CHRISTIAN SALAZAR   Christian has worked IN NYC for the past 10 years.  He approaches hair with the sensibility of an artist and looks at it as part of a bigger painting.  His original training was at the Aveda NY salon where he was a cutting/coloring educator.  Several years ago he moved from the salon into the world of fashion.  He can be seen each season backstage during New York fashion week helping to enhance the vision of many leading fashion designers.  His clients include Badgley MIschka, Peter Sorn and Betsey Johnson to name just a few.  But whether on the runway or in the salon, Christian's commitment to excellence in hairstyling is complete.

JOE MURRAY   Joe started styling as a way to pay for his fine arts studies in college.  His background in art led to a unique approach to hair.  Photographers and designers noticed his singular creativity early on and he was enlisted to work on many advertising and editorial photo shoots.  During that time he also created many looks for the fashion runways of New York.   But Joe, in taking a holistic look at his own life, realized that he felt more fulfilled in the salon.

Early in his career, Joe discovered he had a chemical sensitivity.  During that time, he worked for many traditional salons but could not deny that his reactions were worsening.   As a result, he searched for a cleaner working environment.  That search led him to join the staff at the John Masters Organic Salon.
​
When Masters' Salon closed, Joe sought to expand the concept of a clean-air environment on his own.  With that in mind, Joe built Hale, where the motto is "As Chemically Free as We Can Be."  Joe believes that there are enough environmental stresses in the world already.  He is committed to helping his clients find a cleaner alternative for keeping their hair beautiful.
