Your Hair Journey
Client Love
“I had the honor of having my hair colored by Crystal. First off, she's a genius, secondly, if you're not booking her for all your color dreams you're making a huge mistake. I was worried about how the bleach would react to my curls, and she did everything to protect them during the bleach process. Dare I say, they looked better and healthier when she was done than when I came in (with first day hair!!). She's such a gem, I'm so grateful to have found someone that I will be seeing for the rest of my life. She had free reign on the color and did a pink/purple mix that looks SO AMAZING, I could cry. Crystal, if you see this, I've never loved my hair more, you're amazing, you're perfect, an icon.”

“I can not praise L enough, she is the best stylist I have ever had. She is so talented, a true artist. My hair always looks amazing when I leave, but unlike other stylists, with L my hair continues to look great even after three months. I always look forward to my appointment with L!”
