I have extremely dense, but baby-fine hair with tons of wave - - it's very difficult hair to cut. Additionally, I have a very prominent hair whorl which makes my pixie haircut even more difficult to get exactly right. That being said, I've never met anyone who could cut it right until I met Tarah (jr. hairstylist at H20, Urbana).
Tarah is flexible, attentive, and asks tons of questions along the way ("Do we want it longer on top and on the sides? Do you want this part *points* cleaned up a little? What don't you like about the way it's growing? Do you want this part shorter? How's your whorl styling for you?"), which is rare in a hairstylist. Most of them just put their blinders on and have at it. Not Tarah. She offers styling tips, hair care tips, and has great ideas for spicing up a very short haircut. She also never fails to spend at least an hour on my hair.
I get tons of compliments on my haircut, and I always, always refer them to Tarah. It's the best haircut in town, for an amazing price ($25).
