My daughter is 9 and is EXTREMELY picky about her hair! I can't stress how picky... she's an athlete so she doesn't want it to short, but likes it "trendy", whatever that is for her age. She finally got a cut and a style is has been wanting for what she calls AGES! WILL ONLY GO BACK TO LYNETTE'S PLACE AS SHE SAYS! Ashlie did a great job and was so nice.
