    Elle has been coloring and cutting my hair for over ten years. She is a consummate professional and stylist. Elle’s ability to synthesize and execute what clients want for themselves is a true gift. She takes time to first talk through services and never rushes conversations, all the while curating an approachable and warm experience.

    I often call Elle a ‘chemist’ because of her incredible skill with color services and knowledge about current trends. She consistently retains and tracks past sessions, continuously enhancing what people envision. Her haircuts are equally well executed and she has a great eye for longer term grow out.

    I'd give more stars if they let me! After a series of bad to awful cuts in (sorry) Eugene, I was in despair of ever having nice, even boring, hair again. I decided to look farther afield and came across French Cut Hair. Monica absolutely nailed a look that's suited for my face shape, suited for my thick, dense hair, and best of all, is pretty much the cutest cut I've ever had. Note that I've been getting professional cuts for over forty years! Well worth the drive! Thank you Monica!

    Monica is an artist! I came to her with having little idea of what I wanted but knew I needed something new and to take some length off. She took my input and immediately knew what she was going to do. The result was a fresh beautiful cut that complements my face and natural features of my hair. I’ve never felt so good about leaving an appointment! Will definitely be coming back to her from now on. Thank you, Monica!
