Love your Pedicures!

by jenny r.

Wow! is all I could say. I had the best pedicure done by Jenny. She really took her time and did an awesome job on the flowers she painted on my toes. I love this place! They even offered me a beverage while I was getting the pedicure. The salon is cleaner than all the other salons I've been to for nails. I'm definetly coming back. I need to try their hairstylist as well. Everyone that walks out looks amazing.

Lien was FABULOUS! Everyone need to go to Studio H2O!!

by Stephen P.

All I have to say is about this place is FABULOUS! I must thank Lien for her spectacular service. She really knows what she doing. That day I had a date with my girlfriend and I wanted to look good. I know I needed a trim so one of my friend suggest going to this salon. I really didnt want to go but hey you got to look the best if youre going out. When I walked into the salon, it had a friendly atmosphere and everyone seems like they were enjoying themselves. Lien came up to me and kindly as if I needed a trim and then she sat me down. I just wanted a simple trim but she took what I called style to a whole new meaning. She even gave me great tips on how to style my hair that I never even knew about. When I walk out of the salon and to the theatre, my girlfriend was speechless. She loved my new haircut and I was feeling really good about myself. I have never been in a place like H20 Salon before and I will never go to another salon ever again.

Studio H2o is FABULOUS!!! Especially Lien...

by Diane A.

My thirtieth high school reunion is coming next month and I wanted to look young, fresh and pretty. Lien did an outstanding job on my hair. The staff called to let me know she was running late. Everything was clean and in order. Best of all, my haircut is absolutely fantastic. Lien taught me exactly how to style it including hints I had never heard before. I will definitely return. Thrilled with the results, Lien's expertise and talent, and looking forward to my reunion!

Cassie at Studio H2o

by jenny m.

Cassie's the best stylist around. She's a very listener and make sure you get want you want. I've been to egotistic stylists that do what they think you want. Highly recommend her. You won't be disappointed.

Studio H2o is the worst salon I've every been.

by Hang Chien H.

Do not try this salon. If you are the first time customer, they don't care about you. I went in for a perm and cut. They sent someone who has no idea what he was doing to do my hair. He doesn't know what to do with my hair. Can't decided if he should cut it first then perm or perm first then cut. So he went back and forth between me and other stylist. When they started to perm my hair, I have to remind them to wet my hair first then put on the perm. They are terrible!!! I will never recommend anyone to go to them.

Perfect Experience!

by jditton

I have been visiting this salon for a couple of years now for nails only, but have not had time to get my hair done there (I live in Wyoming). I did have the time last week though, and was surprised when I was able to get an appointment for the date and time I requested with just two days notice. In addition, I called the day before the appointment and was able to have the time moved to earlier in the day. I didn't request a stylist, because I didn't know any of them, but ended up having Thida, who owns the salon along with her husband. I can honestly say this was one of the most pleasant salon experiences that I have had in a very long time. Thida not only listened to what I wanted, but also made some great suggestions with the color that I wanted, and very good suggestions for my cut. She was great to talk with, worked super fast on my long and thick hair, and not only told me what she was doing each step of the way, but asked my permission before just assuming what I'd want. The result I got was a terrific style-three shades of brown perfectly weaved, and a beautiful cut. The price was already great, but I mentioned CitySearch and received $10 off my service. I love my hair and thanks to Salon H2O, I have a great place to get my nails and hair done when I am in town. Thida, thanks again for the great service! Jana Ditton, Pinedale, WY.

Pros: Very flexible, great prices, good at listening to customer!

Cons: None

AMAZING-Stylist, Krista has amazing skills!

by sweetmom1

I have had my hair cut in Las Vegas, LA, and some the finest salons in Utah, never have I seen the skills and prefection that I did when I had Krista at H2O Salon cut my hair . I recently switched to H2O and have brought 4 other people with me after they have seen my results. If your tried of looking like everyone else in Utah and want the most up todate styles then give this salon a try.

Ugly Mall

by Musicphobic

Parking is terrible: enter into the abyss by driving into a maze that looks to be designed by architects that were smoking something. Absolutely impossible to figure out where you are vs where you want to be, which wouldn't be so bad if the mall was a vertical one, but this sucka is two loooong city blocks, so if you choose poorly, you'll be walking a mile to shop. It took me at least 1 hour to finally find the salon which sits all the way at the end of the mall. I checked in and was left sitting in the waiting area for another 1/2 hour while the receptionist sitting at the desk chit chatting away. I left the salon walked another long block to my car and still unable to find my car in this crazy maze. Be sure to get a clue as to where you parked because you'll NEVER find your car again unless you take pains to write down where your car is. This is the most inconvenience experience ever!

