When trying to find a stylist who wasn't afraid to make some big changes with my hair. Previous places were hesitant to cut my length and started slow telling me to come back if I wanted to go shorter even when I told them to keep going! I brought a few different examples of what I had in mind for Gary to see and told him to have at it, this is his profession and he's the expert. He first cut my hair which was well past my shoulders making it shoulder length, automatically making a difference in look and feel. He then worked his magic with how he was going to color my hair. Brought my base to my natural darker tone and added chunky highlights using 2 different tones. When it was all done, it looked looked amazing!!! I knew that being from New York, Gary would have both the ability and confidence to do what I've asked other stylists to do but they just couldn't give me the confident assurance that they comprehended what I was actually wanting. Gary did just that and confirmed I had made the right decision to allow him to do what he knows best! I've received so many surprised looks with how short I had cut my hair, followed by it/the color is awesome. It's so much easier to maintain, I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you Gary, you're Amazing!!!
