Paria is, without question, one of the best hairstylists I've had the pleasure of using. My hair is very difficult to deal with, but you wouldn't think it when this lady gets her hands on it. The color for my hair she suggests for me is wonderful as well.
Paria is what I would consider more of an artist than a hairstylist. Cuts are considered carefully, and she is not afraid to discuss and make suggestions to enhance your style to what is best to flatter your appearance.
If you plan on getting a Brazilian Blowout, I highly recommend Paria, she does NOT cut corners and will make certain the process is done thoroughly and properly. I've been to others that make a quick mess of it, and instead of lasting a solid 2+ months, I've gotten maybe 4 weeks out of the others I've tried.
Oh yes, she also happens to be a doll! Very nice and extremely flexible and accommodating to any of your needs.
