I'm a student visiting from Illinois. Having spent a whole winter doing research. I decided to atleast have a nice gorgeous California haircut before I leave. Since I originally came from Taiwan, I am VERY skeptical of going to American salon. So I planned on going to Moga salon by Mitsuwa. Unfortunately it's TOTALLY booked! Since it's my last day in SD, I decided to just go with whatever. After reading the other's review about Chris I decided to make an appointment and just go with it. When I first arrived I was kind of worried, Chris doesn't look like the hip/chic looking hairstylist I'm used to in Asian salon. She.. just looks like a mom.. someone probably my mom will go to in a family salon shop. But her personality totally won me over the next second. Very welcoming, very nice an warm. She gave me a really nice wash, then proceed to cutting my hair. I told her I have naturally curly hair that I really hope to have a cut which it wouldn't be so fuzzy and untamable all the time. I also told her I always go back to Taiwan each year to get the Japanese staightening for the past I guess 8 or 9 years now. But since I couldn't make it back this year, I'll just settle for a cut. She then started cutting..A LOT..I was worried again.. After she's done cutting I was so sure I might cry, it was too short I think. Then she started styling/drying it. Next thing I know... I don't even recognize myself! Can't believe how much a hairstyle can change you! it's soooo cute!!! I was VERY VERY PLEASED. After landing in Chicago, My boyfreind and bestfriend picked me up and they BOTH were shocked at how someone who never would cut her hair that short afraid the natural curls will go wild actually can have such a cute hair cut! So I stayed in Chicago for the next day took lots of pictures thinking that after shampooing it that night, all the nice style will be ruin and I won't know how to dry it like what Chris did. BUT!! IT STILL DID!! that's how good it is!! highly recommended!
