| - Kim is the best! I continued my quest for a hair stylist and ended up here after yelp reviews and recommendations from friends. I started with a simple blow out and consultation regarding the hot mess which was my hair courtesy of Stonewater Salon. She gave the best shampoo massage I have had and blew out my curly hair perfectly in no time [took 2 hours with the color consultation]. Plus my hair had body and wasn't too flat at the end. My blow out only set me back $30 as well - awesome!
I made an appt for a relaxer the following month. Her recommendation was for the keratin treatment instead of a relaxer to prevent further damage than what was caused by the previous color job. It only took her 2 hours and 15 min to do the ENTIRE process and it was beautiful. I can still walk out on a rainy day without any frizz or change in my styling over one month later and I cannot believe it. My blow drying time has been cut in half and this is from a skeptic. It did cost much more than the relaxer price I was expecting, but I will probably only need to do it every 4 months or so.
The next month, I scheduled for a cut to get my layers redefined. Again, Kim was quick and efficient. I told her I wanted to keep my length and she respected this and somehow cut my layers to make my hair appear even longer! This time my appt was only a little over an hour since my blow drying time was much faster.
Since she did so well, I decided not to wait another whole month for her to fix my color. She had earned her stripes though and I finally felt safe going under the chemical processing with Kim at the helm the following week. I am proud to say I no longer have the tiger stripe just natural highlights as I wanted from the beginning. However, I will still need to return as I wanted more of an ombre which I cannot appreciate right now as well as a more neutral brown than auburn. Price was a little steep for not being 100% satisfied but doable.
Now I am super excited that I have found a hair stylist that can do it all - blow out, cut, color, and straightener!! Kim, you better not retire girl!
- Only one star off for the somewhat steep (but not outrageous) for the keratin treatment, cut, and color when compared to other salons
