Barbara is great, she believes in healthy hair and is a VERY positive person. I recommend her to all. If you bring her a picture of what you want she does a really good job of duplicating it. Also, after a few visits you dont even need a picture because she knows what you want and will tell you what wont work for you. I have really thin edges but love short hair. She was able to manipulate every hair style and provide me at home tricks and tips so that it wasnt noticeable. Highly reccomend!
