Ever have one of those hair disasters that makes you want to hide under a hat forever... but life…read moredoesn't exactly pause for a bad haircut? That was me.
I had a corrective cut and color gone wrong, felt completely defeated, and then....because life has impeccable timing...I landed a dream job interview for the very next day!!!
In a panic, I sent out a Yelp service request, and it connected me with Jody, who might as well be a literal angel....call it divine timing I guess?! She opened the salon door calm, collected, and completely confident while I walked in feeling embarrassed, defeated, and convinced my hair was beyond saving. Not only did she squeeze me in at the last minute, she willingly took on a corrective cut and corrective color that many stylists wouldn't touch!!! especially with zero notice! She never made me feel like it was impossible or I was a problem. She just got to work. Less than three hours later, mind you....never has my hair taken less than 3hrs for a normal color and cut, & somehow this woman literally transformed it!
Watching someone operate at that level of skill is incredible. My mom was a hairdresser for years and always took clients at the house. Trust, I've seen a lot! There was no panic, no gimmicks, no upselling...just years of expertise, thoughtful decision-making, and genuine artistry.
But what impressed me even more was who she is.
Jody is honest. She's real. She has incredibly high standards without an ounce of ego. She listened, she was patient, and she worked with me despite my very tight budget because she knew I was trying to prepare for a life-changing interview.
Since then, my friends and family haven't stopped telling me how much brighter and lighter I look. Not just my hair...but me!!! They keep saying I'm smiling with my whole face again and standing a little taller.
And they're right!
I walked into that interview today feeling like myself again confident, put together, and present. I crushed the it!
Would that have happened without Jody? Maybe.
Would I have shown up as the fullest version of myself? Honestly... I don't think so.
Sometimes healing shows up in the strangest places. Sometimes it's in the chair of a hairstylist who reminds you what it's feels like to recognize yourself in the mirror again....
If you're looking for a salon where talent meets integrity, stop searching. Book with Jody or any stylist she's chosen to work alongside her. Leaders set the standard for the people around them, and you can tell she expects excellence because she lives it.
Spend your money here.
She's worth every penny.
Thank you, Jody, for helping me walk into one of the biggest moments of my life feeling like myself again. I'll never forget your kindness, your grace under pressure, and your incredible talent. See you in a few months.
