I have been seeing Audrey for about nine months now and she is the best stylist I have ever had…read more She always exceeds my expectations as far as my cut and color, in addition to being a joy to work with. We spent 6+ hours together as she brought me from light brown (with some faded auburn dye) to a beautiful light blonde with a blended root. With anyone else it might have been a rough appointment, but she made it fun and relaxing from start to finish. My hair still feels healthy and she always suggests what will maintain my blonde, all while working with my budget. She takes feedback like a champ and makes it easy to come to her with any tweaks I might want to make. Most recently, she gave me this gorgeous layered cut with fox tips the same color as my natural root, and I am obsessed! The salon environment is also very nice and elevated. Everyone I have interacted with has been very welcoming and kind. I highly recommend seeing Audrey and going to The State Co, you won't be disappointed!

We went into the apt very nervous after Monday's mishap which left my daughter absolutely devastated. Kirsty listened thoughtfully to my daughter's wants, set up a careful plan of action based on her recent color change and addressed her concerns with such sincerity. Within the first few minutes of her appointment my daughter was completely at ease and knew she was in good hands. Kirsty was warm and professional with her approach. The entire way home my daughter was raving about her hair and said she "found her new stylist and will never go to anyone else". Thank you Kirsty for your care, kindness, and the beautiful color! We can't wait to be back!

I showed Mercedes the TikTok video that I took inspo from and she executed it perfectly, I couldn't be happier! Outside of her artistic talent and experience, she is incredibly warm and such an easy person to talk to. My appointments usually take 3-4 hours, but time flies by so quickly because we are chatting it up! Throughout the years and watching her work with my hair, I can tell she has a keen eye for detail. Book your appointment, she won't disappoint!

I did my trial for my bridal shower and knew immediately I was in the right hands. She was so easy to talk to. We all know wedding hair and makeup takes a while, so it's nice to work with someone you can enjoy during that time. She was so nice, we had great conversation. On the wedding day, she took the two tiny little changes I wanted to make from the trial and executed them perfectly. I received so many compliments and the pictures turned out amazing! With HMU, you get what you pay for. I've learned that the hard way over the years being in other weddings. It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny. I had a friend tell me that was the one thing she wished she had paid a little more for on her wedding day and I am so glad I didn't have that regret. I literally couldn't have been more pleased with every bit of the experience working with Chantelle, including the results. Highly, highly recommend. I'll definitely be using her in the future for my HMU needs.

I went in to get a hair cut and silk press. The cut ended up great! Length and layers were…read moreexcellent. The silk press wasn't as great, hence my two stars. Unfortunately, my hair suffered some heat damage that I believe was due the the techniques they used to straighten my hair. I didn't notice any heat protectant being used and they did multiple passes through my hair with a flat iron and hot comb. They also didn't fully detangle my hair when it was wet so there was pulling and snagging when they did the blow dry. Overall, it left damage and some of my hair won't revert to its curls at all. There are stringy, permanently straight pieces of hair amidst the curls, which is a telltale sign of heat damage for my hair type. It's disappointing that there are various sections of my hair that feel stringy and broken by this process. I absolutely loved the friendless of the stylist and I want this family (mom+daughter) business to succeed, but I needed to give an honest report of how the health of my hair suffered.

I booked an appointment online at Classic Images for a root touch-up. The confirmed price was $88…read moreafter the automatic 20% discount was applied. However, when it was time to pay, the stylist told me that more color had been used and I was charged an additional $25. While the stylist did a great job, the extra charge did not seem fair. The website did not indicate that root touch-ups start at a certain price or that additional charges may apply based on the amount of color used. Because of the unexpected charge, I ended up leaving a smaller tip than I had planned, which I felt bad about since the stylist's work was good. I was very disappointed with the salon's pricing transparency, especially because it's a salon I like and have enjoyed visiting.
