Sick of trying out expensive salons only to wind up with some overly stylized or chunky cut no matter what I request, or to have my stylist relocate, I have found Irene. She stays in one place, keeps her clients forever (while I was in the chair, regulars were coming in begging to be squeezed in), is reasonably priced, has tons of free parking. It's also nice to find someone I can talk to easily, without it feeling forced. She has a maternal vibe and treats you not like a haircut, but like your hair is now her baby, and she will take care of it for years to come. She is far more concerned with the long term, which is why she doesn't nickel and dime you - after all she did to my hair, I was cringing at how the charges were probably racking up, but it ended up costing exactly what she said on the phone for a basic cut and half head of highlights (by the way, these are all you need, the way she does them). Unbelievable!