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Everything is A Pain Here!

awesome cut and color

by dockay

Tuan is the best in the business. I would highly recommend this talented stylist. He takes the necessary time for each and every one of his customers. He has excellent suggestions for a style that works for you based on what your hair texture, length, and preferences are. I wouldn't go to any one else. I would encourage any one that has had a challenging experience in the past, to talk with Tuan about it and he will personally see that the issue gets resolved.

Pros: personal service

Cons: none

So outdated

by halfway

I came here for my nails, the gal who worked on me doesn't speak a word to me. I sat there 1/1/2 hours with this non-verbal conversationalist. I called in for a Gel Set and I specific asked if they perform Gels nails. The receptionist answered we do! I got there sat through half a day and they gave me acrylics which I am allergic to and when I asked her about my Gel she me quickly puts a gel top coat over my nails and charged me an extra $5. I heard they were good but I didn't know they are so outdated. They don't do anything but acrylics then then they give you this story about the acrylics was gel. Gel doesn't look artificial. I had an allergy reaction the minute I left the salon. I had to soak off my own nails. This place sucks!

Pros: Huge salon

Cons: So Outdated

Great haircut, don't like the salon itself

by prufrockja

I had been going to Landis for a few months and had been getting good haircuts there, though nothing to write home (or Citysearch) about. I loved that Landis was an Aveda salon and thought I'd never pay $40 for a haircut at any salon that wasn't Aveda. I'm a cheapskate and always cringed at the price of a "real" haircut, but the luxury of Aveda products always made it seem worth it, even when the stylists were less than inspired. Then I made an appointment at Landis for a much-needed haircut the night before I was going to be filmed for a TV show. I arrived on time for my appointment and long story short, the front desk staff forgot I was there, cancelled my appointment, sent the stylist home while I was sitting there, and told me I was out of luck. No "please accept our abject apology" or "next haircut's on the house" -- just "oops" and "bye-bye." It was a Saturday evening and I frantically called my brother and asked him to look online for any salons that were still open in SLC at that hour. The only one was Salon H2O, so that's where I ended up, praying I"d get at least a decent haircut.

The only stylist available was the quiet Krista. I explained to her desperately that I was going to be filmed the next day and just needed my fine, straight hair to look good. Soft layers, hopefully something with a little more movement to it, nothing weird. Told her I always let my hair air-dry and hate having to do much with it, and hoped she could come up with something that would work well for me and my lifestyle but also look good on camera. She was meticulous in cutting, not much of a conversationalist, took her time. Like all stylists she insisted on blowdrying it (even though I rarely like my hair blowdried). The cut didn't look spectacular to me when I walked out of the salon, and it didn't have that wonderful Aveda smell, but when I washed and air-dried it later that night it was the best cut I'd ever had. Created a hint of wave, swept back across my forehead perfectly. First haircut I've had where I like my hair almost every day. So there was my dilemma -- what do I want the most? The luxurious smell and look of an Aveda salon or The Perfect Haircut in a less-than-fabulous-looking salon with not-so-great styling products? So far I've settled on The Perfect Haircut. I can always use Aveda at home.

Pros: Walk out with a great haircut

Cons: Decor is chilly and not very inviting, chemical smell

Could Have Been Better!

by Untammed

This could be a great salon depending on who service you. I've heard great reviews by friends about this salon. So I gave it a try. Unfortunately, I was out of luck each time I was there. The first time I was there I was serviced by the small asian lady Wendy who took 20 minutes the most on my pedicure. She doesn't listen to what I was asking her to do for me but instead keep trying to sell me upservices. Finally, I gave up and sat through my 20 minutes .
I thought gave it another try since I do love the asmosphere and surroundings of the salon. My friends seem to love the staff who worked on them. We all came back for a party. I was unlucky to be service by this woman again. She was so rough and quick on me. I asked her to slow down and I guess she didn't understand me. The salon was busy so she was so occupied looking for her next client. I was very upset since all my friends were enjoying their services. Like I said, only expect the best depending on who service you. I seems like this lady was money hungry to me and didn't care too much for me. I don't care to come back for her. But do try and maybe you can enjoy other services. Other staffs seem great. Maybe, it was just my luck! Sigh...

