I've been working with Chi for almost 10 years and I love her. I recommended her to my sister and she does her hair color. We both love Chi.

I’m East Asian and always thought my hair was straight but wondered why it always seemed so much frizzier and unmanageable than others. Chi is so lovely and knowledgeable and really transformed my hair in just one sitting, while walking me through the steps and making it simple. I had no idea my hair could look like this. Literally life changing haha. Could not recommend more, especially if you have any sort of texture to your hair.
