These ladies were wonderful! Both of my kids were in desperate need of a haircut before school started and they got us in the day I called. Not only did they get them both in for a haircut at the last minute but they spent time making sure they had a great haircut, no rushing them through! I highly recommend this salon!

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Value This was my first time at ZEN. I haven't had my hair done since February. I thought I would grow out my grey but decided NOT. Sophia did an AMAZING job over 3 + hours And many bowls of color and I feel wonderful. It's as if I have a little more hope for the future! Booked my next appointment! MANY THANKS! Service: Hairstyling

I have been coming to this salon for many years, and it never disappoints. From the front desk receptionist always asking if I need a drink or anything, to my stylist Leah who always makes sure every client is satisfied. They go above and beyond and know how to treat everyone like a guest. I even overheard when someone was not satisfied from a visit and the owner reached out to make it right. Customer service is number one at this establishment!

I'll keep it short: the chair was available for the minute of my appointment--I wasn't made to wait at all--and Jessica did a fantastic job. She's friendly and talented and does not rush. I'd recommend her and the salon highly.

Salon is beautiful, stylists are knowledgeable and make recommendations of hair products that work for your hair type. Leah does a fantastic job with cut, color and picking the right products for my hair. Was so sick of my thinning hair until Leah suggested zenegen and within a few weeks I'm already noticing the difference. Everyone is super friendly!
