Changing my review to one star after the owners snarky response. Some people should simply not own…read morebusinesses. Not ever, in the history of Yelp, has responses like yours HELPED a business. I'm sure it feels great in the moment...but I bet it won't feel too great when you're shutting your doors. If you're THIS reactive to constructive criticism, that's on you babe. If you think I would have come back after THAT reply, you're crazy. Treating myself, as a customer, regardless of my experience in the industry, politely would have garnered a positive change in my review. After that reply...Good luck hon! Edit to owners second response: my initial review was in no way rude, it was honest and I actually left out details to show kindness to the stylist. It's not her fault, I never even said her name and that was on purpose. No one was "put on blast" (how old are we?) It was simply an accurate description of my experience. Blaming me for the HUGE CHUNCK missing from my hair is funny. Yes I had cut my own bangs, no they were not fixed by the stylist...clearly, look at the picture. Since the owner knew who I was. She also could have called me, she chose instead to argue like a teenager over Yelp. For new potential clients to see. I'd. Be. Mortified. If someone left my salon looking like I did, but more mortified to be THIS petty. This will be my last response. Future clients beware. If you're unhappy, this is how you will be treated. FYI. I didn't end up calling because I read your replies to others who had and shocking ...you were rude to them too. Embarrassing. Good luck!

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.

In one session I'm already feeling like myself again and can't wait for my second session to get my perfect blonde. Thank you Jenna!

I've been going to Steven for about a year now, and at this point I genuinely don't trust anyone…read moreelse with my hair. I swear I can walk in with the most random inspiration photo or say, "I want this exact shade of red," and somehow he and his team make it even better than I imagined. Every. Single. Time. I've never left disappointed, and that's saying a lot because I'm VERY picky about my reds. They always turn out rich, vibrant, dimensional, and they stay looking amazing. The entire salon has such a fun, welcoming vibe. His team is full of the sweetest, most talented women who are always so encouraging and excited about whatever color idea I bring in. Not once have I been talked out of something or made to feel silly for wanting to try a new look. Instead, they hype me up, make recommendations, and somehow bring my vision to life while keeping my hair healthy. One thing that has meant so much to me is that I'm active duty military, so my hair has to stay within regulations. He has always been incredibly knowledgeable about what will and won't work, and he makes sure my color is beautiful while still keeping me in regs. He has even offered to recolor my hair free of charge if it ever ended up outside military standards, which, for the record, has literally NEVER happened because he absolutely nails it every time. If you're thinking about booking, just do it. Whether you want subtle, bold, vibrant, or something completely unique, this is the place to go. The talent, the kindness, the professionalism, and the overall experience are honestly unmatched. I can't recommend him and his amazing team enough.

I love Steven and his awesome fairies I'm going to come again for my annual greyblending touch up soon.
