Gary is my guy! I moved here almost 3 years ago and had a tough time finding a good hair salon. The prices were either too high or I wasn't vibing with the stylist. One stylist even refused to give me the cut I wanted. I finally found Changez! Everyone is super friendly and Gary does a fabulous job. He gave me a perm and the cut I wanted. I highly recommend this salon

I have been a patron of Changez for about six years now and I plan on being one until death do us part. Gary is my stylist and never in my life have I had a more attentive, professional, kind and talented stylist. When I first went to Changez, my hair was in a rut. I was stuck in a style I couldn't get out of. Gary changed all that. His ideas for my hair were game changers and I've never been happier.
I had an appointment a couple days ago and for the first time in years I let Gary use a temporary coloring conditioner on my gray hair (his idea and a good one) since it was starting to show signs of dullness. I love it and it made me feel so good that I bought a bottle of the conditioner so I can keep the color. The entire staff at Changez are great people. From the owners (Jason and Stephen) to the front desk receptionist, everyone makes you feel like family. And on a personal note? Thank you, Roz for the inspiration! You're my hair muse! Changez is the best! Call for your appointment today. You will be glad you did.

Positive: Cleanliness, Professionalism, Quality, Value I have been coming to Changez for about 5 years. Gary is my stylist. I really enjoy everyone who works there and I have my brows waxed by Ashley, Kaitlyn, Ross or Kelsey. Jason the owner is very friendly as well. They are a great bunch working hard and each is always cheery and professional. Also their prices are a good deal. Services: Hair coloring, Hairstyling
