I was recommended to Irina's Salon & Spa by a very good friend (who just so happens to have great hair). After briefly meeting Irina and getting to know her down-to-earth style, I decided to turn to her in order to transform my dry & damaged locks into something that resembled healthy hair. Waiting for my appointment, I listened in on her explanation of how & why she was cutting another client's hair in the particular way it had been cut. Her confident and professional ""shop talk"" inspired me to give her creative freedom instead of sticking to being the ""backseat driver"" while getting my haircut. Sensing that I was nervous, Irina assured me that she wasn't ""scissor happy,"" and that she would stick to whatever length I wanted. She chopped about 6 inches of dead, unshaped hair and ""opened up"" my face with very slight layering in the front. NOTE: I do not put any products in my hair or blow-dry, or straighten my hair. Irina specifically cut the layers in such a way that they would naturally shape themselves from being tucked behind my ears when my hair is wet!!! I had a great experience and will definitely be returning to see Irina next month to experiment with some color options!
