I picked Cheryl as my stylist because her bio mentioned the magic word: CURLY.
We discussed what I wanted and she offered suggestions/recommendations when I asked for them. She then blew dry and styled my hair showing me how to do it myself. It was very practical and easy to do. I like my new haircut but I would have appreciated some shorter top layers as I emphasized in our earlier discussion.
With the student discount, it cost me $68 (including tax).
Afterwards I spoke with a colour technician, Janice. She also offered great suggestions and tips and tricks on picking a colour. She was very honest about what would be too pricy vs. more economic ways. She helped me partially settle on a colour and I will have to do my homework on what pattern I want from all those she described. I will be coming back with a final decision.
