Hava really knows her curls! This was the first curly cut I've gotten and she did such an incredible job. I was going for a curly bob which is especially challenging and I couldn't be happier. I highly recommend.

Yvonne is great! This is my before and after. My hair had faded to an orange color that I needed to be fixed. Yvonne was able to add a great color gloss to match my natural hair color and gave me a much needed trim. I’m feeling great before my upcoming vacation!
