CRISTINA BATISTA, CO-FOUNDER
A graduate of the New England School of Cosmetology in Connecticut, Cristina received her license and moved abroad to continue her education hands on. After many years of working in salons, Cristina branched out and began a new journey as co-owner of BriAry Hair Studio, now expanded to BriAry Hair Studio & Salon Suites.

With more than 25 years of experience, Cristina has gone through — and continues to go to — numerous classes focusing on advanced industry techniques and trends. She uses this knowledge to educate new stylists in her salon and encourage them to grow. Many of her stylists have grown to occupy the Salon Suite units.

Most of Cristina’s clientele has been with her for more than 20 years. Her goal is to always create the best experience possible for each of her clients. “It is all about them. I always try to offer my professional opinion and give them honest and realistic options that would best suit their desires.”
