Bryan Foss - Grandview

" Bryan isn’t just a hair stylist, he’s an artiste of hair. Lots of people can cut and style hair. What raises Bryan to a higher level is not just his professionalism and his evident skill, but that he takes the time to get to know his clients and to understand what they want. Then he makes them look their best on their terms. A few years ago, a good friend referred me to Bryan after my hair stylist of many years had ruined my hair by giving me an almost “punk” haircut that might have looked fine on a 20-something like her but looked ridiculous on me. I was skeptical at first, having been jaded by many experiences with stylists who don’t listen and who just do whatever they think is best. But Bryan listened, cared, and, from that first haircut, has delivered nothing short of excellence. As a college professor, I want to feel confident that I look as perfect as I can and that I project the appropriate professional image whenever I enter my classroom or make a presentation. Bryan understands that need. That’s why, even though I now live more than an hour away, I try my best to see Bryan at least once a month during my busy semesters and more often during summers or breaks because, as I’ve told him, I could pay hundreds of dollars an hour for a therapist to help me feel good about myself, or I can see him and he transforms me into just the person I want to be. -Dr. Ivonne Garcia "

" Eight years ago, I got what was maybe the worst haircut in history: uneven, unflattering, unfashionable. I consider it one of my luckier moments in life that I was placed with Bryan when I made a call to the nearest salon - I was so desperate for someone to fix this disaster. Eight years later, and I've never let anyone but Bryan cut or style my hair since. Not only was he absolutely patient and attentive during our first appointment, he turned a bad haircut into a beautiful one, and kept making my hair more and more beautiful as it grew out (and now, more than ever, as it grows more gray!). He listens, he knows what will work and what won't, and he's honest while still being kind. I've sent my mother to him, my husband, and my dearest friends, and he's always done a fantastic job. I actually feel quite proud to be a client of his! I now travel nearly 500 miles to have Bryan cut and color my hair: that's how good he is. -Marisa Cull "
