5 /5 Kacey C: I have been seeing Chelsea for a while now and she has been on my hair journey from so many different colors: warm blonde, purple, lavender, icy blonde, and now a beautiful copper. When I first came to Chelsea, I had come with hair that had been botched in terms of performance on a fashion color. I grew up in salons and having my hair done, so coming to Austin I was shocked to find that so many places provided sub-par services and charged out the wazoo for them. And, when complaining, would not fix the issue. To say I came to Chelsea scared, a bit skeptical, and nervous is an understatement.
To say I left the appointment with a re-found confidence, happiness, and a pep in my step is also an understatement!
Chelsea is wonderful and such a master when it comes to hair. She is blunt (which I appreciate) and honest about what is required on the hair journey. Whenever I have had questions, she has been so patient to answer them! When I have shown her pictures of ideas I have, she has delivered and then some. Her prices are 100% absolutely fair, especially considering the quality you earn from it (and how other places will charge similar if not more for botched hair). You pay for: gorgeous hair, a cut which suits your natural texture, highlights with respect to the health and vitality of the hair, her master color knowledge, and her excellent supplies (I love that she showed me Formula 18! I am a convert~!).
What I also love about Chelsea is her honesty--when I have asked her for certain ideas or styles, she is transparent in whether or not she can do so AND she will recommend someone who can. So, not only is she a master, but she is honest and ready to uplift the other hair artists around her.
My hair journey has been such an uplifting one with her. Never before did I take the leap of faith to do fashion colors like Lavender. But with her I took that leap and am so happy I did. She truly knows how to make hair beautiful and dimensional. AND, when she does fashion colors, you actually look as though you were born with that color. It might seem weird to say you can look like you *naturally* have lavender hair but let Chelsea show you it can be a reality!
All this to say, outside of feeling transformed, Chelsea is excellent company. Every appointment flies by and I always look forward to seeing her. I am honored to say she isnt just a wonderful stylist in my life but also a very treasured friend.
I am so in love with her work that, since moving out of Austin, I told her I would make the drive ANY time to come and get my hair done by her. Shoot, I dont even care if it is Dallas or even further. If she was in another state I would fly, drive, do whatever I needed to receive her upstanding service!
