on Citysearch Jun 19, 2010Everyone at Arabella is amazing but my personal favorite is Miss Amanda Williams. I'm picky and my hair is all kinds of not cooperative. I tell her how I would like to look and she figures out how to make that happen. She... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 03, 2010I tend to be sort of a spazz about my hair (especially for a guy). Steven never really requires me to explain much how I want my hair done. I explain in a few words, and without haste, he jumps in, and does his thing.... (more)
