My son and I have been coming to Stephanie for a few months now. She is so very patient and attentive with him (he's 2 years old). She does a great job cutting his hair and takes the time to do his sideburns, around his ears, and the back of his neck. Which seems like a no brainer but I've taken him a couple places where the person won't do it "because he's little and won't sit still for it." Even after I say he will. So his hair looked unfinished and we never went back to those places. I also like that she takes her time. We've gone to kid places and barber shops and they basically push his head around and give him a subpar 5 minute cut just because he's little. I know he's little but I'm not going to have him walking around looking silly; I've put in work with him so that he sits still (for a 2 yr old). Aside from Stephanie only one other person (a barber) actually took their time and gave him an appropriate cut. She also gives him lots of suckers so he likes that part. His cut is $15 which is pretty much in the ball park for a kids' cut in the area (aside from a Super Cuts etc type spot).
I also get my hair cut with her and I've loved every cut and I'm super picky about my hair. She listens and makes suggestions. Doesn't try to sell a bunch of stuff and, my favorite part, she doesn't put a lot (if any) product in my hair. I wash my hair 1-2 times a week and use zero product beyond shampoo/conditioner so any extra stuff in my hair really throws it off. I've not gotten it colored by Stephanie but I'm thinking it may be time. It's been over a year since I last colored it so maybe it's time?
Bonus: online scheduling via Vagaro. I can make our appts super easy. My schedule is complex so calling places and playing the Appointment Game takes up an embarrassing amount of time for me and the poor person on the other end. This is perfect! read more
