I went and got my first haircut in 3 years from Emma C. and was blown away. Amazing service and very professional. I showed them several reference photos and they gave me exactly what I wanted, but couldn't describe. The other staff were super friendly and helpful when I was looking for products and the online appointment booking was very easy and painless. Prices were extremely reasonable and I was in and out in less than an hour. I will be back!

Critical: Professionalism I booked a color, haircut and blow dry. They didn't tell me until after they had done my color that they had not booked the haircut and blow dry. I had to go to an important event with wet hair.

Very high quality service and experience. Not cheap, but that's the cost of quality. When I want the best for me, that's my favorite salon. Staff is lovely and I couldn't look any better when I leave.
