Had a great experience. I never had a balayage before and am very happy with my hair now. Rex was very helpful in helping me choose the style/color and he gave me advice on how to care for my hair also. Will definitely consider going back.

I just finished chemo and radiation treatments. Rex, my fab colorist and Becca, my new amazing stylist took such great care of me! They both took the time to talk with me about my expectations and their recommendations since I was going from long hair to short. I am so happy!
