His knowledge, honesty, and attention to detail immediately put me at ease. My haircut and blowout turned out amazing, but what stood out the most was how comfortable and understood he made me feel throughout the entire appointment. He truly listened to my concerns and treated my hair with so much care and professionalism. If you're looking for someone who is incredibly talented, genuinely cares about their clients, and delivers outstanding results, Nader is the one. I recommend him 100% and will definitely be coming back! Best, Kelly

I came in with brown/red hair with the goal of achieving a full blonde transformation and Mariam delivered beyond my wildest dreams. When she finally revealed the result, I cried happy tears.

Nothing was rushed, everything was methodical, well thought out, and intentional. Three months later, my hair is genuinely the healthiest it has ever been. Mariam and the team are committed to helping you reach your hair goals no matter how long it takes, and they are genuinely so supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process. She also sent me home with thorough guidance on maintaining my results and continuing to improve my hair health over time. The energy at Alexander Salon is energizing, and so positive. I cannot recommend Mariam enough!!!

From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. Susan and her team took such great care with everything: the shampoo, the cut, and the styling were all done beautifully and with real expertise.

Beyond their skill, what really stood out was their kindness and generosity. Everyone was warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming and caring, which made the entire visit such a pleasure. If you're looking for a salon that combines talent, efficiency, and outstanding customer care--especially if you have long hair and high standards--this is absolutely the place. We couldn't be happier and will definitely be returning! J&G

Danato took his time in explaining the entire process to me before starting the treatment, which included multiple cleansing washes accompanied by steam throughout.

The whole experience was relaxing and pleasant from start to finish. Danato was very attentive, polite and detail-oriented. I would highly recommend him for a hair spa treatment or blowout!

probably one of the worst haircuts I have gotten I would really like to post a better review.. I…read morewas super excited to come in and get my haircut. Honestly, it's probably two part in what I asked for and booking an apprentice stylist. Wanted long curtain bangs and long layers, cut to just below the collar bone. Got a long bob with, albeit, layers... some of the bangs cut dried and curl into my nose. Again, it's part bad ask and bad haircut. The stylist was working with me and tried to achieve what I was asking for, I just wish there was a bit more conversation about how to achieve what I want. Instead, I was impressed with how the stylist reiterated the hair cut back to me in bullet note like fashion, but it didn't initiate more conversation but instead felt like a: I'm telling you what I'm doing so if you dislike it in the end, it's your fault not mine. Giving 4 stars because I only had the stylist the one time! Don't knock this place until you try it, but this was my experience. I'm posting some reference pics along with my haircut. I hope that this review is taken as helpful criticism about conversing with clients. Wishing all the nest to en salon.

I had to come back the last time so Candice could fix my cut, clearly annoyed, and left me with a choppy bang-like piece that I ended up fixing elsewhere. Then this last visit I showed her a photo of what I wanted - a very blunt shoulder length bob. Pretty simple. I was there 20 minutes tops and wasn't shown the back with a mirror, and when I got home and looked with my own mirror, I found the cut was uneven, angled, and longer at the front. Sure it looked nice after being blow dried, and I typically play around with my hair afterwards to to be sure the cut flows nicely, but I felt uncomfortably rushed with her standing at the register waiting for me. The floor should also be swept between each client. That was definitely my last visit there.

I wanted to give 5 stars but I realized when I washed my hair, so much of my hair has been chopped…read moreoff and I paid a lot for this service as I was told to maintain my hair length, it will be $400, but my hair length was not maintained. A lot was chopped. Like an inch or two. If it weren't for that, I would have given 5 stars, but this is a pretty big deal that I was told to keep my hair length, it will be $400 and to chop it off it will be about $300 but my hair was chopped and I still managed to pay $400. Another thing is I didn't like the way my ends were trimmed. Yes the color is very nice though. Sam did my hair and he did a really good job. I want to give 5 stars but I also felt misled simply because a good chunk of my length was lost from this and it was not worth the price paid for. It does not sit well with me. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4 was because the way my ends were cut were chopped off. They weren't trimmed. They were just chopped off. That'd be okay if I weren't charged $400. $400 charge was to maintain my length, but wasn't. UPDATE: Edited mine to 4 stars because I really do love the color. Sam did an amazing job with my color. Hopefully I can get my ends fixed though! After washing my hair, my color still comes out beautiful. Photo is posted.

I called to make a last minute appointment and Dana graciously invited me to come in so she could assess my hair and recommend the best option for my thick, straight Japanese hair. I was looking for volume with defined curls, and she suggested an airwave perm, which ended up being the perfect choice. I was given a wonderful shampoo and conditioning by a kind employee. Following the wash, Dana gave me a quick trim to add some layers and remove bulk from my one-length cut, and then really got to work. About 2.5 hours later, I walked out of the salon with beautiful, bouncy curls that looked just like the reference photos I brought in. Even better, I was told the perm should last about a year with proper care, which makes it totally worth it. I was also provided some fantastic Japanese hair serum, which was so kind and appreciated! The entire team was attentive, kind, professional, and made the experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend Beautiful Cuts and will absolutely be back!

They had bleached the roots a different color and had toned it unevenly. I'm so glad MG hair was able to see me after the other salon had ruined my hair and was lucky enough to get a last minute amount. Eric was so careful and diligent. He made sure not to damage my hair since it had already been bleached by the hair stylist from another salon. All my friends are saying my hair looks like a celebrity's after Eric fixed it. I don't think I'll be going to any other salons cause MG Hair gave me such a stellar job. Bonus: they even have snacks while you're waiting!
