Yesterday I had my first appointment with Eric, after stumbling across him on this site. He spent about 45 minutes consulting with me on what I'm wanting long term, what we have to do to accomplish this, and in general managing expectations. After fixing a few areas that needed immediate attention, he called it a "bang trim" and scheduled my next appointment for 4 weeks out, with no charge for this appointment. I cannot say enough about his manner and professionalism, and look forward to a long stylist/client relationship!
If you're looking for someone who truly knows their craft, give him a call.
