| - To sum it up in one sentence, Filiberto at David Gerard Salon is the best!
After 20 years of long, straight hair down to my waist, I decided it was time for a change. Naturally, I was nervous about trusting someone with such a radical haircut. David Gerard Salon had great reviews here on Yelp, so I took a chance and called. I spoke to David, who put me at ease and was able to get me an appointment within 45 minutes.
I worked with Filiberto Torres Jr., who's got a host of qualifications, including 20+ years in the business and Paul Mitchell certification as a trainer. Through everything, he discussed what he was going to do and made sure I was okay with it, starting with confirming that I wanted such a radical change - and then donating the long ponytail he cut off to Locks of Love. He wasn't just technically skilled - he was patient, funny, engaging, and relaxing to work with. David also stopped by to check up on things and make sure I was happy with how things were going.
In the end, I went from waist-long straight hair with no real style and lots of grey to a pixie-cut with deep brown color and red highlights. Filiberto is a genius with hair! I can't recommend this salon highly enough, and I can't wait to go back in a couple of months.
