Okay so here's the deal..... ;)…read more First things first: MaryLou is by appointment as well as walk~ins. BUT they only take CASH so come prepared but their prices are unbelievably affordable especially when you consider how MUCH time and expertise both her and her husband David take and spend on each client. Was ready to take my very short coif down to a super short piXie cut AND go platinum blonde..... Two major style change requiring serious skiLL n know how if I wasn't going to come out looking like a weed whacker attacked my head and I stumbled n fell into a bucket of Clorox.....; head first... I had just moved into a tiny town that I would soon learn would be located somewhere between a bad episode of the twilight zone n the Bermuda Triangle... Aka: Los Banos,Ca ... With zero resources except for this lil style oasis called D&M. MaryLou talked to me in detail about the process that would follow from the cutting to the color and prepared me for the strong discomfort that I would very likely experience following the application of the Bleach not only to my hair but to my scalp as its super supppppppppppppper strong bleach in order to take the natural hair color down to a pure platinum. Although it was mildly uncomfortable as i have a damn strong tolerance for pain; she checked with me constantly asking if I was okay which I appreciated so much as i can't tell you how many times i've NEVER been asked the question in the years past by other colorists while cooking under their dryers as my eyes wept and watered from the fumes... 6 months later I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY PiXie cut Platinum style and DAILY receive compliments on both my color and cut anywhere I go.. NO joke.. The compliments come in multiples and daily ;) MaryLou has the MOST skilled set of hands along with her mind and she's a true master of clippers AND YES! Although I'm a chic my back and sides are clipped hella short at my request and she tapers, scissor cuts and TEXTURIZES unlike anyone I've encountered today. ONLY thing that breaks my ice cold~heart is that I just moved to Sac and now to get to her I am well over 2 hours away ONE way.... SO the search has begun to attempt to find my new stylist & colorist here which brings up a good point : When I went to see her for my very last cut right before the move and informed her i was moving INSTEAD of withholding the techniques she uses on me as well as the product line, she instead shared them all with me telling me what to tell my future new person. The ONLY thing I will miss about this lil hole in the wall town is MaryLou...... Period lol Final Grade: A ~ The End ;)~