Pros: Spacious Salon

Cons: Staff

A Terrific Salon!!!!

by slcwoman

This is one of the best salons I have been in! The employees were so friendly and very knowledgable. Excellent skills. I just received the best haircut I have ever had in my life. In the past they have had great reviews for hair and not the best for nails. The current owner bought out his partner's half and is now in charge of the nail section as well. They have a new lady who is excellent and is now training the other nail employees. Give it another chance! Wonderful! I can't say enough good things!

Pros: Excellent Service, Very Friendly, Wonderful Cuts

Great Cuts! You will love this place!

by Kathy007

I was a walk-in and went to Thida, and had such a great experience. She is VERY talented and sweet. I have longer hair which is sometimes hard to style but she did a great job. She even styles your hair after your blow-dry! This place is great, and every clients hair looked amazing as they walked out. If you are looking for a place that will listen to you and what you want, this is the place!!! Take a chance and I promise you will not be sorry. I would go to Thida again or Tuan, based on the hair I saw him do while I was there.

Pros: all stylists have good experience

Cool salon!!

My husband and I was shopping and we decided to get pedicures. As we got our pedicures we we're amaze as the stylist's working on the clients hair. Everybody's hair looks awesome. It was cool how they had two people blowdry one girls hair. Seems like a very cool vibe. They had great music and offered free beverages. We really like that. Pedicures was very nice as well.

NAILS=NO GOOD!!!!

by jessdental

I had a toenail halfway come off (I am a runner) and came here to have it fixed. It has gotten good reviews so I thought I would come here instead of the normal (cheaper) place I go... First of all, I couldn't understand the nail technician very well so we spent the first 10 minutes trying to figure out what to do and I had no idea what she was suggesting... Then when she did my toes.. she did acrylic white tips with pink and white so that she could build up the toe that had half of it missing and she was SO ROUGH!!! Two of my toes started bleeding!!! And THEN I told her I wanted shorter nails (since I am a runner) and she would basically only shorten them a little bit... so when I went home I spent about a half an hour filing them down so they didn't claw through my shoes...She was very nice, I just will not EVER come back here again!!!!!!! It cost me $55 in the end before tip... I have never felt like I threw money in the toilet more than I did leaving this place...

Pros: In the Gateway

Cons: Poor Job

Whether your on a budget or a millionaire, go to Thida!

by sara18star

I decided to try Studio H2O based on the reviews on here and I wasn't disappointed. Thida(sp?), has done my hair a couple of times and each time it has come out looking great. The best thing about her is that she is loves what she does and isn't in it for the money. She is always recommending ways to help me not only save money but also to keep my hair looking great. She understands that I'm a poor student and is always happy to help me with my hair needs. She took my hair from dark brown to light blonde without any damage or frying my hair. I love her and will keep going to her forever!

Pros: Great service

Cons: Parking

The best hair salon I have EVER been to!

by hmeagleston

I absolutely love this salon. I have been going to this salon on and off throughout the years. I unfortuantely had to move south and I have tried to 14 salons in saint george and NOTHING can compare to the customer service and the end result you have after a couple hours with Thida (owner), Lynn, or Twan (owner)! I still live in Saint George and I will drive the 4 hours just so these guys can cut and color my hair! They are amazingly talented and know exactly what they are doing. Also don't listen to the reviews below me! I am extremely satisified with any pedicure, manicure, and eye brow wax I have ever recieved at this salon. Trust me you will be more than satisfied! :)

Pros: A++ Customer Service & Highly Trained in every aspect!

I've gone to many other nails salon before but have not found a nail technician who was able to make my nail look so natural and beautiful. I didn't feel as if my nails were acrylics.

