    after my cuuuute and much needed haircut
    Samantha A.

    Tay is everything you look for in a hairdresser. She is talented, understanding and so easy to get along with. For over 6 years I never looked into professional hair care until I came across her page her results are always perfect and beautiful! Every time I come in it feels like I'm visiting a friend. She listens and actually cares about what you want to be done. If you are looking for one of the most fabulous hairstylists this is the one :) thank you Tay for always making me feel so beautiful!!!!

    This happened back in January but it was just brought to my attention again. Stylist completely ghosted me after she canceled my appointment and my deposit was already given. A refund was requested to my bank because she never got back to me. It seemed like such a casual and normal occurrence by the way she gave no care.

    Tay is so friendly, kind, and talented at what she does! When I first came in, she really took the time to sit down and consult with me on what I wanted to get done. She throughly explained all the different treatments and their benefits. She gave an amazing massage when doing my hair treatment. Also, she is so much fun to have conversation with and made me feel super comfortable. I will definitely be coming to her again and have already scheduled my appointment.

    5 star service from Tay From booking to communicating, to the in person interaction to the services performed!!! It was all such a great and comfortable experience! She is such an awesome listener and informative as well. I really appreciated that she took the time into hearing me out on what I wanted, provided feedback and did a beautiful job! She is kind, funny and very talented! The vibes were positive and warm throughout the appointment. Definitely looking forward to booking again! Thank you Tay!

    Something different.

    Tay is super sweet and talented. I wanted a change and I asked for some layers w/ fringe bangs. I'm really picky with my hairstylist and Tay was the best person for me. I'm glad that I found her. Also her hair salon is super high tech, clean and warm welcoming. I would whole heartedly recommend her to my Fam, Friends and everyone!

    Tay KILLED IT, and when I say I was so anxious when it came to getting my hair cut, I was soso anxious but Tay made me feel so comfortable, was super friendly and fun to talk to, I came in not sure about what I wanted because this was my first professional salon cut! Tay helped me figure it out, overall such an amazing experience and amazing stylist i love it so much! Thank you Tay

    I have had the best hair cutting experiences with Tay so far. She not only gives you exactly what you're looking for but takes the time to really get to know her client and be there for you as a friend. She is so welcoming and sweet, haircuts just feel like a one on girl talk. I have been rebonding(straight perm) my long hair since middle school, since I have wavy hair. I knew I wanted to go back to my natural hair and she made me feel so confident in it. I wasn't used to short hair since I always had long hair but she executed it so beautifully. She not only cut my hair nice but she educated me on how to care for my hair, what products to use, the science of them and how I needed to focus more on moisture instead of protein(because I was just using olaplex) and how to style and blow dry my hair. I love Tay and my hair. My hair is the healthiest it's been too.

    My girl tay slayed my hair cut!! She did exactly what I wanted and her vibe was everything I'm very very satisfied and I need y'all to get slayed by her

    I've been going to her for all my hair needs--haircuts, layers, coloring, and styling--for about a year, and she consistently exceeds my expectations.

She didn't do the job correctly in the first attempt so I asked for an another appointment. I was very clear that I only color the part which shows gray hair but in the second appointment, instead of fixing the old problem , she thought it's easier to apply the color on the whole scalp. I kept telling her not to touch roots but she had her own explanations and continued to do what seemed correct to her. Now the results are : I have itchy scalp with lots of dandruff and roughness , specially the bottom part of my hair is badly damaged. Tremendous amount of hair fall which I never had in my life (clearly the color she applied had something in it ). Even though she said it's ammonia free, but while she was applying this color, I told her this is the first time I am feeling the itchiness and headache but her answer was , "oh I don't know why you feeling this way, it's probably your skin". She couldn't even get rid of black spots from my forehead after the wash. Although it wasn't the first time that I requested ammonia free hair color from this salon but it would definitely make me never going back there .

