So disrespectful. they left the dye all over my face and the stylist didn't even check if the color was right. She also left my hair soaking wet and refused to even give me a towel. The color was completely wrong, but when I told her, she completely dismissed me and said that she didn't have time. When I complained to the manager, they offered to let me use their blow dryer so I can blow dry my hair MYSELF. Ridiculous. Her name was Jessica btw.

TERRIBLE! Went for a haircut, told specifically what I wanted. Aviva rushed to cut the hair literally within 10 minutes and completely RUINED it by cutting a chunky layer. The manager corrected it and needed to cut my hair super short in order to bring it all on one length. I literally look like a BOY and unfortunately had to pay for this awful experience. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else even if you may have to pay a little more. That's nothing compared to what you will look like when you walk out of this salon!

After searching for seven years for a stylist whose services I consistently feel good about, I've finally found Jessica! I initially saw her for a haircut, and I sensed immediately that she really tries to understand my needs instead of imposing her own views. I also have full trust in her when it comes to color. Most recently, I saw her for a full highlight, and I'm in love with it! Jessica is a sweetheart, and she's always open to answering any questions I may have about the service or about hair maintenance. Can't wait to see her again!

Had the best experience with Cecilia! I have long hair and usually they get all knotted and brushing them at hair dressers is a pain. Not here! They did a fantastic job with highlights, and cutting and blow dry!

I have been going to Michael for years now and I refuse to go to anyone else. He is so amazing and talented. He doesn't just take my money and do whatever I want, he actually consults with me and puts in his professional input as to what will suit me or what will be too much upkeep. Everyone I have told to go to Michael is obsessed. His cut and color work is amazing. Could not recommend highly enough.

I've been going to Michael for over 15 years! He's the absolute best! Always accommodating with my busy schedule. Makes me feel like a queen every time I go! I see him every 4 weeks for single process and a haircut every few months. He listens to what I like. He's amazing! You won't regret making an appointment with him! Service: Hair coloring

First time at the salon. Place is clean, staff is friendly, and was very impressed with Jessica. I gave long hair with layers and she did an excellent job with a trim. Already have an appointment for color with her in a month. Very good experience! Service: Haircut
