I went there to get my head shaved because I was planning to donate my hair. Everyone was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable through the process. I would like to thank Ivanka for the buzz cut, and I look forward to going back to style my hair once it starts to grow.

I have been going here to see Ivanka for three years now. My hair is very tricky to cut because of natural waves. My hair never has an awkward stage with Ivankas talented hands. I also love that its reasonably priced and its a nice clean salon.

The hairdresser that I had during both of my visits was an absolute superstar. After both of my visits, the stylist left my hair looking amazing. However... The front desk staff that I had interacted with both times were particularly lackluster. After my first visit, I had rebooked at the front desk. The receptionist seemed to be very distracted as we were looking for a rebook day and time. We had eventually settled on a day and time, verbally confirmed it, and I had put it in my calendar. On that day, I called in to say that I was on my way, and they said that I had missed my appointment and that

Suzanne was my stylist, and she did an amazing job! Went in for a perm, and she made sure to give me all kinds of info and helpful tips on the process, as well as aftercare. 100% will be back!
