It seems everyone has a different person for you. When I moved here last year I was told to go to Mandy from Head to Toe in N. Grayton. First cut and first color and highlights were spot on and I have difficult hair to work with. I had a hairdresser for 20 years in New Orleans and was afraid to try someone new. Hope this helps.
And Twist sells Kerastase! I have never been a believer in expensive hair products, but after the first use the Kerastase Chroma changed my hair from feeling like straw to feeling like silky, healthy hair.
