What I asked for vs. What I got💇🏻‍♀️

I love my new hair cut!

I asked for layers and a v cut in the back. I have thick hair that causes me to get headaches if it is too long so to lighten my hair weight I get my hair cut into layers💇🏻‍♀️

I was long over due for a cut and am in love with the result! My hair stylist Grace always comes through for me!

... Read moreWhen it comes to haircuts, communication with your stylist is key to achieving the desired look. I had been struggling with thick hair that caused headaches due to its weight, making it essential for me to keep the length manageable. After requesting layers and a V cut, I was thrilled with the outcome. Choosing the right hairstylist who understands your needs can significantly influence your satisfaction. Personally, I've found that regular consultations about hair texture, face shape, and personal style preferences lead to better experiences. The hairstyle I received not only met my expectations but also added a fresh flair to my appearance. Consider incorporating styles such as curtain bangs or face-framing layers to complement layered cuts—these can enhance your overall look and work well with various hair types. Maintenance is another aspect; regular trims help keep layers looking sharp and prevent split ends. Experimenting with colors can also add depth to layered styles, making them visually stunning. Embrace change in your hair journey, and you might discover new favorites that enhance your confidence!

As soon as I showed the nail tech what I was looking for he said “I can try” 😬 and he really did I’m such a people pleaser and could see him really trying but then again I’m so OCD and don’t think they give the same vibe. Over all, before tip was $85. I still think they’re cute, but not
