At the heart of Cris Beauty Salon is Risleyda “Cris” Taveras, a Dominican-born stylist with a passion for beauty that goes far beyond hair.

Raised between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, Cris discovered her love for hair care early on. After studying cosmetology and dedicating over 16 years to the beauty industry, she turned her dream into a reality by opening her own salon in Brickell, Miami.

Cris has trained in Miami, New York, Puerto Rico, and Germany, mastering advanced techniques in hair coloring, treatments, and nail care. But what truly sets her apart isn’t just her skill—it’s the experience she creates.

From the moment a client walks through the door, Cris wants them to feel like they’ve stepped into something more than just a beauty salon. Every detail—from the ambiance to the service—is intentionally crafted to offer a relaxing, peaceful escape from the outside world.

Her mission is to make every woman feel seen, pampered, and radiant—

not only on the outside, but also on the inside. Whether it’s through a perfectly blended balayage or a calming hair treatment, Cris believes beauty should be an experience—one that restores confidence and well-being.

Today, Cris Beauty Salon is recognized as one of the top beauty destinations in Brickell, thanks to its combination of world-class technique, warm energy, and soul-soothing atmosphere.

“When you feel beautiful, calm, and cared for… that’s real beauty.” – Cris
