Like the last reviewer, I also found out about Mi Hwa from my mom, who had been urging me to give her a try for years. I was a little hesitant to leave my high-end salon that I'd been a loyal client of for a long time, but when they couldn't get me in before my departure for a trip, I decided to call Mi Hwa. She offered to stay after hours for me since I work until 7 pm almost every day. How amazing is that?
Mi Hwa has only cut my hair once, but I can tell you that I'm sold. I was a little skeptical at first because I wasn't sure if a stylist who cut my mom's hair would necessarily be good at cutting my hair in the modern styles that I prefer. Boy, was I wrong. Mi Hwa is a true technician, and she's very precise in what she does. She takes her time to make sure that every single strand of hair is just as it should be. She's meticulous, talented, and has a great bubbly and warm personality to boot. I'm extremely picky with my hair, but she was able to read my mind and do exactly what I wanted.
If you're a person that needs to be pampered with scalp massages, aromatherapy, beverages, and the best hair products on the market, then perhaps Elegant Reflections isn't the right place for you. My last salon had all the bells and whistles, but in the end, Mi Hwa simply gives better haircuts at half the price, and I'm going to be switching to her services from now on. Her salon is simple and straight to the point, but her talent speaks volumes.
Another point to add about Mi Hwa is that she has no online presence and does zero marketing. You can't even find her in the Yellow Pages. Her salon is in a small strip-mall that has very low traffic, and you wouldn't be able to find her salon unless you were actively searching for it. Despite all of this, she manages to stay very busy from word-of-mouth referrals alone. I think this says a lot about her talent as a stylist. My mom first found her by asking a co-worker whose hairstyle she admired where she got her haircut. Now people have been asking me the same. I doubt this review will be read by many, but if you're looking into Elegant Reflections, I urge you to give Mi Hwa a try. You won't regret it.
Sincerely,
