I felt that she did such a meticulous job and was absolutely so accommodating to all my hair goals. I have naturally dark and thick Asian hair with faded ombré so to get this result that exceeds by expectations is astonishing! I definitely recommend Liz if you want to get your hair done here ~ Also everyone did amazing with maintaining COVID protocols from what I saw. Everyone always wore a mask and sanitized after every person so always a plus! I was texted right before my appointment to be notified that the station was nice and clean for me to use :)

Marla is very dedicated and spends a ton of time and attention during each of her appointments and is knowledgeable on a lot of hair techniques that I knew nothing about! Before coming to Marla I had never had my hair dyed before but she made the process so easy and we were able to transition to fun colors over the years such as purple, magenta, pinks and oranges! I have never left disappointed from Marla and I will not trust my hair with anyone else. You're paying for quality and experience when you go to her and she knows exactly how to handle different styles of hair, and will talk with you about suggestions and alternatives in the case that something might be better. Absolutely love Marla and her bubbly personality - super passionate hair stylist who is exceptional at what she does and it definitely shows in what she does! I'll be coming back here until (and if) I ever move out of the north east area!

I have gone to Marla in the past and she specializes in textured hair.

My daughters, however, have textured hair and I wanted to treat one of my daughters to a cut from Marla because she is going on a very special trip and I wanted her to feel beautiful. Marla does not disappoint. I have included a picture of my daughter before her cut, sitting in the chair, and after the cut. I wanted her to feel beautiful & the new cut is helping her to feel that way.

The braider was professional and the quality of the braids are acceptable, but if you're looking…read morefor something specialized, like ombré braids done correctly, I can't say I highly recommend this place. I ended up having to buy my own hair because they didn't have the color I wanted (despite the owner promising they had it when I contacted her a week before my appointment). Even though I bought my own hair and it was clearly ombre shaded; the braider didn't even attempt to make the hair ombre, so there were dark pieces throughout the light pieces, resulting in a weird (and frankly, ugly) mixed effect of the hair. The service also wasn't particularly fast, based on my other experiences with similar shops, but it wasn't excessively long, so I was fine with that aspect. . Overall, I wasn't wowed. I think it's a fine shop for straightforward styles, but if you want something unique or of a very specific quality, I'd caution you to look elsewhere.

DISHONEST AND UNTRUSTWORTHY:…read more The owner was not forthcoming and honest when I spoke with her about coming to her studio. I had told her that I was interested in coming to her studio for a specific brand of hair color, and I also asked if she would wear a mask. Since she agreed to wear a mask, and she offered the hair color I wanted, so I became her client and have seen her three times. She did not follow through on both areas. She emailed all of her clients a few weeks ago and said she was dropping all of her products and was going with a one product instead. She did not explain why or what was in the product, etc. I figured I'd give it a try since my hair appointment was in a few weeks, and she was very particular about the products she used. I had my appointment scheduled for today. She emailed me a couple of days ago to make sure I had received her email about changing products. I told her I was still planning on coming and would like to hear more about the product, why she chose it, etc. when I came to see her to have my hair done. She then proceeded to provide reasons why she chose to change, which included that she had started to transition prior to the pandemic and waited because of the ammonia in the product and masking (she said it's problematic with the ammonia). She had not said anything about this previously. She had not said anything about mask issues prior to this, or that the new product contained ammonia. Again, this is TWO days before my appointment. When I said that I'd be wearing a mask and would like her to, she said she wasn't going to. She left it up to me about whether or not I wanted to continue with her. I replied that I found a solution that would work (she did not have to do anything or wear a mask). She then informed me this morning (hours before my appointment) that she couldn't accomodate my needs, etc. There were no negative exchanges between us, but she decided that it wouldn't work. I find her behavior to be dishonest and disconcerting. When she took me on as a client, she knew she was going to transition out of my hair color and not wear masks, but did not tell me. She also said she would wear a mask but reneged on that promise. She waited to the last minute to essentially communicate HER concerns about me coming with her new use of the product. I was flexible to accomodate my needs with these new changes; she was not. I have my birthday next week and planned concerts to attend, etc.. She left me hanging in a BIG way. Her treatment of me was very unprofessional. Warning: she is not trustworthy and is unprofessional in handling important issues. I recommend going somehere else.
