I went to Bellissimo yesterday for my second visit. My first visit was ok. The haircut was fine, but the color was not what I was looking for. I had wanted a haircut with layers and lowlights a shade or two darker than my original brown hair color, but what I got was a good trim (without layers) and red highlights. I did not really like the color, but I was too busy to go back the following week, and after a week they faded anyway.
Yesterday I saw Marianna because my first stylist is no longer employed at the salon. This time I was more prepared. I brought pictures of the layers I wanted. She barely even glanced at the pictures and knew exactly what I wanted. She brought out samples of colors and showed me what I got before and then showed me some samples which would look better on me.
Everything looked so amazing! I have super thick and heavy hair. The layers took off a lot of weight from my hair, even though my length is still at my lower back. The color was beautiful, and it got rid of the red (which turned a little brassy) from earlier this spring.
So glad I went back for a second try. So glad that I got Marianna the second time around. I am looking forward to returning to the salon with my two teenage daughters. I think we finally found a place after bouncing around from salon to salon.
