During my first appt with Chez he took plenty of time to assess my hair type and colour, taking into account my face shape, skin tone, and styling requirements (or lack of in my case). He then went on to explain what sort of problems he thought I'd had in the past with my hair (and was EXACTLY right) - from what styles had not worked through to what colours had washed me out.
Before cutting he also presented me with a direction in which he'd like to take my hair – what cut/colour, how to improve it's condition, and eventually what kind of maintenance I would need. After quite a few “shockers” in the past I was skeptical (as it involved cutting most of my hair off!) so we worked together to come to a compromise.
After three months I finally decided to let Chez loose with his “vision” for my hair and for the first time in my life I LOVE MY HAIR. It is so easy to manage, I don't have to have it coloured (to get rid of grey) nearly so often, and I get so many complements! Best hairdressing experience ever!!

Approximate cost: $180 (cut and colour)
