I decided to try this salon based on reviews and had Tiffany cut my hair. She did a great job! She listened to what I wanted and took a lot of time getting it right. She is very friendly and puts you right at ease. It is a nice, clean, comfortable salon. I am definitely going to stick with this salon plus it is in a convenient location. I had been going to Gene Juarez for years but sadly they were getting just too expensive.

I found this salon via Yelp & tried them out by getting a haircut first. I have wavy/curly hair & not just anyone knows how to properly cut my hair. I met with Stephanie & she was great. She spent time listening to me to truly understand what I wanted & she did exactly that. Based on the great experience I decided to set up an appointment for a full foil as I wanted to go blonde from being dark brown. Stephanie was honest in how my hair color would turn out and the results were exactly what she said they would be. I'm thrilled with how my hair turned out. Not only is Stephanie great but everyone there is friendly & the salon is a fun atmosphere.
