A MAJOR "thank you" to the team at Kearns & Co Hair, particularly Rachel.
Everyone has their own love-hate relationship with their hair, right? Well, the hairdressers here acknowledge that and as soon as you come into the salon, they sit you down for a little one on one hair consultation before they get snipping. Rachel first asked me to tell her about my hair, then asked questions to fill in the blanks. She then proceeded to ask what I would like to get done with my hair. She is absolutely brilliant! After I told her everything, she explained how she would cut my hair to address some of my concerns while still achieving the look I wanted.
For example, I have a lot of hair and a bit of a wave. Since I don't like thinning it because I find it grows out weird, she layered it to coincide with the curl of my hair and thinned out only the bottom bits (without shearing scissors) to make the whole look lighter. Another concern for me is that I have a square-shaped face so I'm always nervous about hairstyles making my jaws seem more prominent than they already are. She knew it without me saying anything and did a lot of great detailing around the face area.
I got a wash, cut, and conditioning treatment done and was out in just over an hour.
Rachel was also a lot of fun to talk to. She's obviously an expert at what she does and pays close attention to clients' comments. I didn't get the chance to talk much to the other staff but they all seem just as kind and skillful. The salon is super clean and well located. I highly recommend Kearns & Co Hair :) Oh! You also get a nice big cup of complimentary of tea and biscuits.
