She is kind, generous, and such a perfectionist. You won't ever have to worry about not liking something because I trust she will catch it first. Her craft is unique and very much her own.

Don't forget to ask about her hair growth oil. The environment is clean, friendly, and family oriented. Not to mention, it's located downtown, so before or after your appointment, you can grab coffee, ice cream, or just walk around.

The rest of the staff made for a very welcoming environment - Amanda another co - worker even stepped in to assist! That's what I call teamwork! Highly recommend this salon - and Jenna and Amanda!

When you find someone who can do miracles with your hair, you remain loyal if you know what is good for you and your hair. In 2015, my hair was frizzy and damaged.

I had an appointment with Abby, and I was very disappointed with my experience. I spent a lot of my…read morehard-earned money on my hair, and for the price I paid, I expected much more care, professionalism, and attention to detail. One of the biggest things that bothered me was leaving the salon with hair color still on my skin. To me, that says a lot about the level of care being put into the service. It comes across as sloppy, rushed, and like you aren't taking the time to be careful with your client. When I'm paying this much money for a professional service, I expect the stylist to take her time and make sure I don't walk out of the salon with dye left on my face and skin. That was a huge disappointment for me. What made it even more disappointing was looking at pictures of other clients and not seeing them leave with color on their skin. It made me wonder why that same level of care wasn't taken with me. If you aren't being careful enough to remove the color from my skin before I leave, it makes me question how much care and attention is being given to my hair as well. I also expected more highlights and dimension. My hair came out much darker than I expected, and when I looked at it afterward, it just didn't have the pizzazz I was hoping for. I felt like what I wanted wasn't completely heard. I understand that a stylist has professional opinions about what is best for my hair, but ultimately I am the client, and I want to feel included and listened to. Trust is extremely important to me when choosing a hairstylist. When I find someone who listens to me, takes care of my hair, and makes me love the result, I am extremely loyal and will continue going back regardless of the cost. I was hoping Abby could be that stylist for me, but unfortunately this experience did not give me that confidence. The haircut itself was okay, but overall I was very disappointed. For me, it's not just about the final color. It's about the care and attention you receive when you're spending your hard-earned money. Unfortunately, I didn't feel I received that level of care. Based on my overall experience, I would not return to Abby and I would not recommend her.

Not only is it the go-to spot for cutting-edge hair styling (I get my mohawk dyed platinum here!), but the energy on First Fridays is off the charts. I DJ there each month, dropping some fatty beats, and the owner sets the perfect scene by providing complimentary drinks to keep the party going. There's always a cool mix of people dancing, browsing the hip clothing selection, or getting styled. The salon transforms into a mini dance floor, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the fun. If you want a place that's got killer style, awesome tunes, and a community vibe, OXY Salon is where it's at. Highly recommend checking it out on First Fridays--it's a blast!

I trust her to keep things the same when it's working and help me figure out how to switch it up when it's time for a change. I'm not a hair stylist, so I really appreciate Farzaneh's ability to talk through what's possible and realistic to expect for my hair type (and my preference for low-maintenance daily styling). She has recently opened up appointments earlier in the day (7 a.m. on some weekdays!) which is perfect for my work schedule. Her salon is so relaxing and private with space for one client at a time, and I love getting my hair done with a view of the little garden area outside. Great hair, great company, and a haircut experience that feels more like a self-care ritual than just checking a box on my to-do list.
