Meet the Team Behind the Magic at The British Hair Company

With a career spanning over four decades and multiple continents — Essex, London, San Francisco, Miami, the Caribbean, and now Laguna Beach — Tracy brings world-class expertise to every cut she crafts.

She began her journey as an apprentice in Essex, quickly rising through the ranks to run Topshop’s flagship salon on Oxford Circus. From there, she styled on Carnival Cruises before becoming the founding force behind The British Hair Company, where she’s spent the past 20 years setting the gold standard in precision hair cutting.

Known across the industry for her technical mastery, Tracy specializes in sharp pixie cuts, structured short layers, and modern bobs that move with natural ease. Her philosophy? Hair should be wearable, flattering, and tailored to each client’s lifestyle — and every shape should hold up beautifully between visits.

Style-wise, Tracy is a mix of boho chic, British cheek, and brilliantly bold — always honest, always direct, and always about great hair.

Can’t-live-without product: Aveda’s Invati Advanced Scalp Serum — her go-to for thicker, fuller, healthier hair.
Can’t stand: Heights.
Current obsessions: Short layers on bob shapes… although a crisp, clean pixie still reigns supreme.
Hair mantra: “The right tools and products make everything easier.

Chris is a true Laguna Beach local, with roots in the city that stretch back generations.

Born at what was then South Coast Community Hospital, Chris grew up surrounded by creativity. His grandparents owned commercial property on Laguna Canyon Road that they leased to celebrated local artist Wyland, while his father—first and foremost a makeup artist, as well as a hairdresser—owned a salon just two blocks from the legendary Tower Records on Sunset Boulevard.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Chris became a second-generation makeup artist and hairdresser. Over more than 40 years, his career has moved fluidly between the salon floor, fashion, television, film and live entertainment.

Alongside working at respected Southern California salons including Allen Edwards in Newport Beach, Carlton International in Irvine, Studio 50-50 in Huntington Beach, José Eber at South Coast Plaza and Kelly & Brandon in Hermosa Beach, Chris built an award-winning career as a makeup artist and hairstylist.

His work has appeared in editorial and print for publications including Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Details, as well as fashion shows in Los Angeles and Milan. At Disney, Chris worked in the hair and makeup department creating and maintaining wigs and applying prosthetics and character makeup for the theme park and stage productions.

An Emmy Award-winning makeup artist, Guild Award winner and IATSE Local 706 Journeyman, his screen credits include Abbott Elementary, Euphoria, Fallout, Star Trek: Picard, S.W.A.T., Criminal Minds, CSI: NY, The Bold and the Beautiful, Barbie, Nope and Promising Young Woman.

Behind that extraordinary résumé is a laid-back Southern California stylist who is happiest behind the chair, creating great hair and seeing the excitement on a guest’s face when the finished result is revealed.

Chris specializes in blonding, women’s haircuts, Hollywood Red Carpet Blowouts and men’s grooming. His experience in high-definition television, fashion and editorial has given him an exceptional eye for shape, balance, movement and polished finishing.

For Chris, every successful appointment begins with communication. By listening carefully and communicating clearly, he builds the trust needed to create a look that feels personal, flattering and manageable long after a guest leaves the salon.

His own style is best described as that of a laid-back Southern California surfer: creative, artistic and relaxed, with a lifelong love of sport and the outdoors.

Fun, creative and polite are the three words Chris believes his clients would use to describe him—and they perfectly capture the experience guests can expect in his chair.

After a career that has taken him from Laguna Beach to Hollywood and back again, Chris is bringing more than four decades of experience home to The British Hair Company.
