ARTICLE IN LAWRENCEVILLE HAPPENINGS
JUNE 2011:
Salon Christine becomes the first and only green Aveda Concept Salon in Lawrenceville. The artsy and bohemian salon sitting fashionably on the corner of Hatfield and 49th Street is a direct reflection of owner Christine Goodis' extensive experience in the art and fashion worlds.
Spending many years studying at London sassoons, and working her way to a nomination as "Master Stylist" of Pittsburgh and a presidency of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Art and Fashion group, Goodis was ready to open her third salon. Since April of 2011, doors have been opened to both new and loyal clientele, many of whom have been around for 25 years.
Salon Christine is staffed with master colourists, using every sort of colour from basic touchups to balayage and dimensional glossing sheens, starting at $67. Customized haircuts are styled to the needs of each person, and like any spa of its caliber, waxing, threading, and nails are also available. Salon Christine also offers elaborate "experiences" where private parties can have the salon to themselves for five hours or have a photo session with a professional photographer. The salon is completely green, utilizing both plant and flower based color for all of its clients.
Goodis loves her new location, stating a supportive, growing neighborhood with a unique artistic flair as qualities that brought her to Lawrenceville.
"I wanted to walk and or ride my bicycle to work", says Goodis.
In addition to moving her business to the area, Goodis is also a new resident who is relishing her new spot. When asked what she thinks of the area, only one word would do.
"Fabulous", she says.
Salon Christine is located at 4900 Hatfield Street and is open Tuesday and Wednesday, 11:00am - 8:00pm, Thursday 12:00pm - 9:00pm, Friday 11:00am - 7:00pm. and Saturday 10:00am - 4:00 pm. Find out more at www.salonchristine.com
JUNE AT SALON CHRISTINE
I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE THAT THE NEW SALON HAS BEEN OPEN FOR 2 MONTHS. WHAT A JOURNEY ITS BEEN.
I HAVE TO SAY THAT THIS MOVE, ALTHOUGH ON MANY LEVELS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT MOVE OF MY LIFE, IT WAS ALSO THE SMARTEST MOVE FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS.
AT THIS POINT, SALON CHRISTINE LOOKS JUST LIKE A LITTLE SOHO/GREENWICH VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD HIGH END EXCEPTIONAL BOUTIQUE, RIGHT IN THE HEART OF ALL THE NEW DEVELOPMENT IN LAWRENCEVILLE.
THE FRONT HAS BEEN GORGEOUSLY
DESIGNED WITH SANTA FE NEW MEXICO POTS AND FLOWERS, DONE BY IRISAURUS LANDSCAPING. MIKE CORLE IS A DEAR FRIEND OF MINE AND OWNS THIS FANTASTIC LANDSCAPING COMPANY. HE IS ALSO ONE OF THE MANY LOCAL TALENTS I SUPPORT IN PITTSBURGH.
THE SALON IS SLOWLY GROWING IN TO A SMALL AVEDA CONCEPT SALON ART BOUTIQUE. LAWRENCEVILLE NEWSPAPER IS FEATURING US THIS MONTH...THANK YOU LAWRENCEVILLE UNITED AND LAWRENCEVILLE CORP, AS WELL AS ALL THE LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS, EMPLOYEES AND RESIDENTS, FOR HAVING US AND SUPPORTING US!
A MERE 3 MILES FROM DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH, LAWRENCEVILLE IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND AMAZINGLY FUN WORLD TO LIVE AND WORK IN. THERE ARE NEW BUSINESS'S OPENING LITERALLY OVERNIGHT. LOTS OF SWEET CAFÉS AND RESTAURANTS TO SOCIALIZE OUTSIDE AT.
A FEW OF MY MOST FAVORITE PLACES TO EAT AND DRINK AT IN LAWRENCEVILLE ARE...
