Split Ends

Look at me, I’m a Sandra fiend! Bursting with customer loyalty! (…it was that or the John Travolta song… so, you’re welcome.)
And shame on me for not having updated my review sooner, because…
1. Sandy is hooked up with a square now and she absolutely accepts credit cards.
2. I’ve been seeing her for three years and my perpetually colored locks have never been healthier. Not only did she bring my hair back from the brittle brink, she has again and again proven her prowess with color.
The first time I sat in her chair, and told her the long, rainbow-​bright history of my hair, she smirked and said, «Oh, you’re one of those, huh? The ones who get bored. You’re going to be trouble.» Smart cookie, because I like to go red in the winter and blonde in the summer, and for three years Sandy has navigated me safely between either spectrum.
And the color I get in between! My fave!
As if that weren’t enough, Sandy also administers the best haircuts I’ve ever had in my life. Probably due to the simple fact that she loves what she does. For having been in the industry for decades (like, when perms were all the rage decades), she never grew stagnant, never burnt out. She keeps learning. What’s more, she’s EXCITED to! She regularly attends teaching seminars — always telling me about some new technique she learned from one high end stylist guru or another — and she is downright giddy over new products (she could hardly wait for me to see/​feel the magic of Olaplex)!
Oh, and I almost forgot, she’s affordable too! I know. It’s like I’m making this up, but it’s all truly true. Funny thing is, though, I’m not writing this to drum up her clientele. Her reputation is solid and her business is good. I write this because she deserves it, and I was SO lucky to find her!
