I have to say...I'm pretty impressed with Allison. I've read her reviews for how great she is with curly hair, which I have but I don't wear it curly...so wasn't sure how great she'd be. She was super pleasant to talk to and actually listened to me when I said \"please don't cut too much of my hair off as I'm trying to keep it long\". I've never had a hairstylist actually listen to that request. They just go into chop mode and chop off 4 inches of your hair and tell you it still looks long. She's amazing at blowing out curly hair, which a lot of stylists tend to mess up. I rarely think this highly of stylists...I highly recommend giving her a try if you're looking for a new stylist.
