I needed my roots touched up and a cut to reshape my current style. My hair is fairly short. I did not receive my same haircut, in fact I cut it when I could inspect it more when I arrived home. I went to pay for what I now was clearly becoming distraught about, and I was told my bill was $550. I gasped! I did not even have a full color, I has in the shop for less than an hour, this would have bought me more than two haircuts and colors at my regular salon. I asked for the breakdown in price and was not given one. This is outrageous! Not to mention I cut my own hair when I arrived home. I have no words. I like to support local businesses but I was fleeced!! If you are considering this salon get a detailed menu of the price breakdown. Dawn H.

She came home crying and told me they charged her 300 DOLLARS!! for the color and what was supposed to be a haircut. There was no haircut. She is a college student working to help pay tuition $300 is a weeks pay for her. I went the next day to find out how it could possibly be so expensive and the rudest, most annoying little fake smiling person told me she had "problem" hair and didn't have some mysterious coupon for the haircut. I can't even explain how smarmy and annoying this woman was. She said "have a nice day" and walked away. I have never left a negative review of anything or anyone in my life. I wish giving negative stars was possible. They would have earned 100.

Cecilia was absolutely amazing as my wedding makeup and hair artist! I originally did a trial with…read moreone look in mind, but on the wedding day decided I wanted something different for both hair and makeup. Cecilia was incredibly accommodating and took the time to ask thoughtful questions so she fully understood my new vision. For the first look and ceremony, she created a beautiful natural makeup look that made me feel like the best version of myself. Later for the reception, she transitioned me into a soft glam look that was absolutely stunning. I felt beautiful all day while still feeling completely like myself, which was so important to me. My friends kept telling me how stunning I looked and that Cecilia completely knocked it out of the park. She also did makeup for all of my bridesmaids and both moms, and everyone loved their looks. Cecilia really took the time to personalize each person's makeup so everyone felt comfortable and confident. My mom initially wasn't fully sure about her eyebrow color, and Cecilia immediately listened to her feedback, asked more questions, and quickly adjusted it until it matched exactly what my mom had envisioned. Beyond being incredibly talented, Cecilia was calm, professional, and wonderful to work with on such an important day. I would highly recommend her to any bride looking for someone who truly listens and delivers beautiful, personalized makeup!

I have no idea what happened to my review so here it is again…read more The receptionist sets the tone for the whole business. It is an extremely important job. It is not easy. You are dealing with many personalities. A really good receptionist knows how to make a customer always want to come back. Here is my experience tonight. I am horrified. I called yesterday. I gave the salon more than 24 hours notice just as I was told to do. I spoke to a lovely receptionist. I explained to her that heavy storms were coming in with many warnings. I did not want to drive in this weather. They were predicting tornados, hail and heavy winds. She was absolutely lovely to talk to and understood. I also explained to her that I did not want to get a fee for rescheduling. She said she understood and would take care of it. She also told me to call in the morning and let them know once I saw what the weather was like. I followed her advice and immediately called in the morning. I rescheduled my appointment. No problem, At 6:30 tonight Gail called (the other receptionist.) as obnoxious as can be and told me I did not follow the rules. She was going to place a fee on me. I believe it was $25. She kept saying we talked about this and would not stop. I honestly thought she was a broken record. I followed the rules. I did nothing wrong. I will tell you the right does not know what the left is doing. There is no communication between receptionists. This was a power trip and under no circumstances she was going to win. She was determined. That was obvious. Salons are customer service oriented. You have to be this way if you are going to keep your customers. They want the customers to be relaxed by their services. I don't know if Gail got off the wrong side of the bed or if something was going on in her life. She sure took it out on me. I am not going to tolerate this behavior. Nobody should. I wonder if the owners know how she is treating the customers. She cancelled my appointment because she said I did not follow the rules. At this point, I hung up on her. Nobody should ever be treated this way under any circumstances. It was horrifying to say the least. If you want to be abused by a receptionist then I would recommend going here. I am just flabbergasted by the way I was treated. I am in the salon every month. I am not a walk in. I am also surprised that neither of the owners reached out to me. This says it all!
