After many years of hair trauma experiences and trialing different stylists around the country, I can confidently say Olivia was wonderful! She listened to my concerns and understood what I wanted. She thoroughly explained the process and made it super fun and easy going throughout the visit. I absolutely love my subtle blonde/caramel highlights in my black/brown hair. She is great and I can't wait to go back! Thank you, Olivia!

This is one of the best hair salons ever! I went to them after having my hair damaged in a hair salon in Germany, and they were so professional in fixing the Color and not further damaging my hair and extensions. The hair stylist who coloured my hair was able to bring a unique shade and color to my hair, and I had to go to another event afterwards and they did an amazing styling to my hair, which was not even in the initial booking I made. I highly recommend this place, the staff are very friendly and super professional.

I absolutely LOVE carbon salon and having Olivia as my hairstylist. Prior to finding Olivia, I had terrible experiences with balayage, but say no more! After going through some pictures that I saved with her, she outlined the process to me and was transparent in how it might take a few sessions to achieve the color I was looking for. Nonetheless, she made the magic happen and I cannot be happier with my new hair color / style! She is also a fun person to be around with full of positive vibes; absolutely recommend her and carbon salon!

I just had the most wonderful experience with Olivia at Carbon! She was so kind and helped me achieve my 70s shaggy dreams. I truly have never felt like a haircut has represented me so well - I would highly recommend booking with her as soon as possible if you're looking to get your hair cut! She was incredibly attentive and followed what I wanted to a tee, plus we came up with plans for my next appointment (I have used henna in my hair so. she is an angel for planning out a future color appointment with me).

I really wanted to love my haircut, and I hoped after a few days that it settles it would be good. However, these layers are one of the worst I ever got. Well, pictures speak louder. There is no blending, random and uneven cuts. Just terrible.

I highly recommend this salon and especially my stylist, Olivia. She made me feel welcome and is so friendly. She is very good at what she does. She gave me the best balayage and cut I've ever had. The salon is convenient to get to on the green line T, and the it was clean and modern.

Absolutely in love with my hair one week into my new transformation. Olivia was able to turn my half brown half red hair into a beautiful blonde with gorgeous highlights. The hair cut is amazing, perfect for my face shape, all at the recommendation of my wonderful stylist! Was literally brought to tears by how beautiful Olivia's work is. She is an amazing stylist and beautiful soul, never want to go to anyone else!
