Karen is phenomenal with curly hair. It took many years to find someone who not only understands curls, but also listens to what I want and doesn't chop more off than I'm comfortable with. She has a head full of curls herself so I felt confident when I first met her that I may have finally hit the jackpot and I definiely did! She has a remarkable ability to give me layers without making me loose length. The way she cuts my hair, I only have to wash and style it every other day which is a blessing because I'm a single mom with a demanding career. Having days where I can just scrunch a little conditioner and mousse in and my hair looks amazing, are quite valuable. To top it off she's a great person and makes every haircut experience relaxing and enjoyable. She's certainly the best hair stylist I've ever worked with and I'm almost 40! If you have curls, or know anyone who does, working with Karen is hands down the best choice ever.
