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.

I honestly cannot say enough amazing things about Tori! She is truly so talented at what she does…read more I have trusted her with both sew-in and tape-in extensions, and I have been absolutely thrilled with the results every single time. I see her every 4 weeks for base color and extension maintenance. Tori is incredibly meticulous and takes her time to make sure everything is done perfectly, from the placement and blending to making sure that my extensions look natural, feel comfortable, and work with my very fine hair. She never rushes through an appointment, and you can tell how much pride she takes in her work and how much she genuinely cares about making sure her clients leave happy. My hair always looks full and natural, and I constantly get compliments on it. One of the things I appreciate the most is that she is cares about the health of my natural hair while still giving me the look I want. It is so hard to find someone that you completely trust with your hair, especially when it comes to extensions, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found that in her. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for color, cut, extensions or simply someone they can trust to make their hair look amazing. She is truly the best!

She truly listens to what you want and somehow makes your hair look even better than you imagined every single time. I always leave her chair feeling beautiful and excited about my hair. I can't recommend her enough!

It's taken me a while to write this because I wasn't sure I wanted to, but I feel it's important to…read moreshare my experience. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in both the customer service and the final result. First, scheduling was a nightmare. The last three times I tried to book, my stylist was unavailable the day of due to internal errors and turnover. Second, I paid specifically for the owner this most recent time, yet most of the work was done by assistants (teenagers and college students). To make matters worse, the salon was unbearably hot- no AC while sitting in foils for hours- I've literally NEVER experienced this at a professional salon. After three hours, my formerly brown hair looked nothing like the reference photo (lighter blonde). They offered to redo it -again with an assistant- but still charged for additional highlights, bringing my total to over $500 (despite being quoted $200-$300 with no notice about the price difference until I was checking out). What made me decide to write this review, however, was an off-putting comment from the owner. After a young girl came in with her father for a quote, the owner laughed about how expensive it would be because she "had dark thick Mexican hair." The assumption, tone, and laughter were unprofessional at best and offensive at worst. I ended up going to Headlines to have my hair corrected and had a fantastic experience there. Based on everything above, I would not recommend this salon. I honestly don't think these stylists know how to style or color dark, thick hair like mine (respectfully) :/

Beware of price gouge rip off by stylist Wendy Fata! The Garage salon has no website to see prices…read more When I called for a roots touch up appointment I was told Wendy had availability. Since she wasn't in at the time, so I asked Janea the owner what Wendy charges. She said she "didn't know." Why would she claim not to know? They work there together, so I'm not buying it! I went for the appointment figuring the cost would be the typical $60 to $80 rate. Wendy charged me an outrageous $190 FOR A SIMPLE ROOTS TOUCH UP & BLOW DRY! No haircut involved. As she told me the price she said, "no need to add a gratuity, it's included in the price. SHE JUST ADDED IN A TIP FOR HERSELF WITHOUT MY PERMISSION! Who does that? It's so unprofessional, unethical and scammy! Her cost was already appallingly over the top for a simple roots job! Why does she think she deserves a tip on top of that? I should never have paid that inflated amount. I called Wendy Wendy when I got home to ask if she could give me some credit back for the overcharge. She said she'd consider it and call me back. She never called. I would NEVER have agreed to a $190 roots fee if I was given an honest answer when I called to ask the price. DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY WENDY! Demand to get a price before you make an appointment. Better yet, go somewhere else with reasonable, not ridiculous fees and deceptive "gratuities."

My hair feels lighter, has so much more shape and dimension, and still has the length I love. Bert is talented, creative, and clearly passionate about what he does.

Bri goes above and beyond to create the perfect ambiance for a truly relaxing experience. She dims the lights, incorporates scented candles, plays a calming playlist, provides a cozy blanket, and adjusts the chair to make sure you're in the most comfortable and relaxing position possible. Her head massage techniques were phenomenal! Between the different combs, massage tools, and techniques she uses, I was able to completely immerse myself in the experience and genuinely felt like I was able to unwind. The hand and arm massage at the end was also such a thoughtful finishing touch! The haircut portion was just as amazing. Bri takes the time to educate you on the maintenance required for different haircuts and helps recommend styles that complement your specific face shape. I really appreciated how knowledgeable and attentive she was throughout the entire process. Plus, you get to enjoy a nice, warm cup of coffee while she works her magic! Beyond her incredible skills, Bri is so personable, welcoming, and easy to talk to. She truly creates an experience rather than just providing a service, and you can tell she genuinely cares about making her clients feel comfortable and confident. If you're considering booking with her, BOOK WITH BRI ASAP! You will not regret it. I'm already looking forward to my next appointment!
