What People Are Saying
“
Robert has been cutting my hair for several years and I am so happy with the results - and even happier about the experience. He is highly skilled, particularly with curly and wavy hair. My hair has a mind of its own and goes everywhere at once. Robert enhances that natural vitality rather than trying to "tame it into submission" - so instead of fighting my hair I can celebrate it. I get so many compliments on my hair and the youthful "bounce" it gives me. Additionally, he is the nicest, sweetest and most approachable stylist I have ever been to. He truly listens to my concerns so I feel I get the cut I want and the experience is collaborative - and fun. I highly recommend Robert -- give him a try, you will not regret it.
