(Tl;dr at bottom) This is my first time experiencing The Ginger Group and I had the pleasure of having Andrea take care of me and my asian hair. The place itself when I entered looked very cozy, comfortable and modern. When Andrea came in to start my appointment, she was very thorough during her consultation, asked questions I never thought of (like how much time do you want to spend on your hair styling wise or care wise), and gave great suggestions that were aligned to what I wanted. Just from the consultation, her 20 years of experience as a hair stylist and understanding of asian hair really shone. After the consultation, she washed my hair with a shampoo, conditioner and Moroccan Oil. Her scalp massage felt so relaxing, if my appointment wasn’t in the morning I might have dozed off. She showed me all the products she used as well as their benefits, so she’s also a great salesperson (almost got me to buy it all). During the cutting of my hair, she started it off wet to get rid of the length and then blow dried my hair to cut it dry. She communicated very well during the cutting and we also had a great conversation about life haha. She was thorough and checked often to ensure the length and shape of my hair was all coming together. I also enjoyed watching her techniques and comparing it to the other hair stylists I have experienced. At the end, she protected my hair with some products and was able to curl my hair so well without an excessive amount of hairspray that about 2 hours after my appointment, my hair has yet to show signs of straightening itself and has retained the shape of the curls (for now). At the end, we ended it off right on the dot of an hour long appointment. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Andrea and I highly recommend her for asian hair. Of course I saw asian stylists in the salon who also showcase a great understanding of asian hair (including men’s), so I would check out their stylists on their website before calling to book an appointment.
Tl;dr Andrea is a great stylist for asian hair, and I wanted to fall asleep during the hair wash cuz her scalp massage was very relaxing.
