Desiree gave my the best haircut I've gotten in about 9 years...I'm not over-exaggerating. When I moved to the Bay in 2011, I left behind a stylist who had been cutting my hair since I was 4 years old. Since then, I have been bouncing from stylist to stylist hoping that someone would understand my hair. My hair isn't necessarily complicated, but I usually end up with something like "the rachel" or the mom from "The Brady Bunch" for some reason. The last cut I got was SO bad that I let my hair grow out for over a year. I realize now I was too scared to get it cut again. Then my good friend recommended Desiree and I feel like a million bucks. She talked through what I wanted, was kind, thoughtful, funny, and informative. I left learning a lot more about hair in general than I have with other stylists. By the end of the session, I was ecstatic and the greatest part is that after the first wash, everything still looks exactly as I would like it to given my routine (air-drying). I can't sing her praises enough. read more

I recently had my hair cut by Stephanie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! After going over a year without a haircut and dealing with postpartum hair loss, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed about what to do with my hair. From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel completely at ease. She took the time to listen to my concerns and understand what I was hoping to achieve, while also suggesting better options that suited my hair type and current situation. She explained every step of the process and gave me helpful tips on how to style and care for my hair moving forward. It was so reassuring to have someone who truly understood what I was going through and knew how to help me feel confident again. I walked out feeling refreshed and so much more like myself. If you're looking for a stylist who genuinely listens and knows their craft, I highly recommend Stephanie! read more

Desiree is nothing short of amazing!!! She has been cutting my hair for a few years now and has done both long styles and short hair-dos.

Desiree is an amazing hair magician who can both visualize and execute exactly how you want your hair styled! I have very thin hair and a narrow face, and have a hard time deviating from my typical boring style. Desiree uses her expertise to thoroughly explain her recommendations, along with my input, and then uses her skills and finesse to make my hair look styled, healthier, thicker, and gorgeous! She is highly knowledgeable, friendly, and not pushy- if I'm not feeling adventurous at the moment and just want a basic trim- she will give me just that. But when I do want a bold, daring change- I completely trust her vision and you should too! I highly recommend Desiree and am so thankful I found her! read more
