I can't say enough good things about Amber! I'm an African-American woman who's been in LA for two years. I've been completely frustrated with my search to find a quality stylist. My my search if finally over!
THE PROCESS:
From the moment I sat in Amber's chair I knew she was the type of quality stylist I was used to going to back in NYC. She took the time to do a full consultation before putting anything in my hair. She examined every inch of my hair and my entire scalp. She also asked lots of questions to make sure she gave me what my hair needed. Hair health is one of her top priorities. She then made many recommendations and suggestions. Once we decided on a plan she went to work. I came in for a relaxer touch-up and a cut (not a trim). Before she put the relaxer in she based my entire scalp not just my hairline (if you get relaxers you know how important this step is). Then she meticulously put in the relaxer cream. She was very careful to put the relaxer ONLY on my new growth and not overlap it on top of previously relaxed hair (again, if you get relaxers you know how important this step is as well). Because she based my entire scalp, I didn't feel a thing and she was able to leave the relaxer in a bit longer so it can really straighten my new growth. The wash was out of this world! She massaged my scalp and it was so relaxing I fell asleep. Then she put in a deep conditioner and put me under a steamer. It was like a facial for your hair! If you have damaged hair like I do, this step is a must do for ANY hair texture. Next, the cut. Her cutting technique is really high quality and extra-meticulous. She gave me exactly what I wanted.
THE RESULT:
My hair came out silky smooth, extra shiny, and totally touchable. My hair had a swing it never had before! Amber is a complete professional. She does hair of ALL textures. So, whether you're black, latina, white, asian, or anything else, Amber is absolutely your girl!
Pros: Amber, Amber, Amber! Highly professional. She totally enjoys styling hair.
Cons: Not a single one!
