This was my first experience and I left so happy and felt like a brand new person. Christine was my stylist and she educated me about my hair type, how to care for and style it and recommended products for me to try to help it curl some. She was very easy to get along with, very personable and did an amazing job. The salon had an earthy smell to it and was very welcoming. My hair looks amazing and feels amazing. I can't wait for my next appt!

Ben works his magic on my curls! I've always been hesitant on getting my hair done (cuts and color) at non "curl specialist salons" due to poor experiences in the past. After my first interaction with Ben, I wanted to try out a natural sun kissed highlight with him. Well, I finally got to join the club of people who tell their stylist they love their new hair AND ACTUALLY MEAN IT! I got in my car and couldn't stop looking at my curls and admiring the color job. I'm so happy I gave Ben a try and I feel so amazing with my new hair!

Been all over knoxville to many different salons. I've learned a thing or two, and one thing is that you need to find a stylist who fully *understands* what you're asking for and that you also know how to properly communicate your needs. My stylist here was Alyssa and she did EXACTLY that. I'm obsessed with my haircut and it turned out 100% the way I envisioned it to. She's amazing- book with her!

I walked into this Salon and instantly felt my stress melt away. This was my first time here. Alyssa was my stylist and she did such an amazing job. Not only was she so very professional and personable but she is a perfectionist when doing hair. I have gotten my hair colored for many many years and am very picky with who I allow to do it. Alyssa never made me doubt her at all. My hair turned out so great.
The receptionist was so sweet also. I bought my first bottle of Aveda shampoo and conditioner and I have never ever been so excited to wash my hair! I had an all around amazing experience here and I owe it all to Alyssa!
