I am one of the least adventurous people I know when it comes to my hair. I only get it cut every 18 months or so, and I have never had any color work beyond some highlights 6 or 7 years ago. All that changed when my midlife crisis hit...I decided to go for something really fun. Julia did a fantastic job on my oil slick effect! Not only were the cut and color beautifully executed, but she was super understanding that my 7 month old daughter was there with me. The pricing was great, too! I've gotten my adventure out of my system for now, but you can bet that I'll be returning to Julia-- I won't even wait another 18 months!
