- Stylist:
- Traci
Dec 25, 2011 - Traci saved me from hair trauma. I had recently had a hair trauma (sure many of you can relate...) -- I saw a stylist I had trusted over the past two years (in a rural area where I live), supposedly trained in the Deva cut, but somehow she absolutely butchered my hair. Did all kinds of things wrong, ending me up with a big "step" in the front, ridiculous-looking "bangs", lots of "fish hooks", a big fuzz ball that was out of control... Before I went in, my hair was pretty smooth and non-frizzy and beautiful although a bit tangly -- I told her I just wanted a touch-up with minimal length taken off, and the result was a disaster that put me in tears for a week. My hair was completely unmanageable, both down and pulled back. It looked like a butcher job either way. I thought the only choices were to wear headscarves for months while it grew out, or to go a lot shorter to make it look somewhat civilized again. Then I realized I was visiting family in Seattle and could find someone from this site, so I did! Spex reviews looked wonderful so I got an appointment last-minute with Traci (thank GOD you were available that weekend). She immediately recognized everything that had gone wrong with the disaster cut and somehow, miraculously, was able to do a repair/recovery job that left me actually liking my hair again by the end of it. I have no idea how she managed to de-activate the catastrophe without barely taking any more length off but she managed to do so. It really seemed like a miracle. Plus her manner and personality lend themselves well to dealing with hair trauma victims. She also turned me on to some easy tips to make my hair more manageable. Thank you so much Traci!! I hope to be back some day! :D
