Meet her client, Zoey, who came into the salon to have her dreads removed for a job interview for an internship.

"She was hoping to at least have 3 inches of hair, and was praying she didn't have to shave it," Elliott says. "It took us 4 hours and 6 different stylists, but we removed them all and left her with twice the length she was hoping for. Before she left, she told us 'this was the best salon experience she's ever had.' We sure do love our clients!"
