Not to be totally sexist, but for most of my life I've gone with male stylists. I don't know why is they just seem more attentive to the job, and I feel like they focus more on perfecting whatever look I request. And i'm a difficult customer. Having had to move from orange county, to LA, to Vegas, to Phoenix, I've had a tough time finding a permanent hair stylist. But I have!
Ladies I highly recommend going to see Chad, although he schedules his own appointments, the girls at the front desk will gladly give his number. I almost always get the same cut, and usually with a new stylist I have to see them 5 different times until they finally get my color and cut right and THEN I have to say "ok THIS is what I meant 4 months ago"
With Chad, he patiently listened to all of my hair ramblings, didn't interrupt once to say "ok i get it i get it" or anything. I explained that I wanted full but subtle bangs, long layers but a blunt cut, but that I wanted as long hair as possible, and that I wanted light hair with thinly woven highlights without looking like a TJ hooker. He definitely understood me and got my hair perfect from the first time. Now everytime I see him I just say "the usual". Sometimes I'll say, a little more highlights, or sometimes, a little less bang, and every time I'm totally satisfied!
If you're young and stylish and want a complementary cut and color, but don't wanna the mullet look, or the "rachel", I highly recommend you ask for Chad
