For the past year, I have been coming to Natalie (Susie's assistant) for cuts and color/root touch-ups. I used to color my hair red at home, but I would get so frustrated because it would fade within two weeks! Eventually I decided to get it professional done at a salon, and I have continued to do so ever since.
Natalie does an excellent job every time... and I don't trust many people with my hair! She never cuts off more hair than I ask for, she makes my red color look beautifully radiant, and she is respectful and kind but also doesn't talk your ear off. It's a relaxing experience every time. (And she'll get you free coffee, water, or lemonade if you ask!) I highly recommend her.
I didn't think getting my hair professionally done would be worth the money, but it definitely is!
