The salon itself is very comfortable with ample waiting room chairs (not that I've ever waited more than a few minutes), and complimentary beverages. The cleanliness and quality of the business is top notch. Highly recommended. Be sure to call to make an appointment first.

I don't often leave reviews, but I feel compelled to give Cassandra a special shoutout for an…read moreincredible job. My standard MO is to grow my hair out long, and then cut it super short (I'm talking chin-length). The problem is, I've struggled to find stylists who are willing to take me as short as I tell them I want to go. I've had to tell many stylists to keep going shorter, millimeter by millimeter, until I'm tired of sitting in the chair and just say it's fine. I've also had many stylists who either haven't listened or haven't been able to capture the style I want (a shaggy pageboy/bixie, NOT a blunt bob!). Cassandra was the first stylist I've had in YEARS who got it. We spent the first 15 or so minutes of my appointment on a consultation - not just me showing her photos of styles, but her asking specifically what my hair care routine is/how much time I want to spend styling, how I want it to grow out, etc. Then she took the time to bring the style to life - consulting me as she went to make sure it's where I wanted to go, and going back over places she felt needed more work. She was super focused, but also chill, funny, and easy to chat with for the hour appointment. It's been years since I felt like I haven't had to "settle" for a haircut. I will definitely be going back to Cassandra. Bonus points to the salon for just having a nice atmosphere overall.

I did not hear one whine or complaint and her haircut was adorable! My son's haircut last Looked great too. He hopped right up on the chair and seemed to just love her. I was so pleased with my own haircut as well. My hair is curly and a lot of people don't know how to cut it, but Sarah did a great job. I love it. Highly recommend!

I went here a few months back and never put in a review. Seeing how they are not listed in Yelp I…read morefind them worthy to be added. It was easy to make an appointment over the phone and I absolutely loved how my hair came out. It's a super clean cute place right in the main part of town, parking was also not bad (but could depend on time of day). The only downfall is they are a tad too into their app/texting. I was fine paying a deposit and able to do it over the phone since I can't imagine running a business with people not showing up and taking times from paying customers. I can also receive reminder texts but clicking links in texts for checking in and paying are banned. Seemed they were a little uneasiness with this on their end, but I kept calling to confirm I was showing up. Could restrict older folks or other people with technical restrictions from coming in. Regardless - Great local salon with fair pricing and friendly staff.

I am so very protective of my hair. I have not let anyone touch it for years. I have had people…read moremess my hair by cutting it to short, or doing the absolute complete opposite of what i wanted. Others they just couldn't do it. So I went many years with no one just me trimming. Well I work at a laundromat and met a women named Michelle Bessett who does hair for a living, for 35 years she's done this. When you walk in there its very inviting, people talking, a good song on the radio, it was just welcoming. Met with a smile. decided to give her a shot. Her hair always looks amazing, A few of my friends go there and they always come out looking like movie stars. I prepaid so that I can't back out like I always do. I went in and told her what I wanted. ( Trim and layered so that my curls will go up my head instead of just on the bottom) she was amazing!!!! She was so understanding of my anxiety and talked me through it. She showed me how much she cut as she was cutting. She was so patient. I actually relaxed and was just enjoying the haircut and talking. She did amazing ! Yall really should go to her and let her do her Magick. Especially if you have a very nervous or scared person. You will definitely not be disappointed! Check out my hair. I am so over the moon!!! She will forever be my hair dresser!!!

One time we were there for over an hour as they had a new person learning to cut hair and my son sat in chair for an hour. Then they made a comment to me along the lines of "he did a good job sitting even though it says otherwise on the computer". Are you serious? He is 6 and sat in a chair for an hour while you learned to cut hair. Today my son got into the chair and the lady asked how to cut it. I said shorter and she said "I need some direction". I mean you dont have to give me attitude. Sorry I dont know the lingo of using a 2 on the sides and a 3 on top or whatever; although I highly doubt if I went in and said that she would know anyways. My son left today with a haircut that is crooked on the front and has tufts sticking out randomly. Maybe if you suggest "cut it well" that would help them. Pros : quick Cons: rude, bad at cutting hair, and costs more than a barber. We will be looking for a barber and I suggest you do the same.

I would warn anyone considering becoming a client. His personality is fairly vicious and…read moreunpredictable. He's quick to insult his clientele. I asked for a change of style and he implied with a swish of his hand around my hair ("maybe it's not THIS that's the problem"), then he pointing at my face ("maybe it's THIS that's the problem for you"). Incredibly rude. Not professional or acceptable at all. The opposite result I wish to attain from a day at the salon, which is mean to make the client feel better, not worse. Save your time and money for a stylist who respects their clients and appreciates your consistent business.
