I have hair that's fine and it got thinner around the bangs area as I got older (58 now). I generally hate hair salons and avoid going. I get way too much product (supposedly for volume) and a style that's not me whether I bring a photo or not. I usually go home, immediately wash the gunk out of my hair and try to style it my way. Out of sheer desperation with hair way too long I thought I'd check out the yelp reviews for local salons. I picked Karma for the reviews (the bonus is it's 5 minutes away). I asked for Julie based on her reviews, although most of the reviews are great. I brought a photo of a layered cut and got exactly what I hoped for. She cut it wet and dry to get the layers just right. There wasn't excessive product in my hair, it's a cut I love and didn't touch till my next shower - that's a miracle in my book. I've done multiple things with it and it's super easy to manage. I didn't mention I got all this at a reasonable price. I highly recommend them and will be back for color and highlights
