After a few updos and haircuts by Anastasia, I got my courage up and booked in with her to get my hair highlighted - keep in mind dye hasn't touched my hair in almost 8 years.
She was careful to be sure she knew exactly what I wanted my highlights to look like, and even made sure to find out how often I was willing to come back to have them maintained, since this factors in to how she would do them.
They turned out great! I have had lots of compliments and they look great.
