Amy at Richelle's could not have impressed me more.
I have had many professional haircuts all over, from here to NY to San Francisco, and have paid over $120 for one of them (no color)! Never have I been so well listened to, while at the same time so pleasantly surprised.
Amy honored my request to go from long to short, and to try some color that I could afford. The colors she picked were so gorgeous and subtle that, while many have remarked on the adorable piece-y curly pixie-but-way-better cut, very few have noticed the color - but many have told me how healthy I look, how great my skin looks, etc!
Amy is a craftsman. She took great care in finding the intersection between reality (the hair I have, how I look) and what I wanted. The result is a cut that is cute, easy, sexy, and that I can already tell will grow out really, really well.
If you care enough to pay for a good haircut, you are still most likely wasting your money if you're not going to Amy.
