Cristiaan’s salon instils in the visitor a sense of trust and safety. He keeps the likes and dislikes of his clients in mind. He makes his client to feel comfortable. A client may not specify certain things. These are highly individualistic– as individual as one’s signature. A great hairstylist is a good listener. A hairstylist also acts as a psychiatrist in whom the client reposes his faith and with whom they share their innermost secrets. There are two types of clients–those who know what they want and those who must be told what suits them best. A great hairstylist gauges the texture of the hair. While colouring the hair, the client’s skin tone must be considered. A haircut must suit the shape of the face. Lifestyle also affects the hairstyle, e.g a sport person wants low maintenance hairstyle and a socialite does not mind high maintenance one. A client must be led to a radical hairstyle gradually so that he/she gets confidence to carry it off. A hairstylist must suppress his ego. There are clients who are not ready to compromise on hair length. Then blunt fringe or layers can be tried. While cutting hair, the client must be told constantly about the process.Cristiaan does not like to go against the basic nature of hair, e.g. he does not like to straighten the curly hair. He adores simple and elegant hair cuts. Except for socialites, he avoids high maintenance hairstyles. He prefers wash-and-go hairstyles. He advises that health of the hair can be improved by regular trim and deep conditioning. He does not favour oiling which attracts grime. He does not favour food products like eggs, curd and beer which are applied on the hair. These atr meant to be eaten. It is good to take a diet of green vegetables, fruits, vitamins and consume lot of water. Henna is outdated, as advanced colours are available. He keeps his client’s preferences in mind, and does not believe in giving the same haircut to everyone.He keeps himself updated by attending workshops and reading books. He keeps using his imagination and doing experimentation.He does not blindly ape fashion hairstyles. Some of his celebrity clients are Hrithik Roshan,Arjun Rampal, the late Jiah Khan and Madonna.
