I should preface this post by telling you that I am constantly on the lookout for the perfect haircut. Once I think I've found it, the trouble has always been finding the perfect stylist to make my dream a reality.
XO, Kelly
I've lived in NC for three years now, and still I am a serial salon hopper. I miss Ann, my wonderful stylist in Belmont, Massachusetts who gave me my pixie cut ten years ago.
I have searched high and low in North Carolina for someone to replace her, but have always been disappointed. I have had the $18 haircut, the $150 haircut, color in a bottle, foil highlights, all-over color... and like my man Bono, I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
The last color I had left me with blond zebra stripes if my part got two inches out of place. I naturally have dark reddish brown hair, so this did not look good. It also cost me $200 to look like that. Ouch.
Last week, I bought several hair-do mags for inspiration. I dog-ear every cut or color that I like. As I read the salon credits in fine print, I hit the floor! The salon was only 10 miles away! I made the appointment with Luis, the genius stylist behind the glamorous cuts in the magazines.
My appointment was this morning and Luis did not disappoint! He talked with me, looked at my pictures, told me what he wanted to do... and two and a half hours later... voila! I am a new me! I think I can finally make a commitment to Luis. He is my new best friend.
If anyone lives within a day's drive away, please visit Luis Rios at the Douglas Caroll Salon in North Raleigh. And keep an eye out for his new website that yours truly might have the pleasure of designing! ;-)
XO, Kelly

I totally understand about the search for the perfect stylist. I have been living in Hampton Roads for eight years. After salon hopping like you finally 8 months I struck gold. Her name is Mary Ann at Bubbles Salon in Williamsburg.