PITTSBURGH TRAVELS
EVERYONE AND ANYONE THAT LIVES IN PITTSBURGH KNOWS THE WOES OF PARKING. I HAD TWO SALONS DOWNTOWN FOR THE PAST 16 YEARS AND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE PARKING FEES, THE RAISE IN THE PARKING LOTS, THE BLOCKED AND ONE WAY STREETS AND OR THE LACK OF AN OPEN PARKING GARAGE OR LOT.
PARKING IN FRONT OF THE NEW SALON CHRISTINE IS A TOTAL FREE BREEZE, BUT THERE ARE OTHER DRIVING ISSUES...
OTHER THAN BUTLER STREET BETWEEN 38TH AND 41ST STREET, THERE ARE OTHER ALTERNATE ROUTES TO ARRIVE ON TIME FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT AT SALON CHRISTINE.
ONE AREA THAT ONE MUST ACCOUNT FOR, REGARDING A TIME ISSUE IS THAT
RT 28 IS FOREVER UNDER SURGERY. PLEASE ALLOW FOR PLENTY OF TIME BETWEEN 3 pm AND 6 pm ESPECIALLY!
EVERYONE'S TIME IS ABSOLUTELY VALUABLE AND WE TAKE EXTREME CARE IN OUR PUNCTUALITY. EVERY GUEST DESERVES A FAIR AMOUNT OF TIME WITH THEIR PRE-SCHEDULED AND CONFIRMED SERVICE.
IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE, KINDLY CALL US AND LET US KNOW. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO STILL FIT YOU IN, BUT IT'S NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. WE WANT TO BE FAIR TO THE NEXT GUEST AND ALL THE GUESTS FOLLOWING. IF YOU ARE RUNNING LATE, WE WILL DO OUR VERY BEST TO RESCHEDULE YOU AT A TIME THAT WORKS ON ANOTHER DAY.
SALON CHRISTINE HAS A LOVELY REPUTATION OF CREATING BEAUTIFUL HAIR AND PEACEFUL ATMOSPHERE, AS WELL AS RUNNING ON TIME FOR 10 HOURS PER DAY, EVERY DAY. PLEASE HELP US TO CONTINUE THAT STANDARD, AND PLEASE BE A PART OF OUR LOVELY SERVICES AND ENVIRONMENT. ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE IS VERY MUCH CARED FOR DURING THEIR TIME SPENT WITH US.
AVEDA PRODUCTS
AVEDA HAS REALLY AWESOME SPARKLING GLOSSERS THAT ARE PERFECT FOR SUMMER SUN HAIR. THIS PRODUCT TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO GLOSS OVER YOUR NATURAL HAIR OR HIGHLIGHTED HAIR OR TONED HAIR. ITS SHEER, SO IT GIVES A SPARKLE OF TONE WITH A VARIETY OF COMPLIMENTARY SHINE AND TONES TO YOUR MONTHLY TOUCH UPS. ITS SUPER LIGHT AND LASTS FOR ONE SEASON. THIS PRODUCT HELPS TO GIVE A BIT OF TONE TO SUN KISSED HAIR. IF THIS INTERESTS YOU, LET US KNOW WHEN YOU PRESCHEDULE SO THAT WE CAN ALLOW FOR THE RIGHT TIME INVOLVED TO CONSULT AND GLOSS YOU.
I LOVE THE FOLLOWING THREE PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY ARE MADE OF AND HOW EVERYONES HAIR ABSOLUTELY RESPONDS TO THEM.
ENJOY!

- Organic tapioca defends against humidity for up to 12 hours
- Hydrolized wheat protein protects against surface damage from heat styling
Made with Aloe + Tapioca
CHRISTINE UNPLUGGED
MY HERB GARDEN IS FLOURISHING WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF BASIL, PARSLEY, TOMATOES, SAGE, CILANTRO AND THYME. MANY TIMES I DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO COOK WITH ALL THESE LUSCIOUS SMELLS, SO I CUT THEM INTO SMALL LITTLE SWEET BUNDLES, TIE A RIBBON AROUND THEM, PUT THEM IN RECYCLED AVEDA CANDLE JARS AND SET THEM AROUND MY HOME. THE SMELL IS HEAVENLY WHEN THE SUN SETS.
