Great salon! I love the natural soft lighting and all the plants! They have a cute little rooftop garden and it's very good if you get overwhelmed by bright salon lights like I do. The staff is kind and helpful and all the stylists did a great job! It's also relatively affordable. Overall 5 stars!

Misa is a gem. It's always amazing to hang out with her and she's great with hair and listening to what I need. Their COVID response has been excellent as well, and I feel confident going there and minimizing exposure of myself and others.

I found this fantastic salon through a co worker. I have loved it from the first day I came in. They have been extremely kind to me. They have cut my curly hair in a way that I can grow it and it can be tamed and attractive. A lot of stylists used to cut off my hair since they did not want to deal with curls because they did not know how to work with it. First I had a hair dresser Kirsten Landsverk and she was so great.

After a few years she had to depart and she was so careful and thoughtful about the next stylist she gave me to. She gave me to Misa West who has been just as perfect as Kirsten. They really care about you here. I actually look forward to catching up with Misa as much as I look forward to getting my hair done. Misa is very good at coloring and shaping and helping me to grow my hair. She is a great listener too which is a great added benefit. The manager of the Salon is also very friendly and welcoming. I will Come here as long as they will have me as a customer. Sara Hohn

Tamara has consistently made my experience amazing. She continually teaches me new things about my hair I didn't know. It is more than a salon visit. It's an investment in the health of my hair! I am never disappointed when I leave, only that the pampering is over, but the joy I get in all the compliments out in public make the salon pampering last just a tad bit longer. GO SEE TAMARA! She is a treasure.

The evolution of the salon is so beautiful to watch. The JUNGLE of plants is so wonderful. Makes you feel at one with all the wonderful Davine's product ingredients, that are so clean earth focused. The space is welcoming, and light radiates throughout the space to make you feel like you are on display for your very own fashion show, or just enveloped in a hug from great smells, amazing energy, and did I mention plants?! Each plant is like a client's hair. I love finding which one is me, in whatever mood I feel that day. GO PLAY AT ARABELLA!
