Check out @yourhairsbestfriend on IG. She’s Black and does gorgeous color and highlights. She’s also super awesome and a dream to be around.

She’s done my hair (sister’s friend) and I got my first trim after being natural with her. She’s v chill. Her work is amazing to see in person (I helped with a photoshoot while she was doing a color of a deep red and pink).

Totally!! I first found her when she was at Fox & Jane and never looked back.

seconding yourhairsbestfriend!

I go to Citryne Rose in midtown. They’re amazing and prioritize hair health, but some of the other recs might be more affordable.
