What People Are Saying...

I love your unique technique of doing foils as opposed to doing all over color, Lucinda. When I first came to you, I was sick of my all over color that was never the actual color I wanted. I always felt like my hair was dull and boring. But you changed all that! I've never had so many compliments on my hair. I love the way your foil technique gives my hair depth and the look I’ve wanted for years! No one knows color like you. You are very talented and gifted. Thank for making me feel beautiful every day!!! --Sue H., Client, Zionsville, Indiana
