My husband and I have been following Judith (Jude) for some time now, this location being the 3rd where we are her customers. And since this is in Tempe and we live in NW Peoria, it shows how much we admire her and love her work.
My husband now sports a beard and she does a great job making sure it is groomed to perfection...he enjoys all the comments he receives on how nice it is kept. Jude also does his hair too. We have started to book back-to-back appts so that we maximize our travel time.
Even with a trim of my short hair, Jude does a thorough chat with me about what I want. She is one of the few stylists I know that understands that a short female cut needs to look feminine and not something a guy would have. So even though I have fewer options with the style I choose, it is still stylish and flattering. When I had longer hair and messed around with perms and more demanding cuts, she always gave me the time needed for the job.
We hated losing her in the west valley but our loss is Tempe's gain.
