I went to Wild Roots after my color to have my hair cut by Mercedes.
Mercedes does curly cuts. Mercedes knows curls! Even in the tropics, she'll have your curly locks photo-shoot ready.
Besides cutting your curls like curls NEED to be cut, she'll coach you on how exactly to tame your mane here in hawaii. From styling advice to product recommendations, Mercedes will send you off with everything you need to look amazing with minimal effort.
Side story: Two days after my appointment, after it had been raining all week, I went to Sephora in Lahaina. Admittedly, Sephora always intimidates me a little. I love shopping there, but it always feels a little judgy. My hair was complimented once by a shopper while in the store, which was great. Then! As I was checking out, the Sephora employee behind the counter raved about my hair. She couldn't believe that I'd figured out how to keep my curls looking so good in Hawaii's heat and humidity, let alone in the rain! The employee didn't even try to sell me any hair products. lol A free compliment, and judgement I appreciated to hear. I text Mercedes afterwards to let her know.
Finally, she's very sweet, friendly, easy to talk to, and laidback. I absolutely recommend her for curls and Hannah for color. read more