Terrible Experience.

by Lorne801

We had a really terrible time with this famous salon. One of my best friend recommended me to take my wife there to get her nails done on ours anniversary day. Ours day was supported to be perfect with happy and fun but it was ruined by the horrible service. I don't no much about nail but i'm sadden when my wife totally unhappy with her nails. "The pedicure was last "supper long"....around 15 mins which usually have to take at least 30 mins at other place" said my wife. The fullset nail looks funky with pupples and at least 4 fingers was uneven. Extremely the old woman whom made my wife's nails done freaked out when my wife told her about that. SHE BLAMED IT ON MY WIFE FINGER'S SHAPE AND DON'T FIX THEM AT ALL!!!!!!!!! After that she required me have to pay first before she polishes for the nails. it's was a lot overpriced if compare with the price they post outside the salon. We tip 5 bucks which deserved for the service she gave us. She was rolling her eyes all over us and left my wife at the UV light for almost haft an hour and didn't even say a word to us until we had to ask for leaving. It was such a shame on a famous salon which is recommended. My wife left and came to her friend's salon on the next day to took her nails off. We want ours money back.

Rude, Mean, Overpriced

by runningute

Avoid at all cost. My mother and sister were in from out of town and and I booked them pedicures and facials as something to do while I was working. They had a terrible time. the staff was rude, the nail tech's were rough, and their work was sub par. I had heard good things about this place but was embarrassed that I sent my family there. This place made them feel as if they were bothered to even have to do their job, and the woman (possibly the owner?) seemed angry to answer a question my mother asked about the product she was using. This was a terrible experience for them and I would not recommend getting your nails done there even if your a horse.

Pros: um...its downtown? second thought. none.

Cons: darn near everything

Salon Lost Its Touch

by BDawing

I've had my nails done here many times before both by Wendy and Rosie. Sometimes I get my pedicure done by Kristen. Each time I went, I couldn't be more than satisfied with my services. However, these wonderful nail technicians are no longer there. I was told the salon is no longer under the same management. Obviously they are not ,because the last two times I came back to my favorite salon, service was awful. This new woman did not speak a word to me nor did she provided me with any service. I asked about the the old employees to strike a comversation with her and she simply rolled her eyes at me. I am sadden to be leaving my favorite salon. But, I guess there was no point of going back when my favorite technicians are no longer there. I would have to go else where to find these people. The old management would never allow me to be treated like this.

Emergency Needed A Fill, Should have just cut off my fingers

by missmoe

Due to scheduling conflicts and craziness, I wasn't able to get in to my regular nail tech. So, I looked around on here and found this place.

The woman who did my nails tut tutted over the thickness of my nails so much, then proceeded to make them the chunky linebackers of acrylic nails they currently are. They looked ok when she finished, when I looked them over, but looking at them now, UGH. There are bubbles and the white from the french tip is smeared into the pink.

Then, she proceeded to try and goad me into getting a pedicure! And to set up another appointment in 2 weeks.

Anyway, it seems this place's strong point is hair, so go elsewhere for your nails. At least if you want pretty, feminine, non-blobby nails.

Pros: Lots of other shops in the Gateway.

Cons: ugly nails

Finally! Found the stylist and the salon that works.

by soylattegrl

After years of searching for the right salon, I decided to try Studio H2o. I had just had a really bad hair experience from another well recommended salon. I called there and talked to the receptionist who was marvelous and helpful. She was able to fit me in on such a short notice. The stylist who cut my hair was Megan. She is so fantastic. She listened to my ideas, my hair texture, my lifestyle and came up with what I must say is the best cut of my life. Megan ended up cutting my daughter's hair as well as my son's. They, too were super pleased.
Megan just relocated here from California, so it is Utah's gain and CA's loss. I just feel so lucky that I found such a great, chic, professional salon.

Pros: chic, friendly, professional and Megan, the stylist.

Cons: couldn't find one if I tried.

Great service, great staff!

by dpham11

This is my first review here on Citysearch and it was my first time at Studio H2o. In summary, it was the best place I've ever had my hair done at! As soon as I went in, they asked if they could take my jacket and hang it up for me. Then, of course, they asked if I'd like something to drink. I wasn't really thirsty so didn't take them up on the offer, but that was extremely courteous and great customer treatment.

It was my first time there so when I made an appointment, they asked me with whom, but I didn't know anybody there. Luckily, they chose a great stylist for me. Her name was Krista. I had my hairstyle for a VERY long time and needed a change. I brought in a photo of a style I wanted to see if it could be done. Krista did what she did and I left very satisfied. They go over what you should do to maintain your look and care for your hair after leaving the salon.

