    Review:
    This is really a review for Andrea, the Devachan Trained curly-hair expert that cuts hair at Ross on Saturdays. I don't have much to say about Ross, except their very large selection of harder-to-find hair products. Andrea is amazing! Actually, from before I even met her, when I first called to make an appointment, I was impressed. She is so friendly and eager to help curlygirls make the most of their often-difficult hair. As soon as I came in for my appointment, the first thing she said was: "You have rockin' curls!" I was thinking, "Wow. No one has EVER said that. And I certainly never thought that!" But that was a good sign. Then, we chatted about my hair and she diagnosed it as "lazy curls," which are the same kind she has! I felt very confident trusting my tresses to Andrea. She cut my hair dry, making conversation and checking with me as she moved to each section. I had also brought in a bag of the products I currently use and she gave some suggestions but told me she's not a product pusher, which I really appreciated. After the dry cut, she took me back to cleanse & condition the hair. Even through that step, she was giving me tips and advice. Then she put the styling products in, with detailed instructions for me to (hopefully) be able to replicate it at home. Then she had me sit under this super-hot infrared dryer. It was nice since it was such a cold day, but I imagine in the summer that might get a little too hot. I was a bit concerned at first because the gel she put in my hair was making it a bit crunchy, but amazingly once it was all dry, she "scrunched out the crunch" and what was left were some amazingly luscious curls without a hint of crunch. AH.MAZING. Really, it looked like my hair had been done by a curling iron, even though she just scrunched and let it sit. Afterwards, she took me into the store and showed me the products she used, but still suggested I stick with what I have and see how it works. Without a doubt, the BEST HAIRCUT EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Andrea was so nice, friendly, and so super knowledgeable about curly hair. I HIGHLY recomend her to anyone in the area looking for a great curly cut.

    Review:
    Check it out, I went to this kind of Mama Papa Ulta store in Highland Park called Ross Cosmetic to find the best hairstylist Stacie. She asked me alot of questions and really cared for my hair. She also gave me a Feng Shui Questionaire, it was really cool. She really knows about curly hair needs and how to sculpt the hair beautifully. She was trained at the Devachan in NewYork which I thought was pretty impressive! I totally recommend you check her out and the store is so much fun to explore. Dana
