Shoutout to Ami! 🫶🏻 The girls weren’t overly excited about getting their hair cut, especially since they were going to someone new, but they walked in with an open mind and left SO happy!!! 😍✂️ She took the time to connect with them, understand what they loved (and didn’t love), and made sure they felt…

Ami is a beast. She runs her own business, is super friendly, and is amazing at cutting and styling hair. Ami has the unique experience of learning her craft in both a salon and a barbershop, giving her an edge on her competition while still being more than competitive with the cost of her services.
