needed my extensions removed and hair trimmed and she did a quick and amazing job. I could tell she's great with hair and will be going back for color ASAP! I highly recommend trying Christy! You won't be disappointed! read more

I went to her for awhile loved it. She moved to another salon and ghosted you sad! I guess it's not about her clients more about the money.

I hesitated from posting this but because I am still miserable weeks after my appointment, I felt I needed to share. Christy may be great with extensions but not with scissors or highlights. She chopped off 3-sides of my hair, leaving one side the same and overprocessed my highlights so she could take care of another customer. My hair is absolutely ruined and will take months to recover. I am too embarrassed to post photos. read more

I don't even know where to start! Christy is amazing!! First, I sent a message late last night for an urgent appointment as I got hit with a last minute Christmas Party. She responded immediately and got me in first thing this morning!! Christy is phenomenal with hair color. I had a general idea of what I wanted and she turned it into something more magical than I ever expected. Hands down this is the best cut/color I have ever had. My husband loves it, my 10 year old son loves it (he has never, ever commented on my hair until today!) and my 14 yr old daughter gave her stamp of approval too and said it was gorgeous. In my book meeting Christy today was a huge WIN! read more

Love! Christy is a hair magician, I've been going to her for over a year now. I started going to her with extremely fried damaged bleached blonde hair. And she was the doctor I needed! In the last year I've had several inches in growth my hair stronger in a lot healthier. Every 9 months I get new 22 inch extensions all's I can say is the quality of hair she has for extensions is amazing little breakage and it lasts so long. Thank you Christy for making me feel and look beautiful read more

Excellent service! Best stylist I have found for extensions, color, cut, and Brazilian blowouts. I came in originally for color, and now do Balmain extensions and Brazilian blowouts. She is an expert with extensions. She is very gentle and always takes her time to make everything perfect. Going to her is a hair game changer! It's also super easy to book an appointment with her through Yelp. She told me to text her again if she ever doesn't reply right away because she gets lots of texts, so I know I'm not bugging her! read more

I went to Christy, after losing my stylist of 20 years. Christy did an amazing job with my cut and color and I am so happy! I showed her a picture of what I was hoping to achieve and she knew exactly what to do. I would highly recommend her! read more

Christy is absolutely amazing. I'm typically very anxious and intimidated when getting my hair done because I don't go very often. After a very rough few weeks with sick children, my husband told me to treat myself with a trip to the salon. I figured it'd be impossible to find someone before Christmas, but Christy responded immediately to my Yelp request and said she could squeeze me in. She listened to what I asked for even though I didn't have a clue what I was talking about. She was detailed oriented and incredibly kind. I had a blast getting my hair done and absolutely LOVE my hair! I am a natural blonde and usually end up with a horrendous haircuts because of my fine and thin hair. Not the case with Christy, my low lights look incredible and my highlights are absolutely perfect. I recommend Christy to ANYONE!! You won't be disappointed. read more

I went to Christy today for the first time and she is awesome as a person and hairstylist. I got my hair colored and cut. I highly recommend her. Lavender salon is great with a cool atmosphere. Thank you, Christy for being so awesome! :) read more

Christy is amazing! Called in late to see if she could fit me in a she did. Took care of my hair wonderfully I used to have a great hair dresser growing up but since moving out here I just avoided hair cuts because of people who didn't listen to what I want and would hack my tin hair short and made it where it wouldn't grow much past me shoulders. I used to have nice long hair and she gave me pointer and made my hair super nice to touch again. Defiantly coming back for all my hair needs and recomending her to everyone. read more

Christy really cares about the integrity of your hair! She gives great advice on how to get your hair longer and healthier. Since I use bleach she turned me on to olaplex, which has been keeping my hair healthy and allowed me to lighten the entire bottom section with no breakage!!! She also does permanent makeup & microblading. I had my eyebrows done a few years ago & just recently went in for a touch up. My brows were sparse in the middle so she corrected the shape and they look fantastic. If you're looking for a great stylist in the Rocklin area go see her. read more

A friend recommended that I see Christy Richardson to help with my difficult hair. I have red hair and I color it with blonde high and low lights. It's very hard to get the shade of blonde that I want, without the red or brassy colors showing through. I explained to Christy what I was looking for and she was confident that she could do it. I am happy to say, this was probably the best experience I've ever had, especially for a first time visit! She was so experienced and knew exactly what colors to use and the right toner. I only got a partial but it felt like a full! There were so many foils and so much coverage! I especially love that she went all the way to the root! I hate leaving the salon and looking like I already have growth. She is a perfectionist and really knows what she is doing. I'll definitely be going back to her and I recommend you give her a try too! read more

I just moved to Rocklin & Christy was the first person I called for my Hair questions after finding her on yelp. She is amazing!! She was able to take me from blonde to brown super quickly.

I'll definitely be coming back to her for my hair from now on. read more

After searching Yelp for a stylist to do the Brazilian blowout on my daughter I came across Christy on yelp. Because of her stellar feedback and 5 star rating I thought I would reach out to her.

My daughter is beyond excited about her new look. We will be back! read more

Wow! My hair turned out AMAZING! Christy is an expert when it comes to long hair. I've had my share of bad stylists, trust me. I looked at all her pictures online before I came in and was really impressed with her work. Booking the appointment was simple. I came in for a consultation & matched my color and set my appointment for a week later. I can't get over how well my extensions blend into my real hair and how comfortable they are. She did the NBR method on me for the first time and I'm so excited I can wear my hair up in a ponytail without worrying about my extensions showing. I have tried every extension method out there and this is my new fav. They feel very secure. She cut my hair so the layers tapered down making my real hair look like just another layer. I Enjoyed talking with her during my services and she seems really experienced. The whole appointment was awesome and I almost forgot to mention they serve wine! read more

Christy is excellent is this business. I love the way she does my color...
