I have found my new hair home and couldn’t be happier!

I was devastated when my stylist left town. I wasn’t sure what to do. It had taken me years to trust someone with my hair. And I had gotten to the point where I could come in and she knew the cut and knew she that I loved to play with color. I wondered if that could ever happen again.

Thanks to Yelper Kim for the recommendation of Chivahn!

I was a little shy having to call, especially after checking out her work online. She truly is talented and had the pictures to prove it. Why would she ever want to touch the multi colored rat nest that was growing on my head? But she put my fears at ease and was totally approachable! She was happy to take me and wonderful to meet.

I had never known there was a salon on Eastlake. Seriously. I just zoom through there on my way to downtown or my way to the university. I wonder what else I’ve been missing? I nabbed rock star parking in front after two loops around the block.

The salon is cozy and personal. No, not like your Mom’s bathroom. More like being in some hip, cool chick’s art loft. Lots of yummy visuals and a sense of style that put me at ease. It didn’t feel sterile like some salons can be. And it didn’t feel dingy either.

Chivahn is amazing. I told her my story and showed her my sad excuse for hair and asked her to create something pretty. She did just that. She gave me the most versatile cut I’ve ever had. I have long, really thick, curly hair and she gave me a great cut that took weight off, let me part it wherever I want and I could straighten it or wave it and it still looks amazing! Her coloring skills are impeccable. I love color. Especially red. She gave me bright, bold red and hints of pink and orange. I absolutely love it!

To top it off, Chivahn is just an amazing and interesting human being. Having the pleasure to converse with her for a few hours made my day.

I’ve never had hair before where I’m happy to look at it every day.

Thank you, thank you , thank you, thank you, thank you!
