I have waited to do this review only because I wanted Kayla all to myself, but I must give credit where credit is due. She rocked my haircut! I'm new to the area and looked for someone who would it not emulate what I had, but did better. I had a lot of compliments on my new cut. need anyone? Kayla is your go-to. She will not disappoint. It is difficult to find someone who can cut straight, stringy hair and make it look good.

This was such a great experience. They really are protecting their clients by locking the door behind them. Very clean, and sanitized after every client leaves their station. I had the pleasure to meet my hairdresser for the first time and he made me feel very comfortable.

My review is long overdue, but Amanda is amazing! She is truly talented in what she does. She knew exactly how I wanted my hair color and cut to be, and she got me there. It's hard to find trustworthy hairstylists and she's a Godsend. She will take the time to make sure your color is blended and if you're a brunette going blonde she will make sure that brassiness does not exist. I will continue to go to her for all my hair needs, and highly recommend her!
