I moved here 2 years ago and I've been waiting to find a good salon. I got my hair done a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to writing this. She also did a really good job on the cut as well. And the prices are fair! Definitely recommend.

She also gave me advice on that I shouldn't touch my hair again until it grows out! Nice to know she's not trying to convince me to do work I don't need! I'll come back to her, for sure!

This is disappointing. You'd think reopening after being closed due to COVID they'd at least say hi to incoming clients ?!?!? I guess not. Its 1146 and still no acknowledgement of me sitting at the front door. Only one hair dresser is wearing a mask. I know restrictions are pretty much lifted but still. Just sent a text to my stylist letting her know I'm here waiting for her.

Being a man I of course am not organized enough to find someone I like and track her down for subsequent visits. You probably ought to do that if you care about it much. Today I just looked like I was coming out of a cave. My caregiver whacked away with both scissors and buzzer, using techniques never before seen that involved ear trauma. When she was done it looked ok. As Dylan said, next time I see her, I better run. But I have had many nice experiences here. Two customers were African-Americans, one male, receiving intricate hair designs. I did not catch the stylist's name but thought it worth saying such service is available.

Thanks for the great experience!

She really took the time to listen to what I wanted, but also added her own expert touch and I'm so glad she did. Her technique is incredible, especially w/ blondes. She knows exactly how to create dimension & brings everything to life without it looking overdone. My hair looks fresh, natural, & so well blended. You can tell she truly understands color & has a real gift for it. I'll definitely be going back to her! Also everyone in this salon is super sweet.

I had a lengthy consultation where we reviewed multiple inspiration photos and discussed adding…read moredepth and dimension while maintaining a dimensional bronde look with lighter ends. My hair had become brassy and I just wanted to add low lights and some dimension. I showed many, many photos to make it clear what I wanted. Unfortunately, the final result was drastically different from what I requested. Much of the interior and underside of my hair was colored a very dark brunette tone, creating a flat, heavy appearance rather than the dimensional look shown in the photos we reviewed. The ends of my hair look completely black, nothing like the photos I showed. The issue wasn't that my hair became darker overall. I expected more depth and lowlights. The issue was that much of the brightness and dimension was lost, particularly underneath, leaving large sections of the hair looking like one solid dark color. To Cynthia's credit, she did offer to adjust the color by adding highlights and ultimately provided a full refund when I explained that I was no longer comfortable proceeding with additional processing since my first request was so misunderstood and poorly executed. While I appreciate her efforts to make things right afterward, the final result did not reflect the look we spent significant time discussing beforehand. I'm honestly still devastated.

Tyler was friendly and easy to talk to and I explained I had a work event that night and I was hoping he could style it so it would last for that. He sprayed every curl thoroughly and the curls held all night. I have been to several other salons over the years and was honestly shocked the whole thing was only $55. In this economy???? It was a steal and Tyler was lovely. Definitely will go back.

Please note, I haven't actually visited this place. I was not able to get an appointment. Because…read morethis is a spot that many hairdressers utilize independently, there is no central booking option. Not Vagaro, not on the website, and not by phone. I sent an email and also called. I was able to get a receptionist on the phone but because she was new was unable to assist. I was directed to contact the individual hairdressers via Instagram. This required me to follow their page before I could message them. Really, really inefficient. In the meantime, I was able to locate another salon and hairdresser via Vagaro and book an appointment. These professionals may be great, but having an easy way to book will get more clients. In this day and age, the instantaneous booking is the bar and this place doesn't meet it. It is a hurdle/challenge to just get an appointment. I am sure these people are nice and are probably good at what they do.

When I showed her the pictures of what I wanted she said it would take more time and be more expensive which I didn't appreciate. Haircut is $60 ontop of the $250 which doesn't include tip.
