They have really wonderful products, including Nutrafol vitamins and lots of greenery. The sinks to rinse your hair didn't make my neck go back like others do, so it's just very nice to have that luxury. I recommend this salon to anyone who's not sure if they want to try it out. Start small and see if it's for you (like a root touch up or haircut). I did ask about pricing before making an appointment and it was reasonably priced compared to other luxury salons with great service. I'm excited to have found a great place that I hope will be my salon home for the future. Btw - bonus - you get an awesome custom beverage with service. I got the iced pumpkin chai latte which is the picture attached.

I had a very disappointing experience at this salon. I scheduled a balayage and face-framing layers…read morewith Julianna two months in advance after a consultation where I showed inspiration photos and was assured my desired results were achievable. On the day of my appointment, we reviewed the plan again and I was told it would take about 4-5 hours. Instead, the service took 7 hours and extended past closing time. The haircut I requested was never completed. only a minimal trim was done. From the front, my hair looked similar to how it did before the appointment, but I wasn't shown the back before leaving. Once I got home, I realized the results were far from what I had requested and not properly blended AT ALL. The balayage was not done, the color was the same tone I had walked in there with originally, and the haircut was never completed. I contacted the salon the next day, and they agreed to fix it. However, communication throughout the process was very poor. Each time I called, staff seemed unaware of my situation and attempted to schedule me for times that conflicted with arrangements already discussed. Because my hair was already compromised, I repeatedly requested a different stylist who specialized in color correction. Despite asking multiple times, they initially kept trying to assign me to the same stylist. After 3-4 requests, I was finally assigned someone else. They assigned me to Kat and I was told she would contact me on a specific day to schedule, but she did not. When she eventually reached out later than promised, she said she would move another client to fit me in and follow up to confirm; however, she never did. I waited a full week for the appointment she had mentioned and ultimately had to call the salon myself. Throughout this entire time, I did not feel comfortable wearing my hair out due to how bad the results were, but I remained patient because they had agreed to fix it. I was also repeatedly asked to adjust my schedule or call off work to come in on their availability for their mistake, despite clearly explaining multiple times that my original appointment was booked on my day off and I needed the same accommodation. At the end of my initial visit, I paid $450 including tip for results that were not what was discussed. I also tipped at the time of service, based on their assurances that any issues would be taken care of and corrected. After about three weeks of trying to resolve the situation, I was only refunded for the service which was $380, not the tip. By that point, I had to go elsewhere and pay significantly more for a full color correction. something this salon was responsible for plus also pay and tip another stylist. While the staff was polite, the lack of communication, failure to follow through, and overall handling of the situation made this a very frustrating and disappointing experience. I would not return or recommend this salon based on my experience.
