I have lived in L.A. for 11 years and have yet to find a good hairstylist (that is also affordable). My brother got married in 2007 and the girls went to get their hair done at Curl Up N Dye. Since then, I make sure to stop by every time I'm in Vegas if I have a chance.
My most recent visit was this past Saturday and I sat with Amanda. I gave her a very vague description of what I wanted and, when I left the salon, I felt like a whole new woman! She even stopped part way through to ask me if she had done what I wanted and made the adjustments I asked for. I got more than six inches cut off and she actually listened to me when I told her that I don't like to do ANYTHING with my hair - she gave me a cut perfect for wash n wear! My Mom sat with Jennifer and she also did an amazing job - even catching an issue AFTER my Mom was out of the chair and bringing her back for a touch up.
The girls at the salon are great and friendly and not pretentious at all. It's a great time every time I go.
Letty is our usual girl - and she has also done really great things with my hair.
