Finding a stylist who is good at color and who also knows how to work with fine and straight hair is a challenge, but Barri Chase knocked it out of the park! They custom mixed my color and the experience at Akemi Salon was so warm and welcoming I will definitely be back. Barri turned my mousy ash brown hair from ordinary to extraordinary!Services: Haircut