WE ARE HAVING OUR DOORS MEASURED SO THAT WE CAN HAVE CONSTRUCTION JUNCTION SCREEN DOORS OPENING UP TO SIDEWALK LEMONADE AND SUN BREWED TEA SITTINGS, DURING, BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR HAIR APPOINTMENT. THESE DOORS WILL BE OPEN AT NIGHT ONLY, WHEN THE AIR IS COOLER AND THE BREEZE IS WELCOMED. SOON WE WILL HAVE LOCAL MUSICIANS TO PLAY DURING THE EVENINGS. IF YOU KNOW ANYONE THAT IS INTERESTED IN SMALL EASY GOING PERFORMANCES, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
A SWEET NEW ARTIST FROM RUSSIA IS NOW SHOWING HER RUSTIC ART JEWELRY FOR SALE AT SALON CHRISTINE. HER PIECES ARE ONE OF A KIND AND ARE BECOMING QUITE POPULAR.
WE'VE GOT SOME SURPRISES COMING UP SOON...SO PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH US, ENJOY US AS WE ENJOY YOU, AND ALWAYS COUNT ON US FOR ROCKIN HAIR.
ENJOY JUNE!
METTA,
CHRISTINE

I TEAMED UP WITH LONG TIME FRIENDS http;//thurnerphotography.com/ AND http;//www.pattybellmakeup.com/ FOR THE PHOTO WORK AND MAKEUP DESIGN.
THE RESULTS....?
MORE
THAN
FANTASTIC.
TAKE NOTICE, THIS IS ALL THE SAME FABULOUS MODEL. HER MAKEUP, HAIR AND WARDROBE CHANGED OVER A 13 HOUR PHOTO SHOOT. THE CLOTHES ARE FROM MY LONG TIME FRIENDS, MICHELLE AND MARTA THAT OWN MAXALTO IN SHADYSIDE.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING YOUR OWN PHOTO SHOOT DONE OF YOURSELF, LET ME KNOW. AFTER ALL...THERE ISN'T A WOMAN I KNOW, THAT ISN'T BEAUTIFUL FROM THE INSIDE OUT. A GOOD HAIRDRESSER, MAKEUP ARTIST AND PHOTOGRAPHER CAN CREATE SO VERY MUCH, FOR EVERYONE.
ENJOY!
BRAVO, Christina!!! All the way around! The work you and Team Bell/Thurner did was FABULOUS! Keep up the great artistry! xoxo, Joanne

Connected and yet removed. the perfect heels and the perfect naked feet, all at the same time.
Well i did, tonight.
Thank you Bonnie Siefers,http://www.jonano.com/news-events/june-22-2009-ten-minutes-with-jonano-designer-bonnie-siefers.html for all of your joy and utterly forward moving art design and how you apply it in the most organic way, to life.Your passion for and with art and design eludes from you , but mostly what you brought to my world tonight.was an exchange of elevated raw brilliance...............so rare, and ever so appreciated.
So i sat in my car and it was perfect. The storm... the lightening scratching in the blackened sky, the downpour of rain....and i watched you slowly take charge of every single step while disappearing into the dark. I drove away knowing that you, my friend, are more than unique and ever so powerful in your silence and observation, expression of art and connection of mind/body/soul.
what majick you are.
i left enlightened. i hope you did too.
thank you.
On my level of hairdressing, i experience a minimum of 30 different human conversations per day. This includes guests that i consult with and create with, employee conversations, phone calls to negotiate with, emails to correspond with.
Some people leave tremendous marks of enlightenment in our lives.
Today was one of them.
I am grateful.
What a gift.....
METTA!
CHRISTINE
PS...Please enjoy this photo. It was almost the "mistake" of the photo shoot. It was actually shot in my loft bathroom when i lived downtown. I personally , am absolutely crazy about this. Its a plethora of burlesque meets sin city meets avant guard meets 1920 betty boop meets absolute raw elegance.
