Kai is a curl whisperer. As a curly girl herself, she paid close attention to my hair’s natural texture to create a perfect custom cut (and even did a cool curl twirl to define each of my curls individually). So glad I finally found my stylist after being here for so long. Never going to anyone else but her from now on.
