Looking for a patient and talented hair stylist for important cut

I don't have one, but Carolyn always has great short hair and I think really likes her stylist

Kane Bowen is great! kanebowenhair.com

Charlotte at Gene Juarez in U Village is the best. She started cutting my daughters' hair when they were in elementary school and saw them through all sorts of styles - short, asymmetrical, one side shaved, highlights and brilliant shades of red and purple. She is sweet and patient and amazing. She also cuts my hair, but I'm way less adventurous than my daughters (who are now 20 and 17, and don't remember any other hair stylist from their lives).

Anne McGowan at Coupe Rokei. Always patient and ready to listen, even after 30 years of cutting my hair.
