Sala has some serious talent! I have natural hair and am very picky about my stylists. I found Sala to be gentle with my hair. She does not blow dry rough, like a lot of other stylists I have been to. She also does a great shampoo. I have had her trim my hair as well and felt she was thorough without cutting too much. The only reason she doesn't get 5 stars is b/c I didn't get that \"warm & fuzzy\" feeling at her salon. She does great hair but doesn't really give a relaxing experience like I have found at other salons offering water or wine, and just an overall relaxing environment.
