I understand that each client is different and has different needs. I take into consideration that every hairstyle is not for every hair condition. Some styles can be damaging depending on the condition of your hair, scalp or hairline.  During a consultation I assist you with finding a style or technique that will best fit your needs based on your hair condition and lifestyle.  During a consultion you have the opportunity to freely express your concerns, ask questions and fully understand the services available. This is also a valuable time for your stylist. This gives your stylist the opportunity to actually see your hair, scalp, hairline and learn more about you and your lifestyle. I will give you asisstance with choosing a style that looks great, is affordable and offers the maximum benefits for you.
