If it were possible to give 10 starts you'd definitely get one. Huge shout out to Jazmin G. For working magic with finding the ideal color for my hair and for superb quality of service. From 9 am to 5pm this woman put in work and i cant be happier with the results. The staff here are pleasant and respectful. I have nothing but positive things to say. You have solidified my and my families hair care service. Thank you again Jazmin for being an amazing stylist and human being.
Keri was amazing! She was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. It was my first time dying my hair and she explained the process very well and made me feel so comfortable and confident. It turned out even better than I hoped it would and I could not be happier. Additionally, Keri was very enjoyable to be around which is great considering the time consuming nature of everything. The salon was also extremely clean and well put together
I had the extreme please of having Lily color my hair. My entire life, I was always told that I "lift warm" and will not be able to achieve the look I had wanted. Not only did Lily give me exactly what I've always wanted, but they had me lift cool in one simple.shot. They are the best and I will HAPPILY drive the hour there!!
Hannah and her boss Jess worked together to get my hair perfect! and I am so happy with it
