I got the most amazing haircut from Raul today. I’m obsessed! ? Raul took time to listen to what I was looking for, assess my hair, and come up with a plan we both felt good about. And the results blew me away! He even gave me a ton of great hair care and styling tips. Raul is a master and a lovely person. Such a fabulous experience!
