I absolutely love my hair cut with Morgan. It turns out so gorgeous. We did balayage, which gives such a soft, natural look to the hair. I love how Morgan was incredibly friendly and detail-oriented, and very meticulous in the best way. You can tell she really cares about her work. I also got massage in this place, which was incredible too.
