She is kind, generous, and such a perfectionist. You won't ever have to worry about not liking something because I trust she will catch it first. Her craft is unique and very much her own.

Don't forget to ask about her hair growth oil. The environment is clean, friendly, and family oriented. Not to mention, it's located downtown, so before or after your appointment, you can grab coffee, ice cream, or just walk around.

I have a lot of gray so my hair can be hard to work with - Jenna took the time to not only consult with me but did an exceptional job with the cut and color. I will definitely be returning! The rest of the staff made for a very welcoming environment - Amanda another co - worker even stepped in to assist! That's what I call teamwork! Highly recommend this salon - and Jenna and Amanda!

I made my appointment at noon and I was helped as I entered. I felt welcomed and made feel comfortable by Jenna. She did my haircut with care and attention to detail.

This was by far my best haircut ever and I will for sure be coming back to Faust for my next haircut. If you want a food haircut, and with excellent service, I would highly recommend Faust, and Jenna for your next haircut or hairstyle needs. Thank you Jenna!!

When you find someone who can do miracles with your hair, you remain loyal if you know what is good for you and your hair. In 2015, my hair was frizzy and damaged.

I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I have been regrowing my hair after…read morechemotherapy-induced alopecia and was very anxious to have anything done to it, but Megan made me feel so calm about the entire experience. My hair had grown back curly and crazy and I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't come in with an idea of what I wanted done, just that I wanted to feel more like myself on my upcoming wedding day. Megan advised a Keratin treatment and extensions, neither of which I had done before. With these options, I was able to style my hair without having to cut any of it off (something I really didn't want to do). I feel more like myself than I have in over two years and it truly is Megan's expertise to thank! I can't recommend her enough to anyone going through something similar.

I absolutely love this place and Camila is amazing at doing small colorful extensions in my hair!…read moreShe was so wonderful at fixing my hair when I was the one that screwed it up! So I came here for the first time right when things started opening up again. And I was in a major need of hair help. I tried to dye part of my hair pink by myself and failed miserably. I have dark brown hair, so I had to bleach it. Well, of course my hair just turned orange. Then when I tried to apply pink hair dye to it, it didn't take, so I just had a weird orange streak in my hair for a while. It was annoying me, so eventually I just decided to cut it off....mistake....don't do that! But anyways....here I come rolling into Arrow with almost a partial bowl hair cut where the streak I cut out is and the rest of my hair super long (it looked terrible, yes, lol). I ask Camila about extensions, and even though I only had a haircut scheduled, she made time to go ahead and put in extensions since her next appointment wasn't for a bit, and completely saved my hair and my self-esteem lol. And both the haircut and the extensions looked awesome!!! Exactly what I wanted! Maybe even better than I had hoped for, because I kinda thought I had ruined my hair to a point where it couldn't be fixed lol. Also love the time she takes to shampoo my hair! One of the best feelings is someone else washing your hair! Also, she's super friendly and knows when I want to talk and when I want to sit in silence! And I went back since and she put in a new blue streak in my hair which I also love, though I think I'll go back to the pink streak next time. She made me love extensions and discover a new thing that I absolutely adore. This is definitely part of my hair routine now, keeping up with a streak of color extension. It makes me feel so much more like me and it's super cute! I also recommended Camila to my sis when she visited my from the East Coast, and she loved her color extension as well! Will keep coming back for Camila to do my extensions and haircuts!

Not only is it the go-to spot for cutting-edge hair styling (I get my mohawk dyed platinum here!), but the energy on First Fridays is off the charts. I DJ there each month, dropping some fatty beats, and the owner sets the perfect scene by providing complimentary drinks to keep the party going. There's always a cool mix of people dancing, browsing the hip clothing selection, or getting styled. The salon transforms into a mini dance floor, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the fun. If you want a place that's got killer style, awesome tunes, and a community vibe, OXY Salon is where it's at. Highly recommend checking it out on First Fridays--it's a blast!

I trust her to keep things the same when it's working and help me figure out how to switch it up when it's time for a change. I'm not a hair stylist, so I really appreciate Farzaneh's ability to talk through what's possible and realistic to expect for my hair type (and my preference for low-maintenance daily styling). She has recently opened up appointments earlier in the day (7 a.m. on some weekdays!) which is perfect for my work schedule. Her salon is so relaxing and private with space for one client at a time, and I love getting my hair done with a view of the little garden area outside. Great hair, great company, and a haircut experience that feels more like a self-care ritual than just checking a box on my to-do list.
