Stephanie Lee, at Sage on Whitney is a hair magician. She gave me exactly what I wanted and more.

Katie Mcgovern

February 12, 2023

This was my first time going to Salon Aura and meeting Stephanie - I learned that Stephanie is a magician. Between postpartum hair loss and no time to really keep up with cuts and color, my hair was -something else.
I was there for a change - new base color, balayage, cut. When Stephanie was done, she showed me pictures of the back of my head and I didn't believe it was me - I assumed she googled 'fantastic hair' and showed me the picture that came up.
When I got home, for the first time ever my husband exclaimed "I can actually tell something is different!!! It looks great!!" (This is a man that couldn't tell when I chopped off 12 inches a year ago).

Thank you Stephanie! You have a new client!...more
