I just moved back to Montpelier after 20 years in NY and I had no hopes of finding a stylist who would understand my messy hair. I went to Tess based on reviews posted on this site, and I'm soooooo glad I did!
I had no idea what I wanted, I just knew that my hair was a mess. Tess took over and not only gave me a wonderful cut, but she spent so much time explaining what she was doing, and showing me how to do it myself.
I am definitely not going anywhere else!

I recently moved to Montpelier and was dreading finding a stylist who can cut curly hair. Tess really does understand curly hair. Even though I didn't have a good concept of what I wanted myself, I left with a flattering cut.

If you find yourself in this area and your curls are dragging, sagging, or (God forbid) WAVING, treat yourself to a perm and cut with Tess at Signature Styles. Tess REALLY GETS curls! I favor a long, loose, ringlety look that layers gently down to my shoulders. Invariably people envy me for my naturally, curly hair. (Although one woman, more astute because she was desperate, and had just moved up from D.C., took one look at me in the library and demanded: "WHO does your hair? Because she's GOT to do mine!") And she did.
I've been going to Tess for years, and I guess if she left the area I'd have to shave my head. That's how spoiled I am.

I moved back to Vermont after 12 yrs in December from the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I was worried about finding a good curly hair stylist in Vermont. But thanks to this website I found Tess. I went through sylist after stylist in the DFW area and never found anyone who understood or could properly cut my hair. Since Tess has been doing my hair I have had nothing but the best cuts and am happier than I have been in years with my hair. Hurray!
Just want to thank the customer from D.C. who wrote the testimonial on Tess @ Signature Styles. I have just moved to the area as well, and finding a new stylist is difficult, especially for clients with naturally curly hair. Tess understood exactly what I wanted, and gave me a great cut! Not only have I discovered a fantastic new stylist, she also carries my favorite product line designed for curly hair--Deva Curl! Thanks to this fabulous website for the referral! It has made the transition so easy! Now, can you help me find a new dentist....?

Tess is incredible! I have been to 4 different salons in the Washington, D.C. area and have gotten the same awful haircut at every single one. For some reason, none of those stylists would listen to me and insisted on leaving the top of my hair chin length, basically giving me a bob. I would end up with a curly bush that just made my face look even fatter than it is. And no matter how much I said that I wanted to keep my length, my hair kept getting shorter and shorter.
Tess sat down with me before washing my hair, listened to what I wanted, and immediately saw the problem. I have a small forehead and not much of a neck either, so she could see that I needed shorter hair on top with a lot more layering to take out the bulk on the sides. Within 45 minutes, I had a beautiful haircut that I can already tell will grow out well. I was a bit apprehensive about moving to a small town from a large metro area, thinking it would be hard to find a hairdresser. Instead, I found gold! I would recommend Tess to anyone with curly hair.
