Desiree is amazing. She fixed my hair after I used henna and color strippers and a bunch of other stuff I shouldn't have put in it. She is a trooper, our first session was around 7 hours straight of mainly working on fixing the color.
Desiree knows what she's doing and cares about the integrity of your hair. I believe she lifted my hair 2 or 3 times, only because it could take it, and it felt healthy and soft because of correct product usage. She also explains what is happening so you know what is going on and feel comfortable.
The other stylists in the salon also help out and give feedback so you're actually getting the expertise of multiple people instead of only one.
In conclusion, Desiree is a hair magician who is also affordable. I went in for a haircut today and it was $45 before tip compared to other places charging $60+. My triple process and cut was ~$200 before tip.
The photos I included are from before our first session to my cut today so you can see the drastic difference she had made in my hair life.
Also, never use box dye.
