Her hater toward me was so much for some reason that her eyes were about to pop out at some point while talking. I rather have donated the money than given it to her. Salon was filthy owner was awful. Do believe the bad reviews, I didn't and I'm paying for it. Also do read the terms and conditions on her website because what it means is that you can sit in a chair and she can claim she cut your hair and there is nothing you can do but pay up.

It was my first time getting my haircut from Amanda, the salon was very clean and nice, i pitched…read morethe owner some ideas has it been a while since getting my hair cut.

I'm a licensed cosmetologist and have been wanting to learn how to do lashes for a while now, and…read moreI'm so glad I took Lana's lash course! I've been in the beauty industry for almost 20 years, and I can honestly say this was one of the best learning experiences I've had. She doesn't just teach you how to do lashes, she really makes sure you understand what you're doing. She broke everything down step by step, answered every question I had, and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. That's what I loved most about the course, you can truly go at your own pace. On top of that, her work speaks for itself. I've been a client as well, and she's always professional, clean, and consistent. It's just an overall welcoming environment, and she's a genuinely kind person. If you're thinking about taking a lash course or even booking with her, I would definitely recommend all of her services. She's great at what she does--100% worth it!!

In the two years, I've lived here, she has transformed my skin. She reversed some issues on my face, especially some hyperpigmentation that I thought would never ever get better. Her facials are amazing, the rooms are very pretty, calm, and sterile. She also sells some products there. If I could afford it, I'd go every week. Like, what are you waiting for?!

High skilled at transitioning to natural grey hair from a full head of dyed hair. Shannon is an…read moreexcellent hair stylist and colorist. I started seeing her several years ago per the recommendation of a friend who, with Shannon's help, let her natural grey grow out and looked phenomenal the entire time of her transformation. I wanted the same experience and Shannon did not disappoint. We started with cutting my hair a little shorter than usual - to just below my ear lobes. Shannon added lowlights to tone down the existing full head brown dye and let my natural grey/white areas work as highlights. Then she gradually cut off the brassy-blond left over from coloring and let my hair grow longer again. Now I have shoulder length grey hair with natural white-silver highlights and am loving it! Others seem to also, given the ample compliments I still receive. Jan B.
