If you’re looking for someone who’s amazing with kids, I highly recommend Liv! She does an incredible job with my 3-year-old son’s hair. She’s patient... and knows exactly how to make him feel comfortable during every appointment. His hair always comes out looking clean, neat, and professionally styled. It’s not easy finding someone who’s on point with all types of hair; especially with kids. But Liv is the real deal.

Liv is PHENOMENAL! She works quickly and hard-core! Since living in Des Moines since 2024, she is the 4th "natural hair technician" we have worked wit...h. I throw quotes because none of the others we dealt with were Liv; super slow, late starting, unhealthy recommendations for my kiddos hair, etc. LIV HAS BEEN THE OPPOSITE OF ALL! Working with her, my kids hair is both healthy and beautiful! BOOK WOTH LIV! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!💜💜💜

She did better than the picture I showed. I am more than happy with how my daughter’s hair came out. Definitely will be coming back.

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. I absolutely loved how my hair came out—clean parts, neat braids, and the style is giving EVERY...THING. Definitely my first visit, but not my last. I’m already planning my next appointment!
