BREE MCLAIN
STYLIST

Location - Stoughton & Sun Prairie I have over 26 years of experience with 6 of those years spent specializing in hair color. With hair color being my mastered skill and my passion in creating short women's cuts. I believe every women can look beautiful and sexy in short hair. I design my cuts and colors to accentuate your best features and address your specific needs. I believe if you give me the freedom, I can give you the look that brings out your best. I also LOVE cutting natural curly hair. I believe that every curl has it's own personality, therefore each needs to be treated differently. Curly hair never lays straight and even, so why do so many cut it that way by wetting it down and combing it. I feel natural curl should be cut in it's natural state. I give a free hand dry cut on all curly clients which allows me to carve out the best shape in each of your curls. Strengths - Short women's cuts, color, and natural curl.
