Sara is an educator and artist. Both of these skills became readily evident as she patiently explained how best to hydrate my hair and retain length. She first evaluated my color (I have varying shades of light brown and blond, but my roots had grown out by ~1-1/2in and the grays were screaming) and talked me through how she was going to blend my roots to match my existing color and would not be adding additional highlights at that time. I am OBSESSED with my color - imagine warm blond, light brown, with blond sparkles! Sara can paint some hair folks and understands tone & blending. Next, she thoroughly cleansed my scalp and applied a steam treatment to moisturize and deep condition my coils. After, she blew me out with a round brush (her hands are SO GENTLE - no pulling or tugging - and then silk-pressed my hair into a carefree tousled curl style that lasted for more than a week. The pièce de résistance was when she taught me how to pin curl the style for maintenance. I've spent a small mortgage on my hair throughout my 55-years, often with lackluster results. To add insult to injury, many stylists have balked (out loud) about the thickness of my hair. Not Sara. She wasn't the least bit intimated by thick coils and made light work of all the steps described. As soon as she touched my hair, I knew I was in good hands because she just understands hair across the spectrum. If you've read this far, you know that I'm a Sara fan. She is now my go-to stylist when in the U.S. and I cannot wait to see her for my next appointment in November. If you're looking for a centrally located salon in Arlington, VA, that is situated in a beautiful building, with a colorist, stylist, and hair artisan that will pamper and empower you on your hair journey, I highly recommend that you check out Sara of Haircare by Sara.
