I got a brazillian blowout by Stephanie and two months later, I am still grateful I did. She was extremely careful and attentive to my hair, not only did it come out fantastic but my hair is still not as frizzy till this day. Stephanie was the sweetest and kindest throughout the entire four hour process! I'm so grateful for her and her work!
