I would highly recommend Riku. He is very professional and informational. During consultation, I shared my concerns and my hair routine. He acknowledged my concerns and gave me options. He was also very patient with me as I didn't realize that there were different types of highlights so he showed example photos to help me decide. Throughout the the process he walked me through what he was doing. What I appreciated the most was that he took the time to educate me on how I could style my hair since that was one of my reasons for not going short. I'm glad I went with his suggestion and I am so pleased with my new hairstyle. I look forward to my next appointment for treatment and highlights.
