Sue was a LIFESAVER! Got me in same day - on a sunny Saturday - thanks to a cancelation. She examined the cut / style options i was choosing from and NAILED the one she recommended for my face shape & texture. Spent at least a half hour straightening, coifing and pampering my hair- I walked out so liberated and lighter and overjoyed with my new look
