Hi! My name is Christy Monaghan and I'd love to be your Hairstylist!

I love my job as it allows me to meet all kinds of interesting people and help them bring out their unique beauty.

I started doing hair when I was a kid...like every respectable hairdresser, I started on barbies. I graduated to my own bangs, trying out the mullet and various asymmetrical looks on myself. (I was waaaay ahead of my time in elementary school.) Later, my mom and I would paint bleach on each others hair and sit by our pool wearing copious amounts of QT.

My mom became a hair dresser in the early 80's. I think she could roll a perm in her sleep. To this day, when I smell a perm I am transported back to that time of my life.

As a young teenager, I would do everyone's hair cuts and colors while using the fact that my mom was a hairdresser as proof that I could. When I was 16, I finally went to beauty school. Sadly, I didn't finish.

It would take me 20 years to figure out that hair was what I really wanted to be doing.

I became a massage therapist and worked in this beautiful valley for 20+ years before I decided that I was called to do hair, and that I should go back to beauty school.

I'm so glad I did! I've been doing hair now for 11 years and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I work inside Oryn Salon in beautiful Napa, California. I enjoy doing all kinds of hair, from classic to crazy; simple to avant-garde.

It's important to me that you feel understood and heard when it comes to your look. That is why we will consult at the beginning of our appointment regarding hair style, hair product, upkeep, cost and timeframe. I promise I will always give you my opinion. I'll tell you if I think something is going to damage your hair or not be flattering. I also promise to listen. People often see things differently, so try to bring in pictures so I can share your vision.

I look forward to meeting you!

Sincerely,