    Wow wow wow!! I've actually been going to Stefhanie for 4 years so I can confidently say her craft…read morehas been transforming and elevating year after year. I am absolutely in love with what she did with my hair this session. The color is spot on and actually better than my original inspo. Stefhanie is well educated in her suggestions and helped me decide what would be best for my hair goals. The whole process was informative and thorough. love that she takes her time but also times her bleach perfectly to avoid potential damage. I washed my hair for the first time after my appointment and it feels so healthy. The products she recommended helped lock in moisture and I appreciate that. Location wise This is a new studio and I prefer this over the previous salon she was in. It feels more intimate and private. The atmosphere is homey and relaxing. Aside from the salon and her skills, Stefhanie is also very easy to talk to and the 6 hours speed by like nothing! 5/5 stars please do yourself a favor and go here!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Stefanie! I trusted her with my dark black virgin Asian fine…read morehair for balayage -- twice now -- and both times she completely delivered. I came in with just a handful of TikToks showing the vibe I was going for, and she nailed it. My hair has genuinely elevated my confidence, and I get compliments all the time. Beyond the skill, Stefanie is a great hair resource. If you're like me and didn't know much about caring for treated hair or how to best style your hair, Stef is your go-to for advice. She is patient and will meet you where you are at. Also, her new private suite is such an upgrade. There's something special about having that one-on-one space. I joke that my three hours in her chair is basically therapy, because we can talk freely without the noise of a busy salon. It's comfortable, the music is on point, and the whole experience feels like a treat. Her prices are reasonable for the work she does, and she's accommodating when it comes to scheduling and listening to what you actually want. If you're on the fence about trusting someone with a big color change, Stefanie is your person.

I've always hated choppy layers, so I was happy that Michael was able to execute the haircut to my liking. My hair now looks healthy since he was able to cut all the dry ends off. He works fast but is meticulous. Michael is very sweet and knowledgeable regarding haircuts. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a great haircut without breaking the bank.

    Terrible. Absolutely disgusting. I am horrified. This is one of the most expensive, but most…read moreharmful, destructive, unprofessional Brazilian blowout appointments I've had in years. You pay between $550-$700 for the most low bar, unprofessional, under qualified service you will ever find, in all of the US. I worked with CRYSTAL at this branch for several appointments over 6 months. The last appointment was before thanksgiving. She decided to take two customers on the same day. Her technique was sloppy, rushed, and extremely violent with my already fragile, blonde hair. After washing, you are supposed to be very gentle with hair until product has been applied. You are supposed to part the hair gently with a comb, apply product to every strand, and gently brush through, then blow dry. She was butchering my hair. Using the brush (in picture) to YANK MY HAIR OUT OF MY SKULL while it was wet, without product, to get through the appointment as soon as humanly possible, and get overpaid, with no regard for my hairs health, or survival. It was an extremely painful, grueling experience. I was working and looking down during the appointment. I would look up when the pain from lumps of hair being pulled out of my skull would get too extreme, and ask her to please be gentle, because it hurts, and is also concerning. Instead of taking the feedback, and earning her overpriced service dollars, she lost it. She told me to be quiet, and threatened that she will abandon the service mid way. Imagine this: you're in the middle of a Brazilian blowout appointment, wet hair, half your hair has product, the other half doesn't. And you're told to shut up and stop complaining because you're in pain as your hair being butchered and you can feel it being yanked out of your skull. It's disgusting. And immature. And a sign that this person is not qualified to do this job. Afraid of her blowing up on me again, I stayed silent for the remainder of the appointment. I was screaming inside for hours as she kept pulling at my hair, yanking it out of my skull with every butcher-like strike at my head. I kept my mouth shut as her blow dryer was directed perpendicularly at my head and BURNED MY SCALP. I needed to use burn cream afterwards. I stayed silent as I saw her miss critical parts of my hair, knowing that these parts need more attention in order for the service to work. Not only that. I paid $550 of money she should not have earned, only to realize a day later, that the service didn't even work. It's as if no Brazilian blowout was even done. My hair was not straight. It was still curly at the roots in the front. Either she did not apply sufficient product to my hair or (more likely), the product she used was counterfeit. They dilute the product because the original Brazilian blowout is mostly out of stock in California. So they do this to keep getting clients, and increase the price. I've been doing Brazilian blowout regularly for the past 10 years. That's over 60 times. I know exactly how this service is done, and what your hair is supposed to look like afterwards. My hair had the exact same creases. It's as if the service never even took place. A waste of time, money, and most important, huge lumps of my hair. I also realized after medical consultations, that a huge chunk of my hair (in the back) was actually BURNED or BROKEN off because of the incorrect use of a "straightening iron." This happened within the 3-6 month period that I had been working with Crystal. I never use straightening irons or heating products at home. The only place where they are used are at the salon, while I'm doing Brazilian blowout. I came to this branch because I thought that being overpaid must also mean that you are qualified. I could not have been more wrong. Coming here has led to most of my hair being BROKEN off, thousands of dollars wasted, and deep regret. Do NOT come here. Even if it's the last place on Earth. You will be overcharged in order to lose all your hair, and get treated horribly. They truly do not deserve your business.

    It's my second time going to this salon. Love the result (just check out the video)! Highly…read morerecommend
