Services
Haircuts
Tailored haircuts for all hair types, including precision cuts for short, medium, and long hair. Our stylists specialize in face-framing techniques, DevaCurl methods for curly hair, and modern trends. Services include consultations to determine the best style based on face shape, lifestyle, and texture. Clients receive expert advice on at-home maintenance and product recommendations to prolong results, ensuring manageable, wearable styles that grow out naturally.
Color Services
Comprehensive color options from single-process applications to complex balayage and corrective color. Our master colorists use advanced techniques like hair painting and double-process bleaching to achieve vibrant, dimensioned results. Specialized services include fashion colors, gray blending, and toning treatments. Each session incorporates conditioning treatments to maintain hair health, with post-service care guidance to preserve color vibrancy and minimize fading between appointments.
Hair Extensions
Customizable extension solutions including tape-in, clip-in, and seamless methods. Specialists provide consultations to determine optimal length, volume, and color matches. Installation includes blending cuts and styling education for at-home maintenance. We offer maintenance services like re-taping and color-matching adjustments, with reusable hair options lasting up to three applications. All extensions are 100% Remy human hair for a natural look and feel.
Texturizing Treatments
Advanced texturizing treatments such as keratin, Magic Sleek, and Brazilian Blowout for frizz-free, manageable hair. These formaldehyde-free options smooth curls, add body to limp hair, or create soft waves. Treatments include protective protein layers to enhance shine and reduce styling time. Results last 312 weeks depending on hair type and care regimen, with immediate wash-and-go convenience post-treatment for most services.
Bridal Hair Services
Full bridal hair services including trials, updos, and extensions for wedding days. Specialists create custom styles complementing each clients theme, facial features, and dress design. Services include consultations at least two months in advance to ensure satisfaction. Trial sessions incorporate accessory placement and veil adjustments, with options for same-day stylist availability for weddings and special events requiring group styling.

I have had my haircut by Ava multiple times and every single time has been an awesome experience. She is so talented and listens to how I want my hair to be cut and makes my vision come to life. She is very patient too and is always willing to take the time to give me recommendations about how to style me hair or how to switch it up! I have never had a bad experience here and I will always go to Ava to get my haircut from now on. If you are looking for someone who is extremely talented and affordable to cut your hair than look no further! Ava is truly the best. I am already looking forward to my next appointment.

Salon West is easily the best salon I've been to. Every time I go, I leave feeling so much better about my hair. I've never gotten highlights before, but the stylists were so helpful and answered all my questions about the process, upkeep and everything to calm my nerves. They made the perfect shade to complement my hair and it looks so natural! All the stylists are so friendly and efficient. They use products for your specific hair type and do a great job explaining how to maintain beautiful hair even after leaving. They've definitely made me enjoy getting my hair done again!

So happy to have found my new hairstylist after trying a few places in the area. The salon is spacious, beautiful and they also give a great wash/massage. Ava gave me an amazing cut and blowout/style. I have fine, long hair and she took off exactly what we agreed upon with beautiful layers. She also gave me great advice on how to keep my hair looking healthier longer without pushing products from the salon, which I always so appreciate! She was also really fun and sweet; definitely looking forward to my next haircut!
