Salon is excellent with a very friendly staff. Everyone so helpful and professional. My stylist, Colleen, did a great a job with my hair including my highlights and hair cut. I was a new customer being referred by a friend and I will be a permanent client for the future. Thank you everyone for a wonderful experience and thanks to Dan for researching the name of the plant outside the building. He was so thoughtful and very pleasant to speak with. I will certainly recommend all my friends to LaDifference.

I went to see Colleen. She is a talented artist when it comes to hair. She knows color, and has colored my hair expertly. Colleen is current on styles and trends, and makes great suggestions about cuts, treatments, coloring, and highlighting. The salon is large, and very well managed. The space is inviting, and they take every precaution for clients and staff. I am so glad that I can go to Colleen again for her incredible stylist skills. Highly recommend La Differerance Salon and Colleen.
