But it'd be remiss of me to not give a shout-out to Chenelle, who has garnered so much of my trust with her cut, highlighting, and coloring skills over the past few years. The low-key transformations she's given to my hair always grow out beautifully, and she's fixed two unfortunate haircuts that I've gotten elsewhere while traveling. Logistics-wise, street parking can be competitive but there's a parking garage just a block away. I love that I can see availability online and book at-will. They basically have a loyal customer for life out of me, even though I no longer live as conveniently close as I used to!

Chenelle is amazing -- talented and empathetic! I had a really bad haircut from a salon across the…read morestreet where the stylist cut 12 inches off despite me requesting a trim of 3-4 inches, made the right and left sides completely uneven, and left a huge cliff between the front framing layers and rest of my hair. My friend took me across the street to Salon Gerard to fix it, and despite me not having an appointment, Chenelle stayed late to trim my hair to fix the unevenness and cliffs and expertly calmed me down as I was still in shock. I really miss my long hair, but Chenelle styled it so well that I was not completely distraught and even gave me tips on how to preserve the blowout. She's not only highly talented as a stylist but also incredibly empathetic and reassuring in stressful situations. I would recommend her to everyone.

This review was written the day after my hair was done but held off on posting until now because I…read morehate to leave the review because Tosha is fantastic but I have to based on how I feel about my hair after an appointment that took months of researching what I wanted and hours on end looking at and saving pics to make sure hairstylist was on the same page with what I wanted. My hair didnt look anything like my inspiration pics. Highights didn't go further than top of head area even though I was told that if I get balayage, it would be the only way to get the color I wanted from roots to ends based on some previous color on my ends..(I was trying to avoid bleach and have had my entire head colored the same reddish/copperish color in the past with no bleach but I was told it couldnt be done) From the getgo I was saying how my key priority was keeping my hair healthy- hence why I wanted badly to avoid bleaching after years of growing out my thick hair. I was recommended partial balayage was only way to get a color lift. The color was not what I wanted ! Hilights were not placed like I was hoping in my inspo pics -My hair still looked overall dark even though I mentioned wanting it to stand out a bit and look like I got my hair done at my event. I received absolutely no compliments for the first time after getting my hair done and for the first time did not post a pic after to my social media as I usually do when getting my hair done.Placement almost makes it seem like grown out highlights that need to be redone and I am fully aware of technique used in balayage to make it look dimensional and natural (I worked in salon and have spent A LOT of time watching this be done -painted on- and I have a good eye for what looks good ) Now Im stuck with bleached hair with tons of broken flyaways and a color I don't like after years of growing out my natural hair and paid almost $300 to not like my hair. I have been recovering from 2 really bad hair experiences in the last 5yrs so this was a big step.I asked if she could give me different shades of the color so it looks more dimensional and it was acknowledged but not done I guess to avoid mixing up two separate bowls of color. Color looked worn out and almost like Ive washed it many times..It looks like the color when you know you need to go get your hair done again. It did not pop even in the money piece area as the inspo pics I showed-Unfortunately, I do not like it. I also left with alot of gray hairs which I later noticed around my face and in head that stand out..exactly what you don't want when coming home from the salon. If I am going to pay that much I need to come home with no grays which was one of my first concerns at the hair appointment. That being said, I did not want to leave this review. Tosha was great. She did a very thorough consult and has experience in her craft. The cut was not not the best Ive gotten,first time a hairdresser had razered off my very thick hair instead of cutting. Could have been more even in framed front pieces..that part was done too fast with not much attention at the end to make sure everything lines up. Framed front pieces were two different lengths.Also doesn't look like much of an angle cut now that I came home to inspect..barely an angle which is what I wanted just like the pic I showed her of her previous customer which had a good angle. Overall it was just OK Im not happy with the color or the spacing of highlights or the thickness of them making it look like only front top area is all one color not much contrast in between and color not coming down to ends regardless of being bleached. Back doesn't show much of anything. After deciding to bleach my hair to get what I wanted, I did not get that and now Im in the beginning of the same process of having to start my journey of growing out my hair AGAIN in my 40s! I just washed it today for the first time and I was in tears after. After 4hrs of working trying to tame it the hair texture was crazy frizzy and not like my normal hair The only way I can see myself coming out of the house is if I use a straightener &use high heat every single time I wash!I can imagine what Ill look like this summer at the beach with hair getting wet and beach saltiness. I just wanted to love my hair! The very same night I came home from hair appt, I felt sad and every time I look in the mirror, I feel as if I have to make another hair appointment already. Saw alot of family/friends and no one liked it :( I hate to leave this review as I absolutely loved Tosha. She was sooper nice and sweet and kind and educated you while she worked. She styles great -Regardless of our long consult, I just think there was a miscommunication on what exactly I wanted/expected. I showed her pics so many times just to make sure we were on the same page. The experience with her was great though.
