I have very straight, flat, oily hair that had been killed with bleach a year (2?) ago and dyed it black so it could grow out. Needless to say I needed to chop off all the bad. I told Allison this, my desired length, and said "I trust you". She is the only person who got excited after hearing this and the only one that didn't let me down. She wasn't scared to go all out and it turned out being the best cut of my life! I'm definitely coming back for color very soon!
