Knowing that my wife had been struggling to find a decent stylists in our tiny town, I had no problems or second thoughts on getting her a booking. So mu h in fact, she has booked her next appointment…and I get to go visit my spirit city! Win-win!”

Her color correction and dying skills are top notch. Not only does it look good leaving, but the style and cut always grows out wonderfully too.”
