I received a curly cut with Elena after seeing a recommendation from a social media search. I had a wonderful experience.

Camelia gave a great haircut, colour and style. She listened to what I requested and created a style that has left my hair much lighter and easier to maintain. The waves she created when styling look great and I would definitely return.
