I had toyed with the idea of having Eyebrows for many years now but felt anxious about taking the plunge. My daughter recommended Chiara as she uses her too and said she was absolutely outstanding ? Chiara made me feel relaxed and trusting of her with her no pressure relaxed friendly manner. I am so very pleased that I chose her! I’m so very ??happy ? with the result.
Thank you ?? Chiara

It was my first time after 20 years to have my hair done because I usually cut it myself. Callie made sure that I was pampered and that I will have a great time. She was very accommodating. I can't wait to come back to have my hair colored.
