I don't mean to make this a rant, because I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dej and my stylist Erica, just hear me out. \r

I hate those hollywood/valley salons where it's understood that you're going to put down major money for one of 3 assistants to do your hair while the overpriced stylist stands around talking to his/her friends sipping a latte. My opinion is, if your assistant does all the work on my hair, then why am I paying you? I know stylists get busy and they need to juggle, and that's fine once in a while, and I know that assistants need to learn the ropes, but I don't really want to pay full price for a color, when in fact it may take 3 hours for your assistant to get it right... \r

With that said: Erica is FAN-FREAKIN-TASTIC! and yes, even though she does have an assistant (who I like and think is really cool) she does 90% of the work herself. She gives great style to my short hair. Not an easy task, since the older I get the thicker and more wavy it gets...ugh. Thanks girl. My time and my money are important to me, and Erica definitely understands that.\r

My only worry with giving this recommendation is that now she's going to get more requests, be more busy...and hire more assistants. LOL!
Pros: I love my stylist, and the atmosphere is great.
Cons: Parking can be troublesome, but hey, it's L.A.
