Prior to the pandemic, my previous stylist, based on my request, dyed my hair to a very platinum blonde color. However, to get to that color, it took all of the health from my hair. During my last visit with her, she recommended cutting it extremely short, which I insisted I did not want. I preferred to take other steps to make it healthy rather than cut it short at that time. We discussed finding a salon that installed extensions and then cutting it (this current salon did not do extensions). Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding, and my hair was cut short.

Shortly following this situation, the pandemic happened, so salons were closed and/or not accepting new clients. Due to this, over several months, my unhealthy hair/color grew out, and to me, my cut just made my hair look even worse. Prior to all of this, I always had good hair. This was no longer the case.

Around August or September 2020, I finally decided to find a hair salon that would install extensions while helping my natural hair regrow its health. This is where Allison comes in. I scheduled a consultation with her, and within a few minutes of meeting her, I knew that she was the one that would help me achieve these goals. Let me say, I knew within a few minutes, but I think it took her a little longer than that to decide that SHE was the one as it clearly was going to be a BIG commitment to accomplish what we needed to accomplish. Luckily, after Allison and I spoke for a short while, and I agreed to follow the instructions that she gave me to get my hair back to a healthy state, i.e., no bleach, water filter, etc., we agreed to take this journey together.

It has been approximately six months, and my natural hair has grown at least six inches, thanks to Allison s conditioning treatments and other tips. However, for the last six months, I ve been wearing the most beautiful, quality extensions that match my colored hair so closely that no one can tell they aren t my real hair. My new hair color, no, it s not platinum, and my extensions look amazing! My natural hair is growing back its health (six inches at least), and I couldn t be happier. The wonderful thing that has happened in such a short time is that my hair has grown enough that I no longer NEED to wear extensions, but I love them so much that I ve chosen to continue wearing them! I m kind of obsessed with how much easier it is to have good hair days with them in!

All thanks to Allison and the Allison McTigue salon!
Not only have I found a hairstylist for life, but I m pleased to say that Allison isn t just my hairstylist; she s my friend.

I highly recommend Allison s salon to anyone that cares about their hair, and trust me; no one cares about their hair more than I do, except Allison! I joke with Allison that my hair is actually her hair, and she is allowing me to grow it on my head. That just shows me how invested Allison is in the care of my hair. Thank you, Allison and Team!
