    Nicole is beyond amazing at what she does! I'm so impressed with how professional and comfortable the salon is. She takes the time to consult prior to going to work, which I appreciate so much after a few botched colorings and bad haircuts. Her balayage skills are amazing- long grow outs still look beautiful and natural! Her prices are extremely reasonable for LA, and her work speaks for itself. I'm so glad I found you Nicole!

    Nicole is AMAZING! She saved my hair when I had an awful die job from someone else and is perfection at doing blonde balayage. I have been going for 3 years now and will forever be loyal to her! She's the best.

    Nicole . My hair fairy. Love it . She did a beautiful job very patience I have a lot of hair. She did not rush took her time . Thank you

    This review has been saved in my drafts as I really don't like to share negative reviews but since I came here based off of reading her yelp reviews I feel it necessary to share my personal experience. Got my hair done and it came out super dull/grey/orange- I am used to having bright white blonde. I let Nicole know this as soon as possible. I was thinking I would be told to come in that day or the next- as any time in the past I've left a salon where I'm dissatisfied with the color they correct it as it's on them. I was extremely patient- Nicole told me her schedule was very busy - for 5 weeks I wore a hat because my normal blonde, was an odd color and even the texture of it was off- it felt brittle and dry. I had been messaging with Nicole here and there over weeks - I was told the correction would cost me $40 (other places I've gone to have fixed their mistakes for free but whatever) I just wanted it fixed. When it finally came time for me to go in for my appointment- she decided to tell me an HOUR before- and only because I reached out to her- that it would actually cost me $200. She made me wait weeks to come in to get it fixed- and then tells me it's going to cost me the same price it did for the original service- the service where she ruined the color of my hair...talk about bad business. Long story short, she made it clear to me that she doesn't care about her clients. She could have told me I should go somewhere else to try and get it fixed if she couldn't help me & refunded me some of my money for her bad color service. Instead, she strung me along for weeks and I would have driven 30 mins to my appointment - only to be told when I get in her chair- that the service would be 5x the amount she originally quoted me I made the appointment. To top it all of the stylist I went to after told me that it was clear due to nicoles bleaching on top of already bleached areas and then toning my hair for far too long- that I had lots of breakage!! Principles matter to me, especially when it comes to things like hair- you have to be able to trust your hair stylist. If she ruins your color- that will be on you- the client, not her apparently.

    Nikki is phenomenal! Beautiful results every time. She has been my colorist for 3 years and I have complete trust in her expertise. She has masterfully taken me from brunette to blonde to red many times over due to my passion for color! Nikki's balayage skills are the bomb! She has unbelievable attention to detail, making sure each strand is painted to perfection. I see her every few weeks for color and am always extremely pleased with the results and the pampered experience . Love her! Her wonderful personality matches her talent. She is a true gem.

    I've been coming to Nicole for over 4 years now and I will NEVER let another person touch my hair. She does my Kera tip extensions and they last me 5/6 ish months. She does my blonde balayage, I don't like brassy and she always get the perfect shade of blonde! I recommend her to everyone I know!

    Love love love!!! I could NOT be happier with my hair than I am right now. Nicole is amazing and so kind hearted! I was greeted nicely at the door and was offered coffee or water then we talked about my ideal hair transformation and it came out so beautiful! Nicole will definitely be my new hair girl

    Wete you happy with the hair cut? Was it what you expected?

    I would not go back, The haircut was ok, but I had to wait a long time, and then my stylist was doing someone else's hair so I had to wait again while she finished her other client. I was there longer than I thought I would be, and I didn't like that

    What is your price range for a balayage?

    Hi thank you for your interest! My balayage starts at $150 for partial and starts at $200 for full!

    Hello! How much do you charge for a keratin treatment?

    Hi there! I charge $350 for Brazilian Blow out.

