Great cut from Gia! This salon is very comfortable and friendly. I also received product info (no pushing) for my hair condition.

This place is way overpriced for the shotty work they do. I paid over 150 to an inexperienced girl who had to ask the other stylist from way across the room how to cut hair! Don't even get me started on the color or highlights. I looked worse when I left then when I came in. DO NOT RECOMMENDED. GO to GENESIS right down the street. Great service and know what their doing!

Although my nails turned out well, I was unaware that I was going to be charged $10 more than the listed price on the website and the brochure I was handed there. No one told me that my price would be upped and when I asked why, there was no clear explanation. In addition, I have a hair appointment coming up. Because of the nail incident, I called ahead and asked the price of my haircut. I was told it was going to be much higher than the listed price as well.
I understand having more expensive prices for those who have more experience but not one person told me this and I would have been charged $14 more dollars without consent. **After my hair appointment, I was very pleased with the result and the communication. Gia, the owner, spoke with me directly and reimbursed the price difference for being in the dark. So stars went up! As well, my no-chip manicure and haircut are great quality.
