Irissa Recio gave me the BEST haircut of my life. I didn’t know if a student would be able to give me a good shag mullet, “wolf cut”, but Irissa DELIVERED. I knew I was going to need someone who was willing to have fun and take a chance, as this haircut can get botched because it’s more of an unusual/advanced cut. Irissa made it such a fun and enjoyable experience. She helped me get out of my comfort zone and I am loving the haircut more and more everyday. Thank you Irissa for giving me a haircut that has given me so much confidence and has helped make my personal style so much more defined and eccentric. I will be coming back to you to maintain my cut, as I really do trust your process and ability as a hairdresser. If anyone is looking for a haircut that is stylish and different and will make you feel like the “cool girl/it girl”, hit Irissa up at Milan for an experience you won’t regret. The awesome thing to consider is that she will ONLY get BETTER as time goes on, and wow, that is impressive.
