I'm share my joy in having discovered Lisa Power's salon in Queen Anne. After several bad ideas poorly done (color and hair relaxer that I've inflicted upon my hair, can't really blame anyone), I decided to try this salon. I met a customer who wears a vibrant dark red, the type I'd wonder every day how come it's not fading.... and read great reviews, but each experience is subjective. I also knew other stylists whose work is wonderful, so at first I battled skepticism: what can a new one do that I hadn't seen before? I have naturally curly hair and have been trying to grow it for the past 2 decades. Something however intervenes and either I'm exasperated with a pile of thick, un-rully, frizzy mess or I do something by way of color or execution which then requires cutting to get rid of damage. Michelle, a stylist at Lisa Power's, came in at such a time: I walked in with a chin length pile of heavily damaged, poorly colored frizzy mess and begged her to chop it off. She expertly and brilliantly reshaped it, keeping as much length as possible and showing me that there is a great way to grow it without sacrificing the sense of style and proportion. Sometimes a matter of a different angle in the cut, a relatively small adjustment can mean the world of a difference in proportion. Michelle restored a sense of well being: I don't struggle every day trying to style the hair into what it is not, but rather wear a good cut and use products that enhance nature. I look forward to our future appointments, to trying out styles and color. Even though everyone's joy when they meet a talented stylist is a rather subjective and individual find, when so many say the same about the same salon, it's got to be the testimony of a place worth checking. For anyone who thinks that great hair is not a privilege, it's something that can be done by a stylist with a vision and flair. Thank you, Michelle. Monica D.
