in 2001 i was desperate to get a good hair cut. a friend told me about this woman named joanne. i made an appointment and honestly,l it was the best personal care decision i have ever made! i have had a lot of hair cuts in 48 years, some at one of the top salons in nyc when i lived in westchester and some at a swank place in boston , and many at a lot of other places in between. NO one has given me a better hair cut than joanne. she is truly an artist. she is also funny, completely honest, kind and caring. not to mention way hip! she has lived and cut hair on the west coast - she knows and understands trends, but, more importantly, she understands hair...how different textures work, what styles flatter which face type, etc. she knows her stuff. only once have i over-rule her judgment on a style - i was determined to get a particular cut and she talked to me for 15 mins about what it was a bad idea. that was the one and only time i tried to tell her how to do her job, because...wow, she was so right! i have followed joanne through her journey in andover, moving where ever she moved. that is how spectacular she is. as long as joanne is within driving distance of andover, she will be cutting my hair. now she cuts my two eldest daughters' hair too. one has pin straight, slightly fine hair and the other has thick hair with volumes of body. she gives them the styles that work for their hair type and their life style. joanne is a pro!
