Cecilia Guzman did great! I had a full color change and for that, my hair had to be bleached since I had dark brown color almost black. I wanted light brown and I'm always worry about my curly hair..Cecilia works great for curly hair and she made sure my curls wouldn't be damaged through this process. Thank you Avalon and the teachers for being there through supporting Cecilia with the process :)
