Relatively new to the area and was in search of a stylist. I went to Chelsea based off of reviews I found online. I was very pleased that my result was much like my “inspo photos”. She listened and explained what we could accomplish in our appointment and focused on my concern of not being too harsh and keeping hair…

She listened and explained what we could accomplish in our appointment and focused on my concern of not being too harsh and keeping hair healthy. I was happy that the pricing displayed in online booking stayed the same in person. Conversation came easy and natural. It was genuine and not hours of small talk that I would normally dread elsewhere. I left feeling great with a smile on my face. Definitely found who I will be booking with from now on .
