(Realized I forgot my review in my drafts! So I'm posting it now!)…read more I usually give a salon multiple chances before writing a negative review--unless something seriously goes wrong. Unfortunately, in this case, it did. I've been here a few times for lashes and once previously for hair, and my first hair appointment was great. The stylist was gentle, communicative, and professional. I loved my hair, was shown products afterward, and happily purchased them. I left feeling taken care of. This second hair appointment was a completely different experience. I was greeted by a young stylist who seemed pleasant and understood what I wanted. However, once she began, I immediately noticed she had extremely long, sharp acrylic nails (about 1.5-2 inches). While I have nothing against acrylics--I wear them myself--there needs to be a limit in a professional setting, especially when working so closely with a client's scalp and hair. She colored my hair without gloves, which already made me uncomfortable. Throughout brushing, coloring, and washing, my hair repeatedly got caught in her lifting acrylics. My hair was yanked out multiple times, and at points it was genuinely painful. Holding a brush seemed difficult for her, and the brushing was rough and uncomfortable. The shampoo experience was by far the worst I've ever had. Normally, that's my favorite part of a salon visit. Instead, due to her nails, she couldn't properly massage or clean my scalp. The shampoo barely reached my roots, yet my hair was pulled the most at the bowl. My scalp was sore for two days afterward, to the point where brushing hurt. I'm a mom of three and a full-time college student, so self-care time is rare. I was really looking forward to relaxing--maybe even reading--but it was hard to focus through the discomfort. On top of that, the stylist seemed mentally checked out, asking me the same questions twice and lacking awareness of the situation. When the service ended, she simply removed my robe and said thanks for coming. No walk-out, no product recommendations. I had planned on purchasing shampoo, conditioner, and heat protectant again, but I left without anything. I still paid for the service and left a tip. After taking a few days to cool off, I felt this needed to be said. This experience was unsanitary, painful, and disappointing. My hair turned out "meh"--the haircut felt rushed, I didn't get the layers I asked for, and highlights alone don't make up for the experience. I truly loved coming here, but after this, it won't be my salon anymore. If you come here for hair services, I strongly recommend choosing a stylist whose nails allow them to work safely, hygienically, and comfortably--preferably ones that can fit inside gloves.

I've been on the hunt for a new barbershop for my five year old son as our previous place just…read morewasn't doing his hair the way I wanted, multiple times in a row. I found TBL on Yelp (as one does) and decided to give it a try because it's close to home. Appointments are required, so I made one about two weeks out for a Sunday morning. It's in secluded area, with a nice big parking lot. The shop is clean and modern and very bright. Everyone here is super nice. Rae did my son's hair and she did a great job (next time I'm gonna ask for a little more off the back because that boy's cowlick is INSANE). He was super happy with the cut and so was I. It's definitely pricier than what we usually pay, but her attention to detail and overall patience with him was worth it. My onlyyy irritation was that we were running on a super time crunch that day and we booked our appointment for 10 as it says appointments were required. Rae let me know when we got there that she was running a little behind and didn't even start cutting my son's hair til 10:30. Eeeek. For all I know the situation could've been out of her hands (maybe her previous client was late, I don't know) so I was gracious about it, but I wish I would've gotten a text or something so I wasn't sitting there with my antsy five year old for half an hour before he was seen. That said, I still plan on booking my son with her again and hope the late start was just a one off. :)

I absolutely recommend her, as I will definitely book with her again in the future! We had the best conversations, and she gave me my dream hair! The salon was so fun overall. It seemed like they had a lot of cool stuff going on. This time, as I entered, I saw they had an event for permanent jewelry, and I'm still upset I didn't get one! But the place was nice, bright, and clean. They also offered complimentary drinks like dirty sodas, which I gladly accepted! I also learned they had a bunch of other services besides just hair care! Also, the pricing was honestly the best I've seen in the area for good-quality service and a colorist who knew what they were doing! I felt so pampered and taken care of here; I could tell many of the other customers around me were repeat clients, which is always a great sign! If you're looking for blonding, absolutely book with Brianna Tolle. I know I will again in the future!

I spent a year getting maintenance trims while growing out an undercut, so I was overwhelmed with ideas for how I wanted to revive my hair once it grew out to an acceptable length. I figured I'd give some broad ideas I had and defer to her judgment once we met and bless her, she totally understood what I was going for within mere sentences! I've never felt such immediate trust and comfortability in a stylist. It's insane how much you dont realize your hair impacts your self esteem when it's been in a state for some time. I could feel my personality getting bigger (or rather, coming back) as she cut off all this length and I watched her transform my hair. My cup truly runneth over with joy once it was complete! I felt like a whole new woman and I could not stop checking myself out. Hell, I'm still checking myself out! I truly did not and still don't know how to act since. I've been riding this high all week, and honestly I may never come down from it! Not just a sign of a fantastic haircut, but of an even more fantastic stylist. She's incredibly kind and you can tell she's passionate about her craft and her clients. I cannot recommend her enough! And I'll never stop!! Thank you so much, Jessie!
