TESTIMONIALS
“It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Alison Binford as a Hairstylist and professional. Alison and I have worked together on many occasions. I have hired her to work on film and television sets, spanning the years since 2014. I really enjoyed all the times I’ve worked with Alison, and came to really know her as a talented, valuable, and essential part of my hair team. She is hard working, kind, skilled and a hairstylist that I could count on over and over again. Her knowledge of hair cutting and expertise in how hair moves, grows, texture and knowledge of past and current styles was a huge assist to the hair teams. She brought her skill set and created beautiful work and was able to achieve what was needed for that particular esthetic. Along with her amazing talent, Alison was a joy to work with. She brought humor and a positive attitude to work, sometimes in really hard conditions, difficult actors/ clients and long hours. It was a combo of who she is that I trusted her and hired her over and over again. I soon became a personal hair client of Alison’s and trusted her with my own bleach highlights and changing hair cuts. Without a question, I wholeheartedly recommend Alison to join your team. As a dedicated, talented and knowledgeable stylist and an all-around lovely person, I know that she will be a an asset to your team.”
