    My ASD son loathes haircuts - change is hard. He also has insanely thick curly hair that hadn’t been cut in nearly a year.

    I have been going to Starbaby for years and have had such good experiences with Rebeca! She really has a great approach to transitioning my greying hair and helping you decide your vision for your hair and figure out how to achieve great results. I highly recommend her work! The lowlights to blend grey with a little lightening in front looks beautiful— if I do say so myself! ;)
