Hair by Chrissy’s Chrissy Rasmussen rose to online fame before viral TikTok drama took the app by storm.
The hairstylist — who has more than 27 years of experience — owns Habit Salon, which has locations in Arizona and California, and has been a destination for influencers and celebrities alike.
Rasmussen made headlines in November when a content creator known as @NotFamous808 alleged she had a negative experience at the salon, claiming, in part, that she was charged more than $4,000 for her hair, which the hairstylist barely touched. The video, which has amassed more than 28 million views, has sparked criticism from social media users who think the price is too high — especially when Rasmussen wasn’t totally present.
While Rasmussen has yet to address the drama directly, she seemingly responded with a series of videos via her TikTok Story, sharing a clip of herself working on extensions before walking away and having an employee finish. “Chrissy doing hair,” the clip was captioned. Us Weekly reached out to Rasmussen for comment.

Who Is Hair by Chrissy’s Chrissy Rasmussen?
Rasmussen has been in the business for nearly three decades. While reflecting on her career path, Rasmussen explained in an Iles Formula Q&A that she had thought about pursuing the hair industry — and the idea was solidified by her friend.
“One day my friend called me and said she was signing up for hair school, so I thought to myself … ‘why not.’ So to be honest I fell into it by chance,” she said. “Quickly after graduating from school, I found that there is so much satisfaction in working with people and helping people become more confident.”
She continued, “I would not say this is easy, but it is well worth it. I have been told and I love the analogy that hair dressing is a 4 year degree. Meaning, you are in school for 2 years, 3rd year you are assisting and working long hours but learning a lot. Then your 4th year, often stylists get on the floor, but it is still a year of learning. Then it is truly starting that 5th year after your 4 year degree where you feel comfortable and start to build a clientele. In my case, I assisted for 3 years, but that was more common 20 years ago.”

Habit Salon also provides lessons for aspiring hair stylists, where they can learn the “habit extension method” and more.
“While being in the hair industry for over 20 years we have learned what works for us and what hasn’t. Our belief here at Habit when it comes to any type of knowledge we obtain is sharing,” the website reads. “We don’t believe we do it the right way, we believe how we do things works and if it works for us it could work for you. So our education is completely designed around sharing what works rather than lecturing or teaching in a traditional way.”
