Mandatory consultations for new color clients help determine optimal color solutions. Our stylists assess hair texture, discuss lifestyle needs, and create personalized color plans. Consultations allow accurate time and pricing estimates while ensuring realistic expectations through digital shade visualization tools and physical color swatches.

Kristen is the BEST. Willing to work with me until I find exactly the style I'm looking for, and I trust her opinion. This has been my regular salon for over a year. Good vibes, clean space, great people. Love it!

Stephanie is the only stylist I will let touch my hair after searching for years for someone that knows how to truly handle long fine hair and long layers. My hair is fair and fine and it takes someone that really knows what they are doing to make it look healthy and full, and not limp and stringy, and Stephanie is an absolute genius. She really does an amazing job and I won't see anybody else to give me volume with long layers that blend well and aren't choppy like so many I have had before. She's very knowledgeable and kind and does a great blowout as well! I also love the salon and the staff, it is a great environment and always pleasant and relaxing.

I was greeted in a friendly manner by everyone with whom I came into contact. And, Kristen did a great job with my curly hair. She listened to me, made good suggestions, and told me about the products she used. This is my place now!
