Got my first haircut there today with Elizabeth and she did the most amazing job! I was nervous about trying to find a new stylist when I moved here and now I’ve got a fantastic one! Thanks so much again! ☺️

Haven't been to a hair salon in 7 years and that's because my last experience was absolutely horrible!! But I found this place and I couldn't be any more happier! I had Cassandra and she was so amazing. Very friendly to talk to, her vibes were so nice and she was really cool! She listened to exactly what I wanted, and we even did the "bun test" to see if my hair was still long enough to be put up! My hairstyle came out exactly the way I wanted it! I'm so happy about it and I always recommend this place now! But unfortunately with everything closing soon, I pray that

Had the worst experience. I came in looking for a nice grey and silver hair style. Like an ombre. I got all silver barely any grey and the grey I have is choppy and barely there at all. Then I paid $220 dollars for something I didn't even want and three hours of sitting in the chair. He didn't try to give me a deal at all. "colour is hard" apparently too hard for them to do. I am very unhappy. His name is Jimmy.
