hi- i'm lily bettina zaga and my business is...

a little about me...
back in the mid 80s, upon hearing we lived near the only vidal sassoon in the country, i spontaneously decided to undergo training to attend the school to become a hairstylist. as soon as i graduated it became clear that my training really would enable me to work at the best salons, and so as it turned out, i stuck with the "temporary" career choice.
my training and initial work started out in los angeles, california, but very soon after i made the long overdue move away. First, i moved and worked at the best salon in buenos aires, argentina for almost a year. then a more permanent move to seattle happened, where i spent the majority of my adulthood. I was quickly able to get work in a couple of the best salons there at the time, and did that for a few years, soon realizing i really wanted to work for myself...however, it wasn't long before i also realized seattle wasn't really ready for what I wanted to offer- a tiny one man shop. so, i ended up following what i considered to be my second option, something else that was also before it's time- making house and office calls to my existing clientele, and anyone they referred to me. i loved how personal it was, and my clients loved the convenience for many reasons.
now, many years later, we have moved to the south- something i have longed to do for decades. we love everything about this area and are thrilled to finally feel "home". now that we are settled in, i have decided to offer this same service here in the chattanooga area .
why call me?
because i have had the best training in the world. and because i have been making house and office calls to save people the time, energy, and inconvenience of leaving "home" for years.
whether you are here on business or pleasure, or call this great city home, i hope to make your acquaintance, and to give you a great cut that will grow out beautifully.
how it works and what to expect
* when i arrive you already have a washed head of hair, free of product, for me to work with.
* you'll need to have an ordinary height chair or stool to sit on, ideally with a mirror in front (but not necessary).
* i bring the tools of the trade with me, along with a hand vac (unless you have a better or alternate way of having the hair dealt with when we're finished).
after your hair is cut to your liking, you are free to style it as you see fit (although i am happy to make suggestions).
the difference between going to a salon and having me come to you, is that you don't get the before and after process of the shampoo and blowdry. what you will get, is a great cut that will be easy to work with, will get you compliments, and will look great until you're ready for your next cut, all in the convenience of your own space.
