Mommy Make-Over

Looking for a new look? 
Not sure what to do with your hair? 
In need of a "Mommy Make-Over", like I was?

Before

 

Yes? Well, go see Lauren Seif, a very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable stylist over at Shapes and Styles in the Granite Run Mall like I did!

Lauren Seif 

I recently had the opportunity to meet Lauren for a consultation, cut, highlights and style. She was helpful with the decision about what to do with my hair: Suggesting some subtle highlights to kick off the summer, that wouldn't be too noticeable as they grow out, (Since I'm a busy mom on a budget, without the time or money to get to the salon all that often...)
She answered all my questions and didn't try to sell me every product out there.
The salon is on the small side, but conveniently located right inside of the lower level entrance number 1 between Sears & Ruby Tuesdays. I was very pleased with my experience at Shapes and Style

Give them a call today: (610) 566-6606

Though I was compensated for this post, my opinions, as always, are my own and honest.
