Lorena has been cutting my hair for about 15+ years now, since I was in high school. I discovered her while she was working at the chain place across the road in the Walmart shopping center, and followed her when she opened her own place nearby.
For over a decade, I haven't let anyone else touch my hair. Ever. When I was in Tampa for a semester in grad school, I would schedule an appointment for when I would be back in Orlando. Seriously. Even when I lived 250 miles away, I still insisted that no one else cut my hair. She's just that good.
The shop is a little small (some might call it "cozy"), but not uncomfortably so. It gets busy and a little noisy in there (a large number of her clients are Spanish-speakers, and we don't have an indoor voice!), so it's best to call ahead of time and schedule an appointment rather than walk in. She's super busy on Saturdays, so good luck getting in on the weekend. She's also closed on Sunday, and usually takes Monday off. There are a couple of other stylists there too. read more
