Katie was very welcoming and the salon was beautiful too. She gave great instruction and product recommendations (the why behind the ones she recommends too). I left feeling confident that I can style my hair to look this way on my own. I would 100% recommend to anyone with wavy or curly hair!

After years of neglect, she is bringing my curls back to life and setting them free. But she's also an amazing person. I love her quiet energy, her smile, and how much she cares.

For hair services, I see Katie at Aura. And Katie is the curl whisperer! If you have curly hair…read morelike I do, you'll want to give Katie a visit as soon as possible. She will set your curls free! As a salon, Aura is completely gorgeous. I love its shabby chic vibe with fun bursts of color from some amazing vintage furnishings. It feels like no other salon I've been in, and I mean that as a compliment. Aura is in an old storefront from the early 1900s (or so) with magnificent windows that let in natural light and tall ceilings. It feels elegant and cozy at the same time -- there's nothing corporate about it. It's weird to say, but even the shampoo chairs are super comfortable. I'm so glad they opened up shop so close to where I live and work. They also get bonus points because they're right across the street from Wheat Penny (one of my favorite restaurants in Dayton) and adjacent to all that the Oregon District has to offer. You can definitely make a whole afternoon or evening out of your trip to the salon.

Vikings was one of the first ones to wear their hair in such a style long before. I DO NOT appreciate her judging like that. I understand its right to refuse but she is in the wrong to act in such manner and be so judgmental towards another race. Not only that briads belong to many cultures native Americans, Roman's, Greek and so many more. No the style of box braids don't belong to a certain culture. People need to stop being so racial period. People can go research history. And her email to me didn't tell me her reason for refusing my request she was plain out rude. And there are white girls and other cultures who have box braids who hair is just fine and no damage

Lots of people "can install extensions" but how do they look at the end of 6-8 weeks. Let me tell you Taylor does such a fantastic job that my grow out wasn't matted or had tension spots.
