So I LOVE my guy at Vidal but I HATE that it's departmentalized (cut & color is split btwn stylists), so I have been on a mission to find one stylist that does it all. So like everyone else I stumbled upon the reviews of The Root and went to get a consultation last month and Roxy was who I met with. It's a stressful decision  to A) cheat on your current stylist and B) trust a new one, but Roxy made me feel extremely comfortable with her skills and ideas that I was confident in booking an appointment. ...\n\nYesterday was the appointment.. I had my mind set on the cut and color I had wanted when I arrived but it all changed once i flipped through one of their hair magazines. I have dark hair and I was dead set on doing something funky in the \"red\" realm and she seemed confident I could pull it off, so we went with it. As for the cut, my hair was almost shoulder length and I was going to go back to almost pixie short but decided that was a change I couldn't handle all at once, so we took a lot off, back up to just above the chin. I drank two glasses of wine during the 4 hour process and was pleased when it was over but didnt really absorb or judge the change until this morning....\n\nthe verdict...I woke up and almost didn't recognize myself. The color change is so drastic (to me) It wasnt even close to the color I had picked out which was disappointing. I had wanted a deep chocolate with dark red highlights and this was dark chocolate with a LOT of caramel.\n\n As for the cut, it's a great cut I cant complain. Maybe not quite as angled and edgy as Im accustomed but I came into work and received compliments left and right from people I dont even know, if that tells you anything. \n\nSummary: If you're looking for a 20 something Emo razored rockstar look I would probably go elsewhere but if you're looking to rock a do that's sexy, feminine, classy and stylish you've found you're home.
