*~* Stop over-paying for mediocre work! *~*
I come from a couple generations of beauticians, and can tell you that a great beautician NOT ONLY does great hair, but they're also a therapist, psychologist, teacher, and friend all rolled into one. And a great one is not easy to find!
I have been all over the valley, and nobody takes care of me like Srey (pronounced Sa-Ray)!
I have gone from black to blonde, highlights to lowlights, and everything in between. There is nothing that she can't do, and I don't have to go back multiple times to get it! The prices are very reasonable and she is quick (unlike some beauticians that over-charge and are right out of beauty school).
PS...Just because the beauty shop looks nice, doesn't mean the work is good. Maybe if they didn't spend so much on the decor, their prices would be more affordable! ; )
