I have been box dying my hair on and off for the last 14+ years. So I was nervous that Lynn…read morewouldn't be able to get my hair color the way I wanted it. I wanted the ombré bayalage but was worried that the black was on too thick and for too long. Lynn wasn't sure either but we tested my hair and it was strong enough to withhold the chemicals, she didn't want to ruin my hair. I really appreciated that since most hair stylists would fry your hair and take your money and not care. Lynn told me I have thick and beautiful hair, so she didn't want to ruin it with chemicals if my hair wasn't strong enough to manage it. Hours later, my hair came out perfectly the caramel colors I wanted and the ombré was perfect. I'm thrilled with the results and I'll be back for Lynn to help me manage this hair.

This is my first ever review!…read more I recently moved to the area and found Parlour on Google. At 7 weeks postpartum, I wanted a hair refresh and my cut was amazing by Sabrina. A few months later, my baby started grabbing my long hair, so I tried cutting it myself--disaster! I came in again 3 months PP for a cut with Sabrina, but I wasn't happy with it. I had to rush home and couldn't explain what felt off, so I called the same day to schedule adjustments. Two days later, I came in thinking she was just going to cut my hair dry buSabrina gave me a full service (wash, cut, blow dry, style) and nailed the look I wanted. She even waived the cost for the redo! I was shocked and grateful--being 3 months postpartum, I didn't feel my best, and I left the salon loving my hair. Sabrina is the sweetest, most understanding stylist, and I felt completely comfortable giving honest feedback. 10/10 recommend!

Beware of price gouge rip off by stylist Wendy Fata! The Garage salon has no website to see prices…read more When I called for a roots touch up appointment I was told Wendy had availability. Since she wasn't in at the time, so I asked Janea the owner what Wendy charges. She said she "didn't know." Why would she claim not to know? They work there together, so I'm not buying it! I went for the appointment figuring the cost would be the typical $60 to $80 rate. Wendy charged me an outrageous $190 FOR A SIMPLE ROOTS TOUCH UP & BLOW DRY! No haircut involved. As she told me the price she said, "no need to add a gratuity, it's included in the price. SHE JUST ADDED IN A TIP FOR HERSELF WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! Who does that? It's so unprofessional, unethical and scammy! Her cost was already appallingly over the top for a simple roots job! Why does she think she deserves a tip on top of that? I should never have paid that inflated amount. I called Wendy Wendy when I got home to ask if she could give me some credit back for the overcharge. She said she'd consider it and call me back. She never called. I would NEVER have agreed to a $190 roots fee if I was given an honest answer when I called to ask the price. DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY WENDY! Demand to get a price before you make an appointment. Better yet, go somewhere else with reasonable, not ridiculous fees and deceptive "gratuities."

Nichole is a great listener. She has a lot of experience and you can tell she loves her work. The studio space is hers. Lots of greenery and chill vibes. She worked to get the curls perfect in my sister's hair. I know the curls are important to my sister in law and she would not still be going to the same place repeatedly if she didn't trust Nichole.
