It occurred to me later that this might not be totally wash and wear- because I didn't remember to request that. I left with a super cute modern Farrah Faucet style that they carefully crafted. BUT I got out of the shower and just kind of scrunched my layers as they dried- SUPER CUTE. Natural volume and curl. The cut will be easy to dress up or down- and I'm not overwhelmed by the amount of hair strangling me in my sleep and tugging my neck wrong with the weight when I'm washing it. THANK YOU ERIC.

She had taken a before and after (I know I was really due for a cut) and I was shocked about just how badly it was needed. Highly recommend her and was very impressed in general.

On a Sunday walk, I ventured out of my usual path, and my luck struck. I passed by the corner of 44 th / Telegraph and discovered this hair salon. I searched on Yelp and read customers' praise. I called him and set an appointment. It is pandemic time, how does he handle the situation? He wore a mask. He cleaned out the room after the previous customer. He sprayed the room with an air cleanser, then left the door open for few minutes. He then led me in. He handed me an eye shield to cover my eyes which effectively protected me from any possible droplet. He handed me hand sanitizer before I left. He assessed my hair first, then asked how I would like it cut. I showed him a photo. He got right to work. My eye shield fogged up, I could not see how my hair was cut. But I felt very much at ease. Not worried about my haircut at all. After a meticulous and masterful cut, he washed my hair with a gentle scalp massage and a neck massage. This is almost the best part of the experience. Them came the layer by layer blow dry and styling. My hair turned out exactly what I asked him for, only better. K is an experienced hairstylist. He is gentle and patient. He pays attention to detail and style. You also get great music ( jazz) to enjoy and relax. I left there with a great feeling and a better look. I am so glad I found my hairdresser. Payment: he accepts credit cards, Apple Pay, and cash. So it is convenient. The appointment is easy to make. I called him. I read that you can also text him. Stress-free

Once you walk in, you know you're in a salon that is clean, well valued, and have a sense of serenity! The decor is also on point and there has never been a time that I've gone that the shop has been in a disarray. What shop have you ever been to that's always spotless and smell good at all times no matter how busy it is. Toni makes sure she takes pride in her brand and is a perfect example of her work! She is always put together and never makes excuses as to why her hair or appearance is a mess and she is always professional. This is why I was shocked to see the 1 star review that was left! I'm not a hairstylist, but I do have curly hair and know that my curly hair will never be bone straight with a relaxer. A relaxer is made to straighten your hair, but a good stylist is able to keep your hair healthy by keeping the integrity of your texture, especially when you want to add color. That is one thing Toni and I have discussed when she has colored my hair in the past. Her motto is healthy hair first! She is not one of those stylist that will put chemicals in your hair without you understanding what comes with the process. I love how she has taken care of my scalp; which has allowed my hair to grow and it's the healthiest it has ever been. No more shedding! No more flakes! No more dead hair! I have a beautiful full short cut with volume and she's even gotten my thin sides to fill in. I am thankful that Toni always puts her clients first, always reinvesting in her hair studio, takes the time to always educate her clients, and most recently have made major changes to incorporate COVID changes that proves she's not playing any games with our health nor hers!

I was adamant that even though I was putting together an Indian wedding with heavy outfits, I wanted all my makeup looks to be as natural and timeless as possible with elements of fun. Maria delivered on all of these requests, which included numerous rounds of trying different eyelash strips/lipstick colors/eyeliner shades and texting inspo pics and was always helpful and patient. I was so bummed I had to wash my face at the end of both days I had my makeup done by her! Regarding energy- Maria brought fun, lighthearted and genuine vibes that my entire family and I appreciated. Maria's ability to both keep light conversations while maintaining awareness of sensitive moments was such a gift that truly helped me enjoy the moment instead of being caught up in details.

She was at the reception desk with her previous client so I sat myself on the couch but she smiled at me as she saw me walk past her. I was expecting her to come get me when she finished but instead I watched her usher another woman back to her chair. It's one thing to wait a few minutes because your stylist is finishing up with the previous client, but to have your appointment given away is inappropriate. Furthermore, neither Kohl nor the receptionist came to me to explain why this would be happening. I had to approach the receptionist to ask why my appointment was not being honored. The receptionist said it would only be five minutes (and we both knew she was lying) but after waiting 15, I glanced back at Kohl's chair to see that it would still be awhile. The lying receptionist and Kohl's rudeness were appaling. Completely disrespectful. I've been going to Frank + Lola because it's in walking distance from my house, but the quality of the haircuts are too mediocre to put up with unprofessional behavior.

In my defense, I need someone closer to home and with a bit more availability in their schedule...plus, have you seen the magic that is Eric's work with these colors?! I think I'm ready to take this step to a new stylist and that stylist's name is Eric Gutierrez. My friend recommended Eric after I saw how amazing her hair looked. The perfect shade of mushroom brown. She said, "You know how you show a stylist a picture and you want your hair to look exactly like the picture? That's Eric." TRUER WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN SPOKEN! I had gone from super blonde to a faded brown (after trying to go dark) because I was ready to quit my blonde-Asian-girl-days and was not happy with the faded color. I knew I didn't want to go blonde again and I wanted to try something dark but different. Enter: dark denim blue. Or maybe dark silvery blue? Steel blue? I don't know, but I showed Eric one picture and then another one and then another one and basically said "yah something like that?!" My friend was right: my hair turned out exactly how I wanted it in the picture(s). I am sold! Also: Eric was so sweet to run and grabbed me a cup of hot tea when I started having a massive coughing attack while my head was in the sink.
