I recently got highlights done by Justine, and I can honestly say this was more than just a hair appointment, it was a full experience. I love my new highlights - but what stood out to me is how much she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in every detail. From the moment I sat down, I felt taken care of. The little touches--like the shoulder and hand massage, the calming scent of lavender, and the overall hospitality--made it feel really special and intentional. She's also very mindful about the products she uses, incorporating plant-based elements that make the whole experience feel like aromatherapy. It's not just about leaving with beautiful hair (which I did), but about how you feel during the process--relaxed, cared for, and restored. If you're looking for someone who is not only talented but truly passionate about her craft, Justine is it. read more

Wow just wow! Wanna get your hair done and get spoiled. Visit Justine! Studio space is something kind of special, it's airy yet cozy and best of all it tidy. No evidence of anyone there before you not one chunk of hair on the floor, no dirty towels insight; just a beautiful studio. It's talk about hair- I went in for a haircut little did I know it was going to include head and shoulder massage - This is when Justine gets to know your hair and understand what kind of service looking for. I color my hair quite a bit, and while in the washable Justine suggested doing a moisturizing treatment. That's when the pampering continued not only did she put a hair treatment in my hair but while it was sitting she gave a hand and arm massage. At the end of all of this my hair felt great, the cut was exactly what we discussed. I didnt want to wash my hair that week because the blow out she gave me was awesome. read more

I love the White Opal! Justine always does such a wonderful job with my hair. She always takes the time to sit down and chat through my vision for my hair on the day of our appointment. I also appreciate how much she values the guest experience. I always enjoy my visits and couldn't reccomend it more! read more

The White Opal experience is truly unique. From the moment you walk in, it's so different in a great way. For starters, Justine is there to greet you and ensure your arrival and discovery were pleasant. And then there's a delicious scent of cookies and if you're a cookie fan such as myself...mmmmm! What a comforting way to begin a journey. Having read the previous reviews it was beyond all the raves and one you should experience yourself. I found it challenging to find a salon that uses healthier products that are free or with minimal chemicals of concern. Justine has done her research and offers great advice, solutions, and these products. My hair looked and felt great after Justine did her magic. I sat in the chair, she listened to me and some how managed to provide an exceptional cut, tint (without ammonia), and style. On top of all that, the unexpected massages and warm towels were over the top and relaxing. My experience was so exceptional that I'm sharing this with you and it's my first Yelp review ever. I also booked my next visit before I left and I'm returning in a week for a wash and blowout. Really, that great! I hope you enjoy your experience with Justine and her White Opal as I have. read more

I was looking for a local place to get a haircut while my current stylist was out on maternity leave when I found this gem of a salon on Yelp. I was skeptical at first because there were no ratings but after my cut I couldn't wait to brag about my positive experience and the attention to detail that I witnessed as a new customer of this salon. Justine is both knowledgeable and intuitive -- she totally nailed the haircut I wanted right on my first visit. Not only did I get such a cute cut, I felt completely spoiled with the way she treated me as a new customer. Most of the time, when I get a haircut it doesn't come with a massage. Her cut came with aromatherapy, shoulder massage, scalp massage, hair treatment, hot towel, and even a hand massage. I felt so relaxed by the time she was halfway done preparing me for my cut. Before I left, she even gave me an adorable new client welcome gift bag! The salon itself is modern and nicely decorated, and there were plenty of parking around the facility making it a very convenient spot. read more

I had a five star experience at the White Opal with owner Justine. The five stars are for her level of knowledge, communicating her ideas and after care suggestions, to include her listening to what I was trying to achieve. Attention to detail is what sets Justine apart from the other salons. Ambience and a couple of other unexpected treats just made the experience as a whole a class act. Im happy with the outcome and elated to have found someone who not only knows their craft but does it with pride and great professionalism. read more

Where to start! Not only is Justine super personable and kind, but she is AMAZING at what she does. She treats your experience like her own personal piece of art. Her professionalism without fail entails getting to know you, your visual tastes and plans, and of course the health and longevity of your hair. Justine refuses to use harsh chemicals and brands that do not nurture your natural hair. All natural and organic products, including Aveda, Davines, and DoTerra products. She also makes her own body butters and lip balms! Justine is great at communicating what she will do with your hair, with the focal point being what YOU want. With Justine, you will have no surprises other than how great you will feel after the appointment! Will not forget to mention how cute and elegant her shop is. Art from different local artists, including her own, with books, flowers, lollipops, and even a bit of champagne to tip off the experience! The vibe is real. Get with it! read more

Okay. I honestly cannot put to words of how amazing Justine is! As soon as you walk into The White Opal, you immediately feel a sense of purity & positivity. From the music to the scents to the inviting art around the room, it's definitely a one of a kind top shop! I came in on a Thursday to get some TLC on my locks that I shamefully haven't been taking care of. I explained to Justine of my vision & MY GIRL PULLED THROUGH & MADE MY VISION INTO REALITY. The entire experience itself was just beyond phenomenal. Justine definitely inserts herself into her work & artistry to create my look. I couldn't have asked for a better experience of just honest girl talk, with hand & neck massages! If you are looking for someone who values hospitality, the care of your hair & will make your vision come true, Justine at The White Opal is your girl! Thanks again Justine! See you in a few months for my touch up! read more

If you're looking for a friendly, personable, and trustworthy stylist for your locks. Justine is the one! I've been a client of Justine's since she was in cosmetology school.

She has created a serene, comfortable, and spa-like energy in her shop. Justine has been amazing in styling and coloring my curly hair, giving me the results I am looking for each and every time. She educates while she is working, making each trip so valuable. If you're looking for a new stylist, give her a shot and let her work her magic. You won't be disappointed! read more

I've been getting my hair cut by Justine for several years now and she always does a great job! I have a cowlick that really sticks out if my hair is cut wrong, which was always a problem for me and has been a "hit and miss" with others that have cut my hair, but never with Justine! The relaxing music, scalp massage, hot towel wrap on the face and even a hand massage if I like, add to the experience and really makes my day when I go to see her! Also worth mentioning is that it is conveniently located at the end of one of my favorite shopping areas that includes Massage Envy, Big 5 and Rite Aid, Mr Pickles and more! Kudos Justine! And CONGRATS on your new salon, the White Opal! It's the best! read more

Justine is the most talented person ever to cut and shape my hair. She is extremely professional and very experienced in what she does. I'll be getting my haircut here from now on! read more

Ahhhhhmaaaaazing!!! Justine is truly phenomenal!! I came in for a perm and haircut. I know what you're thinking.. who gets a perm in 2019!? I was craving more texture in my bone straight hair and desperately needed a trim as well. I was instantly greeted with a head and shoulder massage with a hand picked essential oil. Justine provided a thorough and in depth consultation where we talked about what type of texture, curl pattern, and cut I was looking for. I got exactly what I was looking for and my hair has never looked or felt better. I wouldn't trust my hair in anyone else's chair but Justine's. Truly the best in town! read more
