I have tried calling this place quite a few times throughout the years. Near covid I gave them benefit of doubt but, Never an answer! Then I even reached out with my info for a stylist to contact me. It says they have really great hours pretty early till late. I live by this place. It looks fancy but abandoned. What's going on? Can I get a cut and color here or what? Whys it so hard to answer the phone and just ask if u can call people back when u don't have other customers. Or how about actually responding to people? None of these reviews are newer than 2yrs as well so?wth

Called in to see if they had any times available and they were very short on the phone. Poor customer service from the start.

I love this salon! I got an amazing hair color custom done just for my cut! The building it's in is so great! There's shopping and 2 other salons! The girls are super nice and have a great variety of high end but affordable products! Plus they have unique purses and jewelry!
Had an amazing experience and my hair has never felt so great! I had JJ do my haircut and color and she did a keratin treatment and my hair just feels and looks awesome! Plus she waxed my brows for free since it was my first wax ever! Thanks so much!
