I first found Jill about eight years ago, shortly after relocating to Columbia from out of state. She is amazing. She is a very skilled stylist with both cut and color. Over the last eight years, I've tried short, mid-length and semi-long styles. There is no cut she cannot handle. Jill is also really good with helping you transition from one style to another, and cuts in a way that compliments you every step of the way. I chose to cut bangs last year after not having any for almost a decade. It took some getting used to, but Jill taught me how to style them more easily. I'm now growing them back out, and I have not had a single frustrating hair day as they grow (we all know what a pain growing out bangs can be if you don't have a good cut to start). With respect to color, I can only speak for her highlighting skills. I'm a 42 year old woman who was always naturally blonde. In my early 30's it became more of a washed out dirty blonde (not quite blonde or brown). Jill's highlights put depth/definition back into my hair, and it always looks and feels so natural. Last thing, I have never had a stylist to fix my hair to my satisfaction after the color/cut until Jill. Over the years, I'd developed a routine of immediately going home, showering and fixing my hair all over again. Never with Jill. I can go anywhere after my appointments with her and not worry at all. She's an amazing stylist and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She's Cola/Lex's hidden gem.
