Lesly did such an incredible job with my hair! She made sure every detail matched my vision, never rushed through the appointment, and was so sweet and patient the whole time. You can truly tell how much she cares about what she does. Highly recommend

A. La Fera is a gorgeous salon — I think I’d go there even if I wasn’t in love with my stylist— but I am💕💕Rovena is extremely knowledgeable (I’ve heard her called “the master”) and really understands my thick curly hair, and makes it look amazing, cut, color and style, every time. I adore her and look forward to every visit.
