It’s been a while since I’ve done anything for my self! I had a gel manicure with extensions and a gel pedicure, as well as an eyebrow wax. Amanda was nothing short of fantastic. Everyone was wonderful. Very welcoming and helpful. Amanda did all 3 of my services. I will definitely come for nail fill’ plus I have a hair appointment on Thursday with another employee. Keep you posted!

I can’t recommend this salon enough! I had the best experience, and my hair extensions turned out absolutely beautiful. They blend perfectly, feel so comfortable, and look so natural. Jessica is amazing and incredibly talented! She listened to exactly what I wanted, paid attention to every detail, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I left feeling more confident than ever. If you’re thinking about getting extensions, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be back!🫶🏽🫶🏽

Elayne James Salon in Middletown is a truly welcoming place! I had my haircut with Sara today. She patiently listened and added her professional ideas. Y The end result is that my hair looks AMAZING! Sara's scissor techniques are what created this amazing result. Highly recommend and I'll be a repeat customer. Sue

Found this wonderful salon last minute and I absolutely love them here! Came in as a walk in and walked out extremely happy with the hair cut/style… I’ve already recommended to friends.

Every single person who works here is so kind! They all seem to get along as well and this creates a beautiful atmosphere to be in! Andria is the sweetest and so so talented when it comes to hair! She knows exactly what I want and how to achieve any crazy idea I bring to her! My hair turned out gorgeous and was a much needed transformation! It feels so healthy after the fact too!
