I came to Azana as a walk-in customer. About five years ago, I was having my regular maintenance highlights applied by my normal salon. It’s a high end, expensive salon so I always assumed I’d get the best results from going there. To make a long story short, my hair was over processed, fried and ruined. From that day on, I never had another thing done to my hair in fear of something like that happening again. I grew it all out, and because I’m not getting any younger, I star...ted having some gray hairs growing. I decided it was time to pray to the hair gods and try again. Azana scheduled me with Paula and said she is their senior most stylist and would probably be able to handle and help my situation best. She took all the time I needed to explain what all happened, what my fears were and what I would love to see done to my hair. Since it’s been a good five years, I didn’t want to go too extreme to start out, so I decided I wanted to try the Balayage technique on my hair. All I can really say is that the hair gods were listening, and so was Paula. I absolutely love how the color turned out, as well as my new haircut, because I also went a little shorter than normal in a long time. I already have my next appointment scheduled, and I’m extremely excited to go a little bit further each appointment down the road. My next challenge is going to be bangs. I had bangs all my life, until my old stylist fried them almost right off my head! So those, too, grew for five years. Paula cut subtle framing layers around my face to start, and as I feel more comfortable with the sensation of hair laying on my face again, I think I’m going to add a little layer of bangs as we go along. And I can’t wait to keep adding different depths of color using the Balayage technique that Paula seems to have mastered! So to Paula, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for listening to me. I actually feel pretty again. I highly recommend anyone who wants or needs a change, or even regular routine maintenance... schedule an appointment at Azana. I was lucky to be blindly paired with Paula, but I also watched the other stylists during my visit. Everyone did amazing work from what I witnessed! See More Read Less
