I went to the spa because I bid on and won a gift certificate at a silent auction with Gaston Andres. I showed him a photo of the haircut I normally get. He looked at it and showed me a picture on the wall of a cut he said would like much nicer, but I'd have to understand the cut may be a bit more "severe" than I'm used to. I told him to go for it. I love my new style. I get compliments on it all the time. And I can actually make it look similar to how he styled it, which is a surprise for me. His tips on using the blow dryer was the first time I've heard them from a hairdresser. He is 35 miles from my house, but I would definitely return.
