Hair Stylist Lead From Jens List member oriahproductions@gmail.com “Sandra at An Appearance salon in Redondo Beach is great. My hair had been through so much, and….(I went from virgin brown to blonde, to red to blonde again). Took a couple years to accomplish that, but when I went to her I was devastated. My hair was gross, multi-colored, faded, basically ruined. Her bright, funny personality coaxed me back into the chair one more time. And I couldn’t believe it. She is a genius. She not only has given me a head of hair to be proud of, but it is silky & getting healthier! I am so happy, every day I thank Sandra. Her cuts are great too, and her rates are decent. 310.874.0416.”
