Haven't had my hair dyed since 2013. Finally decided on some highlights. Antonio is an artist and did a beautiful job! He takes his time, but yet he's quick! He made sure my highlights were perfect. He also fixed my hair cut and gave me beautiful layers! He made me look so beautiful! So glad I found him and look forward to my next visit!

Antonio is a great stylist, he listens, and provides feedback. Before he does anything their is a dialog about your hair. I needed some color correction and now my color is perfect. As to my haircut it is the best. I don't like to spend a lot of time on my hair and now I don't have to. I like his automated system, it allows me to send photos of what I am thinking about before I see him. My appointments are emailed to me and I confirm on line. Great system is works for me. Thank you Antonio.

We moved here from southern California and my daughter who's mixed has difficult hair. Antonio did a beautiful job. He's great with ethnic hair. His studio is a wonderful and warm place to be. He is a colour genius.