    I hate to leave reviews this long, but this experience was so unbelievable that I feel a…read moreresponsibility to share it with other people, especially when it comes to something as important as our hair. I booked a color and cut. My starting hair was a medium-dark brown with some red undertones, which is why I wanted it refreshed to a warmer, richer chocolate shade--nothing drastic, nothing near-black. In the salon, I selected the Level 4 chocolate brown swatch. I also looked at the Level 3 dark brown swatch and asked for her opinion. I told her I wanted my hair a little darker than it currently was, and she said she could mix a little of the dark brown into the chocolate brown. At no point did I choose Level 3 as the base of the formula or request anything close to a near-black result. When going into a salon and selecting a color from the book, it is the colorist's job to explain how that specific shade will read on your actual hair and to create the formula that will produce a result similar to the swatch you selected. If your hair is already dark and the swatch will pull much deeper, a professional should explain that clearly and adjust the formula. She did not do this. Instead, my hair came out significantly darker--almost black--nowhere near the chocolate brown I chose. I didn't notice how dark it truly was the night of the appointment because I was exhausted, nearly falling asleep in the chair, and it was already dark outside. The next day in natural light, I was shocked. I told my husband I was disappointed, but he said he liked it, so I tried to live with it for a few days. But it was just not what I was looking for at all. The haircut was just as bad. She cut a huge chunk in the front without angling it into the rest of the hair, and all the layers in the back were cut blunt with no blending, no texturizing, nothing. She styled it wavy with body, which masked how choppy it actually was. I was also floored by the pricing. Her website lists all-over color as $120+, and I fully expected to pay more for long hair--but not $250 for the color alone. She charged $250 for color, $75 for the haircut, and $65 for the blowout. The cut and blowout prices were reasonable, but the color price made no sense compared to what's listed online. I actually walked back inside afterward and told her I was shocked, and she adjusted the color price to $180. When I reached out looking for a solution--not a refund, just a correction--her tone over text was extremely unprofessional and dismissive. She insisted she "followed the shade I chose," even though I did not choose Level 3 and never asked for anything close to this result. She repeatedly contradicted herself by saying she followed the shade I picked, while also telling me my hair would naturally come out darker than the swatch because my hair was already dark--essentially admitting the result would never resemble the swatch I selected. I was so confused and taken aback by her refusal to collaborate that I decided to go into the salon to speak with the owner--only to find out that she is the owner. She refused to even look at the swatch next to my hair. I had to take the book myself, walk to the mirror, and compare it. When I asked her to come over and look, she said no because she wasn't going to do anything about it anyway. She even accused me of showing her a before picture that could have been from "5 years ago" which prompted me to scroll through my phone and show her that it was in fact from a few weeks ago and she still took 0 responsibility. Then she told me the only way to fix the color would be to bleach my hair for hours and that it would cost $1,000. Any trained colorist knows that is simply not true--she could have easily lifted the color and retuned it. The fact that she suggested extreme bleaching as the only option showed me she either doesn't have the proper education or simply didn't want to help. At that point, it became clear that she wasn't just unwilling to correct her own work -- she was refusing to acknowledge any responsibility at all. Between the incorrect color, the poor haircut, the inflated pricing, her dismissive tone over text, her refusal to look at the swatch, her refusal to offer any solution, and her claim that the only fix would be thousands in bleaching, I cannot recommend this salon to anyone. I now have to pay another professional to fix both the color and the cut. If you're considering booking here, I strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

The most concerning issue was the lack of cleanliness. The photos I've included were taken during both the initial appointment and the follow-up visit, and they show visible dirt, smudging, and buildup in client areas (walls, baseboards, and stations). This clearly was not a one-time oversight, but an ongoing issue. There were also concerns with tools being taken from drawers and appearing to be reused without clear sanitation, which added to the overall discomfort. On top of that, the results themselves were not satisfactory and required a return visit, which still did not resolve the problems. When I reached out to the salon to address this and request a refund, the response was not solution-oriented and instead required repeated justification. For a salon at this price point, basic standards like cleanliness, sanitation, and quality should not be in question.
