    Noelle is the best! She gave me the exact haircut i wanted and was so sweet and accommodating. Highly recommend her.

    Noelle is the best! Gave me my dream haircut and didn't cut it too short like all the other salons do. She is so sweet and accommodating and pays attention to detail. Highly recommend booking with her.

    Thanks BELLA. She cut my hair perfectly and asked well thought out questions before cutting. We had a really good convo the entire time as the time passed by. Took about 2.5 hours. We used Dyson products and talked about that as well. Overall, it's a pleasure being a model here because of the tight pricing. I love this spot. Thank you once again!

    I'm sad to say that for a salon of such stellar reputation I had an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience here. All said and done, I paid over $900, across three salon visits, totaling 10 hours, to have worse hair than when I walked in :( I booked Lindsay for a haircut and Emily for color, I came in with strawberry blonde hair looking for a bolder red color, with example photos, and specifically asked for absolutely no cool tones. When I was back in the chair and my hair was drying, right away it was far too dark and looked purple. Emily came over and said she was leaving for the day, asked what I thought of the color, and said it would fade up to what we talked about after a few washes. My roots were a noticeably different color and tone than the rest of my hair, and my hair looked duller and damaged but I trusted the process and her expertise. For my haircut, I like Lindsay and had seen her once before. That being said, her next client had already arrived as she got to my chair, and I would estimate she spent a total of 10 minutes on my cut. I have long hair, and I asked for blended, even layers, dead ends removed, and facial framing to blend in my growing out bangs. I had to point out a few spots that didn't look right and she made those adjustments, but after seeing a photo of my hair from behind a few days later I was absolutely floored at how bad the cut looked. Choppy and uneven layers, sparse and unhealthy ends, just bad. I called to come in and have my color fixed by Emily and was told she only had one appointment before leaving for two weeks, so I arranged to leave work early at significant expense to myself, only to sit in a chair for over an hour and 15 minutes because she was running behind. By the time she got to me I had 20 minutes before having to go back to work. She did a quick tone as a temporary fix, and while it did help slightly and I'm grateful for that, the color was still very far off what I asked for and my roots were still different than the rest of my hair. Two weeks later when Emily was back, I came in for the third time, with the same reference photos for color and the photo of my haircut by Lindsay and asked if there was some better way I could be communicating because honestly I was at a loss at how poorly this had gone. Emily agreed to dial in the color, and they'd have someone fix the cut. Emily suggested we do highlights to lighten my roots to match the rest of my hair, and then tone the color all over. The problem is, and in retrospect feels like should have been obvious, is at this point I had three weeks of root growth so all this did was create a halo of bright blonde hair on my roots and did not fix the fact that the top four inches of my hair were a dark magenta while the rest was red. She toned it one more time and that lifted nearly all the color out, making my hair look pink with blonde highlights, which I said, and then it was toned again, basically to the same color I had before ever coming in, but with bright blonde roots, less shine, and still uneven in color and tone. At this point I felt like I was taking crazy pills and didn't want to sit at the sink a fourth time so I was done. Alyssa Wood gave me a haircut to fix what was missed with Lindsay and did an absolutely wonderful job. She was lovely to talk to, thorough, gave me exactly what I'd asked for, and is the only reason this review isn't only one star. Outside of that, no apologies were made, no refunds were offered, and no matter how often and sincerely I tried to thank everyone for their time I still felt like I was getting irritated energy from some staff throughout the whole process. I'm not usually one to leave negative reviews, and consider myself a pretty reasonable person, but this entire experience was a bizarre train wreck. At this point it was over four months ago, and watching my hair slowly grow out with a thick strip of magenta toning, a bright line from where my roots were highlighted, and the rest of my hair duller and dryer than it was before continues to frustrate and bum me out. Apparently enough to be a Karen and write about it online.

    I had my hair colored recently with Julia Donofree and the whole experience was perfect I had to write a review. The Salon: Parking is bizarrely easy, considering it's on 3rd. Plus, the salon is inviting and feels refreshingly down to earth, considering how upscale it is. There's no snobby vibes - just lovely people doing their job really well. The Color: Not only is Julia an expert in her field - but she is an absolute delight. I'm 37 and have A LOT of gray, so I went to have them 'dealt with.' She told me she could blend them and take me back to my natural hair color from childhood. I trusted her immediately bc it was so obvious she cared so much. The conversation was friendly and fun and the time flew by. Through the whole appointment, she communicated clearly, making sure we were on the same page. She is so deeply invested in what she does - it seems to be simultaneously an art form and a labor of love. When I left the salon, my hair looked awesome - and once the color set/settled in over the next couple days, it looked even better. It's my natural honey blonde I hadn't seen in decades. It's been 6 weeks since I had it colored and I am probably 4-6 weeks out from needing another appointment. Honestly, I cannot recommend Julia highly enough.

    $100 to $250 for a men's cut. Way too expensive for me.

This is my warning to others that are going here to have straightening done. Don't rely on her to tell you it's not right for your hair. To top it off when I called to tell her she did not apologize, she did not act as though she felt bad her response was not caring at all. Not to mention she didn't offer any advice or a refund. Now it will take me years to get my hair healthy and I'm so upset.

Anya is incredibly talented, patient, and kind.

I said I had another appt after but that would be fine. I arrived and sat down and waited. They said I was checked in. I waited one hour before going to the front desk to say that now, I would not have time to do the appt because, as I told them, I would have to leave for another appt. I had allotted 2 hours and now there was only 1 hour left and I had not even been seen or sent for hair washing. All the while I waited, I could see Sal doing at least 2 other people's hair. When I asked the front desk if I could reschedule, they said they would talk to him. Several minutes passed. Sal was aware that I was there, but chose not to speak to me himself. He chose not to even take two minutes to face me and apologize. He was going to Mexico the next night, and could only offer the next day during hours I had to work. The salon manager apologized for Sal and offered another hair dresser. I have curly hair and want someone experienced in curly hair- especially when the haircut is right before my wedding and will cost hundreds of dollars. I think the worst part was that Sal was right there but simply didn't have the courtesy to apologize. I will never return to this salon. As for my wedding in two weeks, I have asked my makeup artist to help me find someone.

I didn't realize or forgot they have parking in front and they will even run out to pay your meter for you if needed. I just parked in the neighborhood nearby. Salon vibes are so chill and inviting. Coffee and water provided too. A no pressure vibe which I loved. No product pushing, no pressure whatsoever when describing what you are trying to get.

It's possible this takes time. Cait spent time with me. She encouraged me to say more and made me feel comfortable (read: not-stupid) as I probably talked out of both sides of my mouth and stumbled through my wants, needs, pictures, let-downs, etc. Look, I don't care who's hair you've colored, or "red carpet" this, "social media following" that blah blee blah.

Caitlin, you should be really proud of this business. Ok. SO: I hesitate to comment on/share price and service-time because every blonde really is unique BUT since that's probably the info you're looking for, I'll say this: Re price: Not inexpensive ALTHOUGH more than fair (even before you consider comps at other salons) Re time: It takes as long as it takes.
