Hair Color
Our expert colorists offer single/double process color, grey blending, and foil highlights. Using Aveda and Goldwell products, we create dimension and vibrancy while maintaining hair health. Services include corrective color and custom formulations for natural-looking results that enhance your features and lifestyle.

This plant-based therapy improves hair condition through natural ingredients like jojoba oil and meadowfoam seed oil. Designed to restore balance to scalp and hair, it adds shine and manageability as an add-on treatment for chemically processed or damaged hair.

This retexturizing treatment permanently smooths hair using organic ingredients. Available for complete straightening or frizz control, it includes a customized consultation and lasts 3-4 hours. Recommended follow-up with a haircut ensures optimal results for color-treated or highlighted hair.

Aveda facials address various skin concerns through four specialized treatments. The Green Science Facial targets aging, while Outer Peace clarifies stressed skin. Elemental Nature rejuvenates dull skin and Botanical Resurface offers natural microdermabrasion alternatives for radiant, refined complexions.

A great big shout out to Debra! My wife and I hadn't had a hair style done since late January of 2020 due to Covid. For me 9 months was way too long to let my hair go and when I walked into Debra's salon she didn't even flinch. I showed her a picture of what my hair used to look like, she said "I can do that" and there it was. My wife is thrilled with her cut as well. We also had the pleasure of meeting her two shop kids, James and Bob, her dog and cat who are a real treat to be around.
I hesitate to say this, because I want to keep her place a secret, but I have to say that anyone looking for a 1 chair, 1 stylist salon in today's crazy world will surely appreciate Debra's location and decades of skill. See you soon!
