Terri is outstanding – a curly-haired must-try!

I've got that challenging kind of hair – it's both wavy and curly and pretty difficult to cut right. I've only known one other stylist who could bring out the best of my hair over the last 20 years. Terri has been great to work with! I've seen her for a few cuts now. She's attentive, checks in to make sure the approach she's thinking of is what I want, and very encouraging about my getting in touch if the cut doesn't work out (I've never needed this). She's a must for all you curly-hair types 🙂

Great haircut & experience

Attention all curly haired folks who want a great haircut! I have had trouble finding the right person for me and am so happy to know I will be happy with Terri's cuts. I have just had my second cut with Terri and couldn't be happier with it. She really listens to what you want, but also has really good style sense–she can take what you want and make it even better. It is also a relaxing experience; she takes the time needed (no rushing through or people waiting for her while you are there).

Terri is the ONLY person I will trust with my hair

Her artistry is unmatched, and her prices are beyond reasonable. I always leave feeling beautiful, and I trust her judgment unconditionally on color and styling. There is nowhere else I would go to get my hair colored cut or styled.

The Best

The best. Terri is a magnificent hair designer & colorist as well as a caring human! I have enjoyed every single visit and have walked out feeling satisfied for the past 3 years or so. Terri gradually helped me transition into the hair color I wanted. I notice that every visit she has learned something new that she passes on, in terms of available products and creative possibilities. Haircuts suit my taste and personality. She is a great listener. Strongly recommend. Go visit soon!
