If you mean the WordPress Customizer: These changes are not saved to the style.css, but they come most likely to be found shortly before </head>. Probably you will find there something like
<style>
//definitions via Customizer
</style>

I have just three files in my child, rtl.css functions.php and style.css, and changes made in the appearance are just applied for my child, as when I activate the parent, I can see the changes are not there, which is correct for me...– sergioCommented May 5, 2015 at 15:59

they are saved in the database and get injected via php. no files get changed here. Commented May 5, 2015 at 16:03

understand, thanks, so there is a db specific for the child? so the style.css file is just used to make changes manually? thanks in advance (I am new in wordpress :) )– sergioCommented May 5, 2015 at 16:36

i see. no. basically the style.css is getting displayed. if you change settings in the WordPress Customizer (codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Customization_API), these changes are stored in the DB and outputted inline after the style.css. By this, they overwrite the style.css settings. Commented May 5, 2015 at 16:38
The theme changes in customizer are applied inline or before the </head> to your WordPress site.
Technically speaking there are three hooks: $wp_customize customize_register wp_head which are used by theme developers to include the changes directly to theme without using the default style.css