The ambience was very "chic" and modern. It was very clean and professional looking. Again, great service, great staff! If you want a new you, try out Studio H2o. You won't regret it.

Pros: Friendly staff. Caters to your needs and treats you like a real customer.

Cons: None that I could think of at the time

Best Hair appointment i've ever made!!!

by dancefever99

This is my first rating ever, I just thought this place was defdinitly worth the time. I have my hair done by Elena Mitchell, the cute Russian! I have to say that i'm so extremely picky about my hair!!! Any little cut i ask! She's the only person that I entrust my hair to!! My color's come out absolutely amazing! She does such great mixes, my hair always ends up shiny and a beautiful natural color! I highly recammend her. If you're picky she's the person to go to, she's definitly a perfectionist! The overall vibe of the salon is so friendly so when you walk in you feel like a part of the family! It's great! :)

Pros: A connection with the hairstylist, they do what you want!!!

Cons: None!!! Check this place out for sure!

Best Hair Cut

by ts99

I have had a lot of hair cuts from places all over salt lake city. I am very picky about hair so it is hard for me to find one person to stick with. I was a frequent customer at Jagged Edge but the last time I was there I was really let down. So, I had to find a new place to go. I chose Hieu Le ( Senior Stylist ) at Studio H2O and I have never been happier with a hair cut. I can honestly say that Hieu gave me the best hair cut I have EVER been given. Lets just say I am a connoisseur of short hair cuts and I know what is good. Hieu Le is the best I have found so far and I don't plan on switching my hair stylist any time soon. I highly recommend Hieu Le.

Pros: Best Hair Cut ever!

Cons: nothing at all :)

THE BEST SHORT HAIR RAZOR CUT EVER!!!!

by darcijw1

I am SOOOO happy to have found Lien at Studio H20 Salon!!! I have a short hair cut and I have a lot (I mean A LOT) of hair! It is very difficult to find someone who knows how to cut my hair. Most stylists have a huge fear of the razor and always resort to the dreaded "thinning shears" in order to get the job done. Anyone who has short, funky hair knows that you MUST have a good cut and good products in order to keep your hair looking great!

I did a lot of research to find a new stylist. I have lived in SLC for three years and have tried several different options.....granny "beauty shops" to a neighbors basement. I have a very forgiving hairstyle and can usually work through a bad cut, however I just wanted to find someone who KNEW what I wanted and KNEW how to achieve that look! Lien is a master! She knows what she's doing, she listens and pays very close attention to detail. This salon is all about customer service and they want you to leave happy, as they want you to come back as a regular client. It's the little things that mean so much.....last week when I was in, Lien usually foils my hair, however she said that she would rather take the extra time to use a cap for my color as it allows the color to get closer to the roots. I have NEVER had a stylist/colorist take the extra time to do something they don't want to do in order to make ME happy! Also, I love the fact that after my cut, but before my style, Lien washes my hair again, as to get rid of all the little stray hairs so they aren't itchy or falling out onto my shirt for the rest of the day! LOVE THAT!

In the past, I have tried to cut back on my budget for haircuts and color. However, unfortunately I have learned the hard way that you get what you pay for......

Make an appointment with Lien.....I promise you won't be disappointed!!!

Pros: Highly skilled stylists; great hours; friendly atmosphere and focus on customer service....

Cons: A little pricey......

Hair cut by Alissa

by philthy54

Alissa at H20 cut my hair a couple of weeks ago and gave me some tips on styling my hair and what product to use. I'm just a clueless guy when it comes to my hair, but I have really been satisfied with hair cut and new style that Alissa created for me.

I would recommend her to anyone. My wife had Alissa cut and color her hair previously and was so happy with it that she suggested I go see Alissa for my cut.

Lien Van is a gifted, intuitive, talented hair artist!!

by lindaclark

I went to Lien at the last minute...I was having a family photo taken and couldn't get into my regular stylist. I let her style it basically the way she thought best and came out with the best haircut ever! I have had so many compliments on how it "fits" me and how great I look.
My girlfriend saw my hair and wanted hers just like it - however, when she went in Lien recommended something different that would be more complimentary for her. The transformation was amazing! She looks younger, more vibrant and sophisticated....just what she wanted.
I highly recommend Lien she truly is a gifted, intuitive , talented hair artist. She has the ability to really see and create the look that will compliment you best.

