I unfortunately had a negative experience with my haircut and blow dry. My stylist was very sweet…read more However, the standard of her service was subpar and I hope she gets the training she needs to be able to achieve this skill. I asked for a trim/cut to remove the dead ends and keep long layers, I informed her I had curly frizzy hair and usually my stylist will cut it after the blowdry. She stated she preferred to cut it wet and informed me she would touch it up after the blowdry, which was fine with me. When it came to the blowdry, it was clear she was not skilled with proper technique to blow out thick curly hair. It took about 30 minutes just for one section when finally another stylist noticed and asked if she wanted help. The other stylist asked what product was in my hair and stated that probably wasn't the right product to use and offered her blow dryer. The other stylist did a section that turned out just fine. My stylist continued on with the rest of my hair, at points I had to inform her the blow dryer was burning my scalp. The end result was a frizzy mess and it was clear I was not happy with the outcome, while her and the other stylist kept trying to normalize it by saying "Oh some people's hair just resists the blow dry" "it's looking so good!" etc. I truly didn't appreciate these comments as I have obviously gotten several blowouts and know my hair can definitely be blown out frizz-free. She also did not touch up the haircut at the end as she previously said she would and I was left with choppy layers that I will have to get fixed. The most disappointing part is that I tried to contact the salon owner three times to have this fixed with literally no response.

If you are a senior, like me, but don't want to look like one with a bad hair style, Rose is the stylist for you. I could tell right away that she would be able to help me with my "bad hair day" issues. This beautiful vintage Salon was very bright with plenty of big windows, beautiful hard wood floors and nice decor. The receptionists were very friendly. I can certainly recommend this Salon, whether you are young or elderly, I know first-hand that Rose would listen to any concerns you might have, or new styles that you would like to try. I am so please with the haircut I got today and know I will be returning to this salon in the future. I gave Rose a well-deserved five-star rating.

I have been searching for a salon and stylist that truly cares about the health of your hair and who knows how to cut hair properly. Most salons CANNOT cut hair professionally even though they charge you for said "professional cut." Angela will give you an outstanding cut. I firmly believe that my hair grew faster and healthier because of it. My hair was so damaged, tangled and breaking off from hormones and stress. Angela was so sweet and extremely informative about hair health and products. She has a pleasant and gentle energy that transfers to how she handles the service that you're getting. She is honest and gives you all the information regarding your hair as well as how to take care of it "after" the appointment. Every single time I go to Angela my hair looks and feels so healthy, shiny and gorgeous. My scalp feels clean and my my hair has so much body. My style lasts for 7 to 10 days guaranteed when I use a silk bonnet and minimal product. Angela is the best!! She is a hair SAFE salon! :) I don't have a photo but I will update my review on my next visit!
