I was thrilled to find Aide just before a big event! She is highly skilled, with an artist's eye…read moreand a compassionate heart. I trusted her with my long virgin hair and she did not disappoint! Aide observed the condition, texture, color (light brown/dark blond and starting to grey) and my style (or lack thereof), giving me just the right amount of Balayage to make me look "kissed" by the sun. She also gave me a nice low/no maintenance cut so this busy mom can just pop in and out of the shower--no blow drying necessary. Aide's keen observation combined with her willingness to listen and work with you to achieve a beautiful yet workable look is extraordinary. And the kindness she showed by coming in on a holiday so that I could look fabulous for my special day will never be forgotten. I wish I had found Aide years ago. Her artistry has brightened my look and my life!

Examples: drinks?, music?, scalp rub?, quiet time?, talk time?, etc. She is kind and enthusiastic about her work. She's been in the industry for approximately 10 years and continues to mature in that area. She's always looking for new opportunities to learn about hair. Which is what I like. She's always on time, responsible, advocates for what is right, reliable and supportive. She's happy to work with her clients and what they want ... not what the culture says we need ... I'm older and like long hair. She supports that fully. Her quality of service is EXCELLENT. The vibe is based on the client not Janet's wants. Super cute salon. Neat, tidy, clean. Products for sale and she's super funny!! She's a GREAT STYLIST and will be in business for a long time. I recommended her WHOLE HEARTEDLY
