I walked into Gene Juarez in tears about two weeks before my wedding. My hair was a bleached, damaged, unmanageable mess and I was close to just whacking it all off two weeks before the finish line. They booked me an appointment ASAP, and soothed me with assurances that everything was going to be alright. The staff was extremely kind and professional, and the service even better. I had my hair cut about a week before the wedding. She removed all of the damaged ends without drastically changing the shape or length, then gave me the perfect cut, making it look as though my hair had purpose again. Then I had my hair colored. She touched up the roots of my hair, which were pretty overgrown, and redid the entire color, giving me the honey-blonde I always wanted. I was also given expert advice as to how to heal my damaged hair. I had a glaze treatment done that left my hair soft, manageable and shiny. The up-do I received the day-of was exactly how I dreamed- curly and elegant. She even incorporated the special hair pins I had bought and my large barrette. The makeup I had done there the day-of was flawless, timeless, and lasted all night! Gene Juarez saved my hair and my wedding day! Three months later to the day and my hair is softer and healthier than ever before, without having to cut it all off and start over.
