I had always been self conscious about my hair bc it's been thinning and balding due to losing hair over the years. Every stylist I've tried always had a troubled look on them bc there's not much to work with. I had always asked them for their professional advice on what to do with it. They've only shared as to how to cover the issue. I'm not even 30 yet and its noticeably balding so I usually keep my hair clipped to cover the area as suggested (which doesn't help the problem) I made peace with my hair's destiny. I was referred by a friend to see Ivan. Since I'd made peace with there's nothing that I can do with my hair, I didn't ask if there's anything to be done. Before cutting, Ivan took the time to look at my hair and was able to consult with me reasons to why my hair had thinned and how to get it healthier, naturally by a few new habits base on his expertise. He studied in Europe where he was trained by looking at hair follicles under microscopes to study the physiology of hair. Ivan was clearly passionate about his work. He was my best cut and stylist. I waited to write this review to see the results of my hair condition. My hair hasn't fallen out as much and it's actually thickening up. Plus, my cut was 5 months ago and I still get compliments! I found myself a passionate stylist who I trust to care for my hair
