Yesenia is an amazing stylist. After going through several stylists, she’s the one who truly listened to me and gave me the best cut for my hair and for my face. Additionally, she does wonders with colors and highlights. And finally, she’s just one of the nicest humans you will ever meet and she truly cares about her clients.
