First visit today and I’ll be back.
Very welcoming salon.
Lauren greeted me so warmly and Ryan who cut my hair was so knowledgeable and discussed in detail my needs re styling.
Listening, which is a gift not often displayed.
Thank you so much all.

This is my third time coming to this Salon. My first two visits were with Ryan and I was treated so well, given a complimentary hair mask around Christmas time last year and always so friendly.

My most recent visit was with Lexi and she was amazing! So friendly and understood how anxious I was for such a drastic change. It was very refreshing just being able to talk- something I find very hard to do to strangers. I left the salon feeling like a new person and I cannot stop looking at my beautiful hair. Thank you!!

Jack & Lauren were both extremely friendly and helpful. I have nano bead extensions and was gifted a treatment and blowdry and had the best experience with them. The products used smelt amazing and my hair was in such great condition after. Jack was careful with my extensions and did such an amazing job. Extremely happy customer- thanks alot!
