I highly recommend Long, I came in with black hair and left with blonde hair like I wanted. It only takes him one session to transform your hair it'll be 7 hrs but it's totally worth it!! Long used the best products and he and his wife is amazing with customer care! I only trust him with my hair, if you plan on going lighter with black hair he's the one to go to! The devil works hard but Long works harder and he have such a positive vibes! I will be coming back in a few months and going lighter!!!
