Chris Buzbee thoroughly enjoys her career as a designer, beginning with her attendance at Parsons School of Design in NYC and working as a young designer with her own business. Chris opened her first salon in the resort of North Shore, Lake Tahoe with a commitment to hair design as another incredible form of beauty and expression.

Out of a need to heighten her education she moved back to the Bay Area and immersed herself in hair color, styling and treatment. She was approached to teach make-up and hair application for a leading hair care distributor which progressed to the position of International Education Director for Salon Research and Development, traveling world-wide to train the trainers who would in turn, train hairdressers.

The last ten years has seen Chris happily charming her clients at her studio in Rio Del Mar. When an unexpected offer came from Carmel, Chris’s design energy bubbled to the surface and soon the doors were opening to Carmel’s totally unique hair design studio and makeover spa experience.
