I lucked out with Mark Cortez. Over three decades, I have been looking for someone who truly understood me and my hair. I have had highlighted blonde hair most of that time, but never ever felt the person I was going to was going to produce a satisfactory result every single visit. Now I know I have found that person. Mark truly understands hair inside and out - he has to know your habits and your personality - that's all part of the deal.
He asked me lots of questions, offering constructive advice, from the moment I walked in. I could go on for a long time here. But I read reviews and I know what is important to all of us when it comes to our hair - someone you can trust who totally has the experience to know what is right for your own specific hair - color AND cut - and who will make any hair healthier. That is the goal and that is Mark's goal.
He is the best thing that happened to me in 2018 (my appointment was actually on December 31st) so I am very excited for the new year. And I will go back - however often I need to - in order to keep the look I have right this second. Healthy, happy hair! Thank you, Mark!
