Alisha did an absolute fantastic job! I got highlights done and some layers cut.
First of all- absolutely love the colour and cut.
What made todays visit extra good- I felt like she really took her time!
I have really long her and find it usually uncomfortable up to super painful when I get my hair brushed after the wash. Yet, Alisha was incredible gentle and gave a really nice little massage during the wash too!
Super nice & relaxed experience, fantastic cut and colour!
Couldn’t be more happy with todays visit 🙌🏽
