My hair had become orange from the chemical straightening I've had done and... just this past March '09, I trusted a stylist from NE Philly, who normally straightens my hair and let her put some color in it that she said would liven it up.. it turned out GREEN. My hair needed help badly.

I have not had my hair professionally cut for over 15 years (I cut it myself), and I have never had my hair colored. I desperately wanted to cover my gray hair, but I was afraid to step into a salon.

He has an incredible eye, and understands hair color like no one I've ever encountered. He also cuts hair beautifully and the test of a good cutter is the way in which hair grows back in. My hair looks great right up to the time for touch up and trim.

Read More On Citysearch Christina42 8/12/2008 - Actually, not the best highlights I've had- too brownish
I'm a big proponent of highlights that bring out the facial features, especially the eyes. That requires (when it comes to blonde highlights) playing around with different shades/tones of the light colors, such as that adding the lightest color to the front of the face is what draws attention to the eyes. I'm not an expert and I know that.
Bruce is suppose to be the expert and he ignored (maybe...
