I’ve been going to Jillian for years now. Much less frequently than I should because I am horrible at upkeep and maintenance. Nevertheless every time I do go Jillian does a fantastic job.

I have coarse curly hair and she’s been absolutely amazing with it.

I had a lovely first appointment with Jessica Cowart. I get a pretty basic cut (basically I just get the ends of my long hair tapered).

Studio is small and whimsical, loved the atmosphere.
