"I am an Associate Director of Research at a nonprofit foundation for Parkinson's Disease. I have been a client of Mariella's for the past 2 and a half years. I have extremely curly hair and have wanted straight hair my whole life. My parents live in Orange County so I made an appointment with Mariella during one of my visits to see them from my home in Northern California.

"I had my hair straightened with the Yuko System by Mariella for the first time in my life I actually LOVED my hair! I've been having my hair styled and straightened by Mariella ever since despite the fact that I now live in New York. I plan my visits to my parents to coincide with hair appointments with Mariella. In fact, now I have Mariella color and style my hair  as well because I have so much faith in her abilities and can always trust that she will make my hair look fabulous. In addition to being a great hair stylist Mariella is a warm and wonderful woman. My hair appointments feel more like a visit with a friend. People ask me why I don't find a stylist in New York. After all, I live in Manhattan and there are plenty of stylists here. Well, I wouldn't dream of it.

"I will always be grateful to Mariella for giving me hair that I love for the first time in my life."
