| - I've only been coming here for 8 months or so, which equates to getting my hair done a whopping two times. But it's no surprise I'll be coming back a third time... And a fourth... And a fifth... And you get the idea.
First a little about my hair: I'm a white girl, but I have near-ethnic hair. It's curly (think kinky, crazy curls with minds of their own), REALLY thick, coarse, dry, and frizzy. And it's gone through some rough times over the years. It's been bleached, broken off, died black, broken off more, and Brazilian blown. So let's just say I'm VERY particular about my stylist.
I came across Salon D'Shayn on Yelp because it's the highest rated salon in my area. I read literally every single review - good and bad - and decided I'd give it a try. Next step was picking a stylist. I read every bio on their website, and then I found Jude.
Apparently Jude happens to do some guys' hair that I work with, and normally this would dissuade me because I need someone who can do challenging. But after reading up on her experience (umm, over 20 years doing color? Dayum!) I knew she would be a safe bet.
And both times I've gone to Jude she's done EXACTLY what I've asked for. Literally. I show her a picture, then 2 hours later I'm looking at that picture live on my head. She's never shoved products down my throat to buy, never tried to up sell me, and has pretty darn competitive prices!
To top it off, she actually suggested I switch my shampoo to a brand the salon doesn't even carry, simply because she knew it would be best for my hair. Now I'm an avid Ouidad user (curly hair ladies - you must research this stuff, it will change your life) and my hair has never looked or felt better.
Saying she's 5 stars is an understatement. Jude is hands down the best stylist I've ever had!
