Silvia at Dustin David (Los Gatos, CA)
Hi everyone,
After all the great reviews of Legar Salon in Palo Alto, I was all set to make an appointment there this week for a cut, but due to scheduling issues, I decided to stick a little closer to home and made an appointment with Silvia at Dustin David. I'd gotten my hair cut by her before 3 years ago and loved the results, and as luck would have it, she had an opening today, so I snapped it up
.
I honestly don't know why I waited 3 years to go back to her. I think I naively thought I could go to a "cheaper" place and get the same results as long as I knew what to ask for, but the results were just never the same, and as I tried in vain to grow my hair out and struggled with the blah results, I finally resolved to go to the best
.
Wow, wow, and wow! As with the last time she cut my hair, I am LOVING the results. My hair has so much bounce and movement, and I've got volume at the crown again! I only wish I could recreate what she did this morning (had to wash it tonight and tried to style it myself), but even if my styling skills are not a match for hers, I still got my hair to look pretty decent, thanks to the great cut she gave me.
I already left her a rave review the first time she cut my hair, but thought I'd post a review here too, just to let everyone know she's not a one hit wonder
.
Btw, she put Bumble & Bumble Curl Conscious Calming Curl Creme in my hair and it looked fantastic. I ended up buying it, though I'm hoping I don't get build-up from the trimethicone (it had one other 'cone in it, but it was a PEG 'cone). I do think it makes a difference, because despite my clumsy attempt at trying to recreate what she did, I still managed to get fairly good results. There go my CG habits
