Hi A.,
Again, welcome to the rain forest!
I highly recommend Massuad (pronounced Massude) He works off of highway 99 just right off I-5 at Shears Ahead. I've been going to him since I was 16 and I am now almost 29. (Longest relationship I've had with a guy:)) He's a very good colorist and stylist and really knows what in style and how to shape your hair to your face. I don't trust anyone else (even myself) to mess with my hair.
His prices are very reasonable compared to other high end salons. He's not afraid to tell you what he thinks either, which is good if your unsure.
I hope you find someone that you like, my best piece of advice is try different people, I know it's hard to find the right person, but I know you will find him/her!
