Gentle is a hairstylist at Unique Creations Salon and Spa in Chicago. Her chair is where the looks people ask for by name get done: a silk press with real swing, quick weaves and bobs, half up half down, ponytails, lace wig installs, sew-ins, bang and swoop styling, and kids' styles.

She builds a look to the head and the hair in front of her rather than to a picture, and she will tell you honestly what will hold on your hair and what will not. She keeps her own booking calendar, so the Book with Gentle button goes straight to her schedule — pick the style you want and the day and time that suit you.
