Review:
Thanks to Amanda, I love my curls again. Or rather, I love my curls now. My hair has never looked as healthy and styled (and so effortlessly, to boot!) as it does since I've been going to her. She's been my stylist for a few years and I've always left the salon very happy with the results. Before Amanda, I used to think all curly hair cuts were created equal; no matter who I went to or what they did, my hair always looked basically the same: just there and generally "blah". My first appointment with Amanda was the first time I experienced an actual STYLED cut, and it was fabulous. I hadn't known a distinguishable style was possible with my hair without going all '80s (I have very curly, thick, frizzy hair.) It's great, I get compliments all the time. I can wear it wild and crazy if I want, but a major thing for me was being able to make it look professional and polished for work, too. Before that was impossible with putting it up, but feels good being able to wear it down now and still look put-together. I have to admit that while I love style, I don't have at-home-hair-styling skills (or the patience) beyond a shower, throwing in some product, and blow drying (air drying in summer, since it takes no time.) What I really love about the style Amanda gives me is that I don't need to do hardly anything for it to work. And I don't even do everything she does in the salon, which isn't so much anyway. I just do the basic steps which are as simple as it gets. So I'm surprised by the earlier review, because if anything I'd think my cut requires MUCH less fuss than what most women do daily. I, personally, need some product for my curls to be, and stay, smooth and have structure. Not a lot, just gel or conditioner. I touch my hair constantly (BAD nervous habit) and I'm learning to stop, thankfully, because that's one of the big Deva Curl no-no's. And it does make such a difference. Amanda is a curl savant, in 3 years I've never been dissatisfied. (And if I'm not mistaken, her hair is curly, just not ringlet-curly. Being a stylist, I'm sure she wears it straight sometimes.) I really hope Amanda isn't planning to leave Cavallaro anytime soon, because I'm afraid of how far I'd travel to keep going to her. I can't go back to "blah"!

Based on all the wonderful reviews I decided to give Amanda a try. Maybe she was having an off day, but it was the worst cut I have every gotten! My hair looked great when I left, but I could never style it the way she did. I told her from the beginning that I am a wash and go girl, but she used multiple products and dried my hair. My mantra is to go to a curly hair girl who wears her hair curly, obviously I should have stuck to that philosophy.

Amanda did a great job on my 3c/4a hair. She helped walk through my care routine and had me read "Curly Girls" while I was under the drier. The cut is really nice, giving me lots more lift and bounce and a nice shape to boot. I definitely recommend her. Price was $70, so it has gone up a bit since some of the earlier reviews.

Review:
This was my first real curly cut ever, and Amanda was wonderful. She has had extensive training in cutting curls, including the Ouidad method, and the curly cut method taught at the Devachan salon in NY by Naturallycurly's own Lorraine Massey. She had the curly bible right there at her station, and I got to flip through it while I was getting dried. Amanda cut my hair completely dry, and had to cut off a bit more length than I would of liked because my ends were scraggly, which was a bummer. But she was very happy to hear that I am a no-poo and 'cones kind of girl. She walked through my whole hair-care routine with me and gave me some great tips. While she herself doesn't have curly hair, she was inspired by her curly sister and has trained with the best. Now I have a great haircut and will definitely go back--even if Amanda is a little bit pricey.

Amanda was great. She knew exactly how to cut curly hair. She did a dry cut and was able to give me a cut that frames my face well and has a lot of life. She knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her.

I went to see Amanda for the first time in January and agree that she is fabulous! She gave me a really good cut and style. I have fine hair with a flat wave and have been disheartened by going to other "curly" hairstylist. But Amanda gave me a really good cut. I'm a fan.

Review:
I have always had trouble finding stylists for my curls, so I was thrilled to finally find Amanda in Columbia. My hair has been several different lengths over the past year, and she always does an amazing job! She also has great styling tips, and the salon sells a whole line of products especially for curls.

I've been to Amanda several times and she has given me a fabulous cut every single time. She definitely knows what she is doing when it comes to very thick wavy and poofy hair like mine! I always get compliments after seeing her. I look great when I leave, great the next day, and it grows out great. She'll cut wet or dry, whichever you prefer.

Review:
I am 24 and recently had the best haircut of my life. Amanda was great, I think this is the first haircut with some actual style. She took the time to ask me what I liked and disliked about past haircuts and she was one of the few stylists who understood why I wanted to leave the salon with damp hair (I hate those places that dry your hair so you leave with a fro!). Amanda is great and $60 for wash/cut/style was a bargain. Also, it was really great how I did not feel obligated to leave the salon with a bunch of hair products - she was not pushy at all. I am so excited about this cut!!

Amanda McMahon at Cavallaro & Co. gave me the most phenomenal haircut I have ever had! I have been fighting wiht my curly hair since birth and I can finally feel good about it. She is great at cutting and styling and she is very reasonably priced ( $60 for wash, cut and style as of 2/06)!!! She has been to New York to take the Curlisto certification course and is very familiar with the Ouidad cutting technique cut also! See her today... you won't be disappointed!
