Thank goodness for Ali and The Parlor! I've had so many bad hair experiences that I would go over a year between cuts because the stylists would always cut off way too much or give me horrible layers for my hair type. It was always a cookie cutter cut. \n  \nMy 1st visit to The Parlor was impressive. Myself and my daughter were both ready for a change. We were greeted with a smile and very cute sign that welcomed us as new clients. My 13 loved that. Ali was our stylist and she was amazing. She took time to actually ask us real questions about how we maintain our hair, how we prefer to wear it, what styling products we use, and \""played\"" with our hair before even touching the scissors! \n\nMy daughter is African American and often times her hair is butchered when we have it cut or she's told she can't have long hair because it won't work. Well, Ali fixed my poor daughters hair that had been horribly botched a year before. Ali made sure to tell her how to keep her hair healthy and even set out a plan to help her to get it to grow out. She was so excited and felt hope instead of defeat for what she couldn't have.\n\nNow on to me, after 10 years of non-dyed hair if finally took the plunge! And I love it!!! Ali actually put a color on and started to prep for cutting but wasn't happy with the color and said she wanted it perfect. She did a little change and it was perfect!!! She listened to my past layering complaints and only cut off what was asked and did a beautiful job of making my hair easy to maintain. \n\nI've already booked our next appointments and am finally excited about going back the salon!
