About Christo Fifth Avenue
Curly Hair Salon NYCStarting at the Roots Stylish Beginnings
Like quality hair care, our success story starts at the roots.
In 1981 founder Christo Curlisto started his hairstyling career as an apprentice at his family’s salon in Greece – a land full of luscious curls and opportunity.
He mastered his craft and eventually took his practice around the world to serve a widely diverse clientele. The anointed “King of Curls”, he was passionate about educating stylists and clients everywhere about proper curly hair care.
Finally, in 2002, Christo Fifth Avenue was born. In the heart of NYC, Christo and his team have been adding glam to curly heads of all kinds – from his loyal regulars to A-list celebrities. Essentially becoming the best Curly Hair Salon in NYC.
Our Philosophy Defining Every Curl
The passion at Christo Fifth Avenue salon stems from our dedication to treating, nourishing, and styling curly hair the right way.
That’s why not only do we offer top-quality products and cuts, but also provide education about curly hair care to stylists and clients alike.
We believe that your curls can be sleek, bouncy, and vibrant – not to be dulled by techniques that dry out your locks, turn up the frizz, or take the life out of your hair.
Our Process Sleek Meets Technique
We start with the most nourishing products to keep your hair as healthy as possible. We then cut and style your curls to the look you want using our exclusive Christo Diametrix technique.
The result is hair that can be sculpted and shaped to maximize your hair’s unique texture and personality.
Our Products Curlisto for Curly Hair Care
From brushes to conditioners to fortifying formulas, we offer everything you need for a vibrant head of hair.
Choose from our wide selection of both in-salon and in-home treatments.

Praise from Our NYC Clients
“Christo gave me the best haircut of my life– but the visit was so much more than a great hair cut… I left that salon feeling so confident and my hair hadn’t looked so good in over 10 years. They also gave me tons of Christo samples and not once did he push any products on me. Needless to say, if you can’t guess from this review, I’ll never use anything but Christo products again.” – Rebecca R.
“Christo gave me a trendy and beautiful cut. I also had the new in-house CBD treatment, which nourishes the scalp and strengthens hair and leaves your hair feeling healthy and refreshed. My hair is super healthy and has never looked better! Christo took the time to go over the treatment with me and explained all of the benefits. I’m super happy with how my curls look and am looking forward to my next trip to Curlisto!” – Alexa N.
