Behind the chair, Crystal is detail oriented, artistic and intentional. Your comfort is her priority and that includes an add on service of Reiki or simply not talking if you prefer. She specializes in straight razor and combined tool haircuts to achieve the right amount of movement, volume, bulk removal, added texture and natural curl enhancement. Pixies, mullets, shags, bobs, curls, pretty hair, weird hair- she loves it all. As for color, sun kissed balayage, rich brunettes, juicy reds and grey blending with O+M Organic hair color are her strengths. You are her inspiration and her goal is that your look suits your hair type, lifestyle and how you want to feel.

In real life she loves fashion, films, dancing, personal transformation, vintage treasure hunting, neighborhood cat stalking and quality time with friends.

 

Daniela Zarevich
Hairstylist, Vacation Club MINI
♡ IG @damngerine

With more than a decade of styling experience, Daniela specializes in curly or textured hair, razor cutting, dimensional blonding and balayage, and lived-in takes on rainbow color.

Prioritizing easy styling, natural texture and statement color, Daniela creates effortless, low maintenance styles for a bold but easy, distinctly West Coast aesthetic. Whether she is dry cutting curls or razoring wavy or straight hair, her technique focuses on removing weight to bring out texture, body and movement. A smoky pink razor bob with little bangs, a slept-in shag in a 70s-golden blond, tousled long platinum waves with seamless layers, or a tear drop shaped lob with curly bangs and sun-touched balayage - hair for lazy days, basement shows, thrifting in rainy weather and time in the art studio.

Daniela is a gardener, crafter, and artist who spends most of her time bossing around plants and being bossed around in return by her dog, and her dog’s cat who thinks that he’s a dog. She loves talking fantasy novels, plants of all kinds, gaming, and music.

Her chair is body positive and gender affirming.
