I have been searching for a colorist but always hesitant to try someone new. After much research, I decided to go with Mario because of all the great reviews. I showed Mario a picture of what I wanted for both color and cut. I chi-ironed my hair before I came in so he knew I wanted it smooth. We discussed what would be best for my hair. I wanted a multi-tone color. I already had old color (I did myself) on it that was half way grown out. Mario suggested we do a partial (instead of a full) so we could see how color would take on new hair. He said he would try to blend new with old as best as possible but there was a chance you could see difference. I knew this going in but trusted in him. He had a challenge before him (new client, never worked on my hair, old color, curly hair, brunette). Mario was a great listener and had a wonderful way to make suggestions that showed his expertise without being pushy. He understood exactly what I wanted and knew what I needed for my hair. \r
When he was finished, it was the best color job I had! You could not tell where the old color was with new color. He blended it perfectly along with the right amount of strands (his foils were perfectly neat!) and it came out beautifully. My hair was not dried or fried and he went up four shades without bleach! The wonderful multi-tone color of light and dark without it being chunky! I was thrilled!\r
Mario blow-dried my hair smooth (he needed no CHI or flat iron) and I have curly hair. A true mark of a professional if stylist can blow-dry hair straight with brush and blow-dryer! I will definitely go back and already have my next appointment booked. If you are nervous about finding a new colorist or stylist, go with Mario. I've waited for 5 years to find someone and I am very happy with the amazing results! You will NOT be disappointed. He is awesome!!!!\r
Pros: Great stylist, Great parking,
