I decided today was the day to try to find a local salon that had a stylist unafraid of natural curl who could shape my mop. After the last disasterous cut it took 6 months to grow out.. Desperate I walked in to Jaujou Studio. Great vibe, freindly faces to greet me. I feel LUCKY to have landed in Alise's chair. She took the time to notice things about my hair that make you feel understood instead of shunned because your hair isnt the perfect pallet to create SHOW hair.\r
With over 25 years in the business she seems to have learned plenty. The cut was like nothing I had experienced before, she did it dry and had a very zen approach to shaping it. Not only did she give me a great cut but she also educated me on how to be more accepting of my beautiful mane and let me know its uniqness is what makes me unusual in todays flat ironed no personality hair. Her more organic approach to hair is so refreshing. I have told many a friend and am looking forward to another cut in a few months (PSST... she gives $25 to your next service every time a friend lands in her chair, with as much as I have raved to all that will listen my next cut will be free!!) She is kinda a freelance stylist and is in varous locations, but stays close to home in oakland on tuesdays, wednesdays.Check her out, you wont be dissapointed!!
Pros: expert attention.
Cons: Only takes payment in the form of cash or check.
