Y'all know....my hair is my accessory. I sometimes forget that I'm walking around with…read moreunicorn/mermaid hair because it's just normal now! How did this become a thing? Well in 2015 I decided to color my hair and I found Krystina and I haven't turned back since. Krystina's been my hair artist since then. I trust her with my hair. It's hard for me to trust someone with my hair as it's thick, slightly wavy and can poof out if you cut it the wrong way. I also only boxed colored my hair when I was younger. So when I finally wanted to color my hair again (virgin hair no color) I wanted to make sure I did it in the safest way and Krystina does that. Yes, it's not a quick process and yes it's not a cheap process, but spend a bit more to not damage your tresses. Then really it's up to you after that point to make sure you treat your hair the right way to maintain that hair color to make it last. You can read my previous reviews to explain how to take care of your hair and what I've learned from Krystina over the years (DM me if you need some advice). Yes, she makes sure you know how to take care of your hair so you don't have to see her again or provide you guidance on when to come back again to maintain color and hair length. So I only see Krystina once a year or when I know it's about ready for a new color (that usually is around a year when I get the itch). Then I sit in the chair from 5-9 hours...yeah I go in with a backpack of snacks and tablet/phone to sit for long periods of time. I basically go in with no expectations as I let Krystina do what she wants as I'm always game for whatever she wants to try out on my head as I know she'll make magic. And I always leave quite giddy and happy. This last session we had was magical. I felt like a Lisa Frank artwork. The neons were fab. I've had other friends reach out to me about my hair and I'm always happy to recommend Krystina! I'm a little over 6 months now since my last color and my head is still fabulously colored but faded of course in a rainbow of fall-like colors. I don't know when I'll get the itch again (probably 6 more months) but I know when I do, I'll reach out to Krystina and schedule. Krystina recently moved to Texas but flies back to do hair at her Pleasant Hill location. So make sure to schedule far in advance! I highly recommend Krystina for your coloring needs!

We will see how this color fades, but if all goes well, I'll be back in 4-5 months for a balayage! Or a sombre or an ombré....whatever it is!

I had never tried low lights before, so wasn't sure what to expect and was a bit nervous. Mahwash did a detailed consultation which helped me understand the process, she explained what to expect once it was done, and advised on the color options. I absolutely love the results!

I told Deborah that I usually have to curl my hair every morning after getting it done because it is flat every morning. She along with yet amazing stylists decided that I needed less curls and they would teach me how to wrap short hair. Deborah showed me right on the spot with her vibrant color satin head wrap scarves (They are $6 each of you need one). I was too excited to get home and prepare to sleep so I could try it what I learned...lol. I think my hair will be even cuter daily moving forward AND less maintenance. Thank you ladies!!

I've been going to her on and off for the past 7 years because my hair was primarily braided. Every time I see Debora it feels like going home. My last appointment with her was particularly poignant because she shaved my hair before I started chemotherapy. A long time client of hers paid for my haircut. They both showed me so much kindness and set the stage for my chemo experience. I am forever grateful to them for this. My 7 year old daughter has never been to a salon but I know Deborah has the exact vibe I want my daughter to experience when she gets her hair done by a professional.

I cannot possibly recommend Lexi highly enough. I got married on July 20th and Lexi took care of…read morehair and make-up for me and my bridal party, and everyone looked and felt incredible. I had a trial a few months prior where we got to talk about my ideas and concerns and Lexi was an expert listener, clarified what I meant, asked for input, and explained her rationale when giving suggestions. I have long, super fine, super curly hair and I'm always a little anxious letting anyone else do it, but Lexi was a pro. The style held up through the night and looked great in photos. No smoothing down frizzies or constantly tucking in bobby pins! I don't usually wear a ton of make-up and wanted to look like myself, and Lexi was totally on board for my vision. We tweaked a couple things day-of (softening the contour, change up the lip color a little bit) and it turned out so perfect in photos. But the thing that impressed me the most was Lexi's ability to be flexible and inclusive of the needs of my bridal party. I had an attendant who had recently come out as non-binary, and was feeling anxious about the hair/make-up process, not wanting to feel forced into a style that was too femme. They were unable to do a trial due to living out of state, but Lexi had them find photos of styles they were drawn to and send them along. She was patient as my attendant waded through the options to find something that felt right, and when they landed on the style they liked, Lexi totally delivered. She listened carefully, adjusted to their needs, and they felt so seen, heard, and loved in the process. It totally changed the tone of the day for them. They went from worrying about feeling out of place to feeling like they could be 100% themself. It made me so happy. THANK YOU, Lexi! You're amazing!!

I highly recommend Lexi for makeup application and lessons…read more She is a great combination of a creative individual and a smart business woman. She is incredibly professional--on time, communicates well, confirms, and organized. Her work is amazing. She can help you highlight your natural beauty and also accentuate different things depending on the event or whether the makeup is for video or photography. I hired her for business projects, and she immediately understood the look that would be appropriate for work. She uses great products, is open to using what you already own, explains her process, and is, of course, very talented at applying makeup! I had tired two other people before I found her, and I'm so excited to work with. She is very, very good. You will not regret hiring her. I've hired three times in the last two months and I already have 3 more appointments set with her.
