I received the following email from Shiobhan Rogers, the 1st runner-up in the contest for the hair makeover from Celebrity Hairstylist Derek J.

Hello Michelle,

Let me first start off by saying thank you to you for making this possible. I just thought not only would I attach a pic but my thoughts on this experience.

Derek J was amazing. Not just in his styling techniques and listening to what I wanted, but in how he conduct his self as a stylist, professional, and business owner. The way he interacts with his clients and staff is amazing.

He has to be one of the most humble celebrity stylist I have ever had the pleasure to meet. I felt as though I was getting first class treatment not only to mention I got to see a few celebrities that I admire. The moment I got out the chair I felt beautiful. He transformed me into the women I knew was in me, all with styling my NATURAL hair.

I am looking forward to going back and letting him tame this hair. Again, thank you for this wonderful opportunity it has truly given me the boost I was looking for.

Bonus: running into you:-)

S. Rogers
