We had such a wonderful experience with Courtney! She did both my hair and my son’s, and I couldn’t be happier. I love my hair — exactly what I was hoping for. My son has very curly hair (and it was only his second haircut), and we weren’t quite ready to part with his curls. She was so gentle, patient, and understanding, and she absolutely nailed it. His curls still look amazing, and we’ve gotten so many compliments already. We will definitely be back!