Great service, hours, staff...and color correction!

by laurabarlow11

The staff at Studio h20 Salon are great. I highly recommend Lien and/or Tuan for coloring. I've gone to many salons in the Salt Lake City and Park City area, and it took me a year to find a salon that knew what they were doing...none compare to the talent at this salon. The first time I went, it was for a color correction and not only did Lien get the color perfect, she also gave me one of the best hair cuts I've had since living in the metro DC area. I have a very busy schedule, so their location and hours are perfect. Lien even came-in to the salon on her day off for me this past week! These guys rock!

Pros: Location, hours, parking, experienced/talented staff

Luxury Pedicure Was Fabulous!

by AndreaMaster

I live in London and was in the State with my husband for our honeymoon. I came in to get a pedicure and manicure done with Kristen. I rarely get pampered this way in London. But my experience with Studio H2O Salon was fabulous. Kristen asked me to share my experience with others who are in search of a salon incase they are in town. I had a Luxury Pedicure and it was really luxury. I had a massage on my legs and feet. I had a seasalt scrubs, a hot towel wrap and soaked my feet in hot parafin wax. Kristen was very friendly and she knows exactly what to do to take care of us. She was very patient when I had messed up my polish and was willing to re polish it for me. I fell like a star being treated there that day. I would highly recommend this salon and Kristen if you're in town and needed nails service.

Pros: Great Salon

Great Salon! Great Stylists!

by LeadBell55

I've been coming to Alissa Skinner to get my hair done for over three years, I've followed her from two different salons until she went to NYC to assist at Cutler Salon in Manhattan. Luckily for her clients, she came back to Utah to be closer to family, although we all knew she has the ability and talent to be successful in NYC! We're just glad she's back!

Since that time she's started working at Studio H20 Salon which has been a perfect fit for her. The salon is up to date, inviting, friendly, and professional, which is how I would describe Alissa as a stylist. I was also impressed with how diverse the salon is, having stylists from all different countries and backgrounds. The diversity is refreshing and I think plays a role in making Studio H20 Salon unique in the Salt Lake City area. I've also noticed that Studio H20 Salon is well rounded in a way that they are able to offer the most current and edgy styles, to the classic and conservative, as well as everything in between. It seems that some salons can offer one or the other, but struggle to encompass it all. When I pointed that out, Alissa told me that the owners and head stylists, Tuan & Thida Tran, value continuing education highly at the salon, and make it a point to go themselves, and send the other stylists in the salon to NYC, LA, etc. to receive training on the most current techniques and trends in hair. And it definitely shows at Studio H20 Salon! I highly recommend the salon and Alissa!

Pros: Diverse staff and styles! Approachable and open atmosphere!

let alissa cut your hair

by melissacassidy

I love Alissa and her abilities. To me she's like an artist. When she cuts hair it is like she sculpting. I would trust her with my hair anyday (cut, style, color, whatever). She's the best and has a up-to-date style.

Wow is all that can be said

by athletictouch

I've been traveling from Las Vegas to have Alissa cut my hair for the past 1 and a half. I wont let anyone else touch it. Her attention to detail is amazing. I've never had someone that would focus and feels out how my hair should be done. She has amazing talent of knowing what would cut and color would look great on someone. She does a fantastic job and I trust her completely. Its gotten to the point that I don't say anything to her, she just does her thing and it turn out AMAZING!! Everyone is always asking me where I got my hair done. So if you want someone that will give you the time your deserve go to Alissa you wont be disappointed I promise. Thanks Skinner you Rock!!!

Pros: great experience everytime I go

Alissa is brilliant.

by bettyeverything

My husband and I have both had our hair cut by Alissa for over a year and neither of us has ever been disappointed. She has done wonders with my thick, curly hair by scissor and color. Alissa is a highly skilled stylist/colorist who listens to feedback and really just wants to make her clients look great! Ms. Skinner also cuts my sister's hair and she says (every time) that she has just gotten the best haircut of her life- who can argue with that?

Alissa is Great!

by LRW5

I go out of my way to have Alissa cut my hair - driving from out of town to have her do it. She does a fantastic job and I trust her completely. Every time she cuts my hair I have numerous people ask who did it and the chain goes on - each time someone see's my sister's hair (done by Alissa) they ask her as well. She's got natural talent and is great at doing just what you want in a way that fits you individually. She's great!
