Cristina is the founder and owner of Vela Lash & Beauty — a luxury beauty studio built on excellence, authenticity, and genuine connection. As a Licensed Esthetician, award-winning Master Lash Artist, brow specialist, and educator, she has spent over 10 years serving the Fayetteville community with high-quality lash, brow, and waxing services designed to help every client feel confident, refreshed, and cared for.
Beyond the beauty industry, Cristina is a proud mom of three whose passion for people is at the heart of everything she does. Known for her attention to detail, commitment to lash health, and peaceful salon experience, she believes beauty should feel both elevated and personal — never rushed or one-size-fits-all.

Cristina’s love for learning, growing, and teaching has helped shape Vela Lash & Beauty into more than just a salon; it’s a space where clients can relax, feel seen, and leave feeling their absolute best. Whether you’re visiting for your very first set of lashes or you’ve been part of the Vela family for years, her goal is always the same: to provide an experience rooted in quality, integrity, and care.

“Serving this community has truly been an honor, and I’m so grateful for every client who walks through our doors. We can’t wait to welcome you in.” 💜

Amber is originally from New York and has recently relocated to North Carolina. Her journey in esthetics began with a passion for makeup, but she developed a deep appreciation for the artistry and detail involved in lash extensions. She finds the industry to be constantly evolving, which inspires her to continually learn and refine her skills. Above all, she values the connections she builds with each client. Her goal is to create a safe and welcoming space amidst the chaos of everyday life, helping her clients leave feeling confident and beautiful. She looks forward to meeting new clients.
