I entered this wonderful light of a salon defeated and almost ready to shave my head. I have been dealing with severe illness and losing hair from nutritional deficit and other reasons. I came in to cut off as much as I could. My hair used to be one of my favorite things about me.
Mimi Han(my stylist) was kind and compassionate as I told her my reason for being there. I felt heard. Before she even started her magic, she informed me that the owner Holly Dear and her Assistant Ted Hayes do scalp analysis for people struggling with hair loss. I had never heard of it. I was so open to it. All of my doctors and dietician are working on the nutrition issues, but how AWESOME that I can help my scalp topically??
Holly was warm, a ray of light, and explained everything so well. She showed me where I am losing the most, and Ted put a little camera on my scalp to show me what my scalp looked like. It was red, inflamed, and dry. She made recommendations for all natural products that will restore my scalp health. Ted explained so well how to use it and was very supportive. It can be a vulnerable thing to talk about hair loss, but Mimi, Holly, and Ted made me feel so supported.
Now on the the haircut. Mimi did the DevaCurl cut on me. Her shampoo was very gentle given my scalp being irritated but still lovely. I got to the salon and looked in the mirror so sad and not really knowing whose hair I was looking at. Mimi did the cutest reveal for me to see my new hair. It is phenomenal!!!!! I am so glad I didn't shave my head. I feel so pretty. Mimi also worked late for me because I only booked a cut and had the scalp analysis also. I was the last one in the salon by far.
This place is a fantastic salon, but there are much bigger things at work here and they are love and compassion.
