5 /5 Cate Fisher: Okay. Maryah is rad. I had such a great time coming in here last week. Ive been wanting to cut all of my hair off again for a really long time. But Chico is tricky – I looked up numerous stylists, many who clearly do great work, but their portfolios all seem to be surrounding balayage/color melts/etc. and long hair styles & updos (that could just be a result of the desires of the community, too, its really hard to tell). Obviously short haircuts can be a real tricky leap of faith, but I also have this curly hair with a mind of its own, so... I need to *know* Ive got someone who knows how to sweet-talk it.
Then I found Maryah at Envee. She rocked it.
I will say at first she was maybe slightly reserved, but people – you gotta realize the sheer span and intensity of attitudes from clients that a stylist is confronted with on a daily basis (side note: mechanics & anyone in the service industry knows all about this too). It can cause the very best of us to learn caution with new clients or customers.
Doesnt matter. After a couple minutes, we were chattin away. Shes a super smart, interesting lady, and *skilled*. Its abundantly clear shes worked hard in this business for a long time. And then the next thing I knew, the cut was done. And it was freakin effin fabulous.
Im going back to her in a couple weeks to get a touch up before one of my best gals gets married in Southern California. Gotta show up on point with those cats. Pinkies out.
And a bonus: Love the open, spacious floor plan/layout of the salon, nice high ceilings, and the clean, tasteful aesthetics throughout; lovely professional space.
Pardon the long story, but its good to be stoked. Thank you very much again, Maryah. So glad my search is finally over.
