I began having my hair cut, in the early 1990's, by Lou Paris. It was the first time in my 44 years that a stillest truly understood and taught me about my hair. When Lou moved to FL, I began seeing Michael Petrill. He is the "Chemist of Color". I appreciate his honesty when I say, "do you think this would work with my hair"? He listens to his client. When he says no, he comes back with a suggested style that would work better. He is amazing with his scissors. Michael has a warm and fun personality. I have been going to Michael since 2000. The entire atmosphere of the Cuttery is friendly and sometimes it seems like I'm walking into a family reunion.

As always I left my time there feeling reguvenated and ready to take on whatever life has in store for me. I rely on their talented staff to know me as well my hair, they are professionals.
VIP treatment, a cut above the rest, totally rad. I feel like a celebrity here being snuck in to a members-only coterie. High-end artistry yet unpretentious... Rare is it to find such talent as well as genuinely kind service. Personalized trimming to a T, based on my unique face shape, and not just some trendy do. Should I not leave this review, to keep this gem hidden? ?
