She is so friendly and accommodating and I trust her judgement on what type of haircut would suit me. I will sometimes come in with some inspiration, but other than that, I let her take the reins and do whatever, so long as I am consulted about the length! Sometimes I like keeping my hair long, sometimes I'm just ready to chop it all off. I also really like how this studio is set up where she only works on one person - it's intimate but also comfortable. Joy is such a pleasure to go to when I need to get a fresh cut. I am trying to be better and get my hair cut more often, but she is such a treat that it almost feels wrong to come too often...but so long as I am in the area, I will ALWAYS go to Joy and will recommend her to anyone.

I followed one of the stylists, Sofia, here from another salon and have absolutely loved every visit. The salon specializes in color, but the quality of haircuts I get here has really surpassed anywhere else I've been. All the other stylists I've interacted with here have been delightful and kind, and although I'm super loyal to Sofia, from watching their work I wouldn't hesitate to book one of them if needed. Also, the Halloween and Christmas decor here is not to be missed, seriously a real selling point and something I look forward to seeing every year.

The reason for my negative feedback is that I place a high value on accountability. My appointment…read morewas scheduled for 10:45am, I arrived at exactly 10:45 and parked at 10:48 (see attached photos) the 3 extra minutes was because there was no parking available. After I checked in at the front desk, I sat and waited for almost 40 minutes without any update. Eventually, got up to say something and the receptionist told me I could come back at 12:30 because there was an opening then. When I mentioned that my appointment was at 10:45, she acknowledged that but added that the stylist was running late -- and then tried to place partial blame on me for being "late" as well. I explained that I was only five minutes MAX behind schedule due to the parking situation, but what concerned me most was the lack of accountability here. No one informed me that the stylist was behind schedule when I checked in, and no updates were given to me while I waited. But the most disappointing, and concerning part was the attempt to shift responsibility onto me rather than simply acknowledging the delay. As a business owner myself, I believe accountability and transparency are essential. When a business can't take responsibility for its own scheduling issues and instead blames the customer, it raises serious concerns and makes me question the ethics and how this business might handle more serious issues, and for this reason, I hope to encourage their management team and any potential clients to reflect on how important accountability and honest communication is!

There were several interruptions from people coming in to talk to him, and he was also on his phone during the appointment, which I didn't find professional. I wasn't happy with how my hair turned out. I understand it was a busy time, but I didn't feel my appointment had his full attention, and I ended up just wanting to leave. Because of this, I won't be returning. Thank you.

I was able to get an appointment within a week and the stylist Luis gave the option to have her wash her hair at home with shampoo and conditioner and arrive with wet hair or use the communal hair washing bowl. He assured that they clean it after every use, but it is about what my (elderly) mother was comfortable with. She elected to show up with wet hair. Writing this review based on her feedback, as I only dropper her off and picked her up. You are allowed to wait in the waiting area, with mask and chairs a spread out to comply social distancing. She reported that when you enter and before you get seated in your chair, they ask you to wash your hands. While you are washing your hands she observed that Luis was sanitizing the chair at his station and placed a fresh plastic covering on it. My mother was asked to remove the mask from the ear loops and hold it against her mouth and face. The tools were in the typical sanitizing fluid at the station. The stylist was wearing a mask the entire time. She felt save with the covid precautions taken. Sidenote: my mom is in the high-risk age category and has not really gone outside doing "normal" things since march. So this haircut was a treat but also only allowed thanks to the precautions PhD for Hair was doing. She said she will go back to get her hair colored.

I came in needing a serious color correction, and she nailed it perfectly. The color came out even better than I imagined. She also did a smoothing treatment and installed my extensions flawlessly.
