Ms. Christy Lopez is a highly regarded and super-talented hairstylist, makeup artist, and salon owner in the Washington, DC area.
Raised by her loving maternal grandparent, on a farm in the small town of Gambrills, MD, Christy's life reflects two of her primary early childhood influences, beauty and nature. Her grandmother, Mrs. Mamie Turner, would style hair at home, creating enviable hairstyles for local women and family members. This sparked an incurable interest in the world of beauty. Her grandfather, Mr. John Turner, would garden, harvesting every fruit and vegetable in its due season, as well as canning, preserving, hunting, and raising pigs and chickens. This is where her love of nature began.
Christy has worked at every level in the beauty industry, from her first job of being a shampoo-girl to salon ownership. She has maintained a steady and racially diverse clientele throughout the years and is a master in every aspect of hairstyling.
There's nothing she can't do. Clients come from near and far to have their hair styled; a few have even boarded planes or driven for hours to sit in her chair!
Her expertise and professionalism have led to many notable editorial experiences in the media, styling hair and doing makeup for many outlets and entities. The highlight of her career was working in the hair and makeup department for CNN in the political bureau in Washington, DC. There, she was trusted to style world-renowned and globally recognized news anchors, journalists, politicians, and celebrities. This was an awesome experience for Christy, who once dreamed of going to college to become a broadcast journalist, a dream long deferred.
As a salon coach, she has taught other stylists techniques to expand their skillset and owners to build their businesses and avoid the pitfalls of entrepreneurship.
After many years spent as a dedicated mom raising her son into adulthood, working diligently in the local church, and being a dutiful friend and encourager to others, Christy is now in a season of rediscovery of her own God-given gifts, talents, and dreams. She has found excitement and purpose in pursuing them unapologetically, come what may!
She enjoys spending quality time with her son, through their traditions of playing jeopardy, super-competitive games of scrabble, and watching movies. Other hobbies include cooking, trying new foods, and swimming.
