Lili P
Chai has taught me to love my hair and how to best take care of it to keep it healthy and looking good. Her warmth makes me feel comfortable, and it’s always a joy to get my hair cut and styled with her.
Nala D
I have had Chai work with me for a couple years now and she has been amazing! i started off red and went through an extensive color correction with highlights and now am back to my natural color with little damage to my curls and amazing cuts every time!
Nedra R
I’ve been going to Chai for the past ten years and it’s a been a wonderful experience. I enjoy talking to her while she makes me gray go away and transforms my hair to help me feel like me!
Alejandra F
Chai has been cutting & coloring my hair for almost 20 years—I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my curls!
She’s creative and understands how to work WITH my unique fine texture and movement, not against it (no frizz). Plus she’s a super nice human with tons of integrity!
Smitha K
I have followed Chai to many salons for my curly haircuts for years now! Chai has become a friend in the process. Our discussions have always been so deep and meaningful, and I look forward to it every single time. As for the haircuts, I always leave her chair feeling like a million bucks! She just knows curly hair like no one else does. No one can beat her curly hair prices! Love you Chai!
Sarah B-W
Chai is a dream! Not only is she a delightful human, she is a genius with curls and always seems to know exactly what my unruly locks need . People often stop me on the street to ask where I get my hair done.
Heather W
Chai is an absolute hair goddess. She's successfully cut and colored my very thick, wavy hair numerous ways over the years. I trust her advice and skills and that she is willing to thoroughly explain her thinking process.
Hannah A
Chai completely changed me from being resigned to have sad straggley thin straight hair to finding out I actually had curls and volume (my literal dream hair). This sounds extreme but it’s so true! Prior hair stylist had told me I was losing my hair and essentially made it seem like I just had to resign to thin sad hair. Enter Chai to save the day. She gave me so much hair confidence and actually said a lot of nice things about my hair. I got to feel beautiful again. So very glad I had been recommended to her!
Susanna W
I’ve trusted my baby-fine hair to Chai exclusively for twenty years. She never misses with cut or color, whether I’m going for a classic look or something more trendy. She can do anything!
Ashley L
Chai rocks my curls! She knows how to transform my curls from toddler-awoken-from-a-nap into st.-vincent-on-her-day-off, & for that she should be honored with a key to the city. Chai has the magic wand! ✂️ ✨
Susan W
Chai is not only a really great human but an uber master in her craft artistically. It’s so difficult to find someone so good with wavy hair cuts and color. She is on top of any trend, and I know she always wants me to look and feel great. Chai has also become a really good friend and I hope we grow old together!!
Brina B
Chai has been styling my thick, curly hair for more than 15 years. She knows what does and doesn’t work for curly girls! We’ve taken it shorter, longer, played with colors… and she has always gotten it just right. The very few times I've requested a little tweak, she’s fit me in right away to make sure I’m totally loving my hair.
Pam N
For years I knew my hair could be wavy and easy to manage. It wasn’t until I found Chai that I got my best cut and color. She is a true master. You won’t be disappointed.
Rachel C
Chai has been cutting my hair for over a decade. She is so knowledgeable about curly hair and how best to cut it, offering great suggestions on what to try next if I'm ever uncertain. Hands down the best stylist I've ever had.
Isabella B
I have embraced and cherished my natural curls ever since Chai first cut my hair.(*) My curls now have dimension, volume, and look alive. I get compliments all the time!
Isabella B
Chai gets to know your curls, as each curl pattern is unique! Not only this, she is such a kind person and I can tell she truly takes pride in and cares deeply for her clients.
