One of them even suggested straightening my hair if I wanted to have bangs, but I strongly disagreed because I love my curls. However, when I discussed the idea with…

Clara is a wonderful stylist and an absolute lifesaver for me and my toddlers. She is excellent with young children - my daughter loves the ocean cape and it is so convenient to have their hair cut at home where they are calm and relaxed. I highly recommend her!
