Walter is a wizard, great sense for people and hair and I feel he's probably one of the best. Balayage was lighter in the midlengths than at the tips(?) - I think due to the heat lamp.
It's tricky. Maybe my hair's not what it used to be, maybe the cut isn't working. But, a few times in a row, I've come out looking great and then, within the week, I feel as though I need another cut. It's probably time to move on.
