    Had an appointment with Queen and she did an amazing job with my hair. I asked for half baylage mushroom brown which can be difficult to achieve but came out perfect! [[HIGHLIGHT]]She really listened to my requests.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also Queen has a great bubbly personality which made the time go by quickly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I always trust these ladies to get me looking right and feeling confident before special events.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This was my third time visiting the salon. Every time I need my hair looking its best, I go to Queen. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I panicked a little after making last minute plans, but thankfully, she was able to squeeze me in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Her team is so quick (had me in and out of there in an hour) and I love her work. Such a cute, girly spot, plus they've always got good music on.

    I had an appointment for a grey blending at 9:30 am, but Andrea arrived at 10 am. I had been waiting for 30 min standing in front of the door. I had made it clear via texts that I wanted grey blending and that if they thought the hair was healthy enough, they could add some highlights. Instead, I received balayage, and the bleach was left on my hair for four hours. When I washed it, the bleached hair looked partially white, tangled, and many of the strands broke down and fell off. She then added a dark color to the roots and toner, basically covering up the highlights. Also, stain of color were left on face and forehead. Update after owner reply: The dark root was not done at my request -- that claim is completely false. I specifically asked Andrea for grey blending, which was not done. I also requested a lighter color on the roots, but she said it wouldn't look nice with the rest of my hair. Additionally, I asked both you (via text, which I still have) and Andrea to evaluate the condition of my hair before proceeding. If, as you stated, the hair was already so damaged, why did your team still move forward with such a harsh treatment? Maybe you want to take some responsibility for the poor quality of service provided, instead of placing the blame on the client.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was able to get an appointment the same day and got the service I expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I asked for a trim on my long layers and with face framing and it looks great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was kind of after hours so it was quiet but my stylist was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The absolute best hair salon you could ever go to! The place is decorated so cute and comfy. They had snacks that kept my daughter happy while getting her hair done. My daughter got a haircut and some purple streaks in her hair for her birthday and I got a cut as well. I have never had such a thoroughly detailed haircut before, and the owner really brought my vision to life and gave me the exact bangs and layers I was looking for. I was also worried that a good amount of inches would have to be cut off because my hair felt really dead/fried at the ends, but somehow she restored the health of my hair and kept the majority of my length. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone who works there is welcoming and the owner is the absolute sweetest.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Can't recommend coming here enough, we are officially coming here forever.

    Layer haircut with face framing

    This is my second time at this salon and both times were phenomenal. I got a pretty big chop and asked for layers with face framing. Sophia always does me right. All of the people at the salon are very caring and were very flexible with me. My coworker also asked me where I went because she liked my hair so much!! Thank you!! To get to the salon you have to go up some elevators and walk around so it might be confusing but it's worth it!

    Ash brown Balayage by Sophia Kim

    My stylist Sophia did a great job! Love my hair. I was definitely tense changing my hair from black to ash brown. But the gentle hands of Sophia were so relaxing. Her washing my hair was like a spa treatment. I am definitely looking forward to my next appointment. Of course, the result is amazing. My hair has not been this stunning for years! Prior to Sophia's work, Queen did a test strand 2 days before getting my hair done to make sure that they could meet what I expected. I appreciate Queen's honesty that my expectation of blonde will not be realistic. That to me is how excellent service is provided. Thank you Trapqueen Salon for the beautiful locks I have. I love it so much!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Makayla did my hair, and when I expressed some concerns about the results, the owner reached out to me immediately and was incredibly kind and helpful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They truly listened to my feedback and made me feel taken care of.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went back in, and together Makayla and the owner fixed my hair, it turned out amazing. The integrity of my hair is still very strong and Makayla so very talented. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can genuinely trust this salon with your opinions and feedback.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They really care about their clients and their work.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I've been going to Uyen since 2021, and it's truly the most beautiful my hair has ever looked…read more My natural hair is very fine, and when I first came to her it was just past my shoulders. Uyen added extensions and created a gorgeous bronde color. Over the years we've tried different looks, from very blonde to closer to my natural dark blonde, and I loved it every time! What impressed me the most is how healthy my hair stayed the entire time. After wearing extensions for over two years, I took them out for a while and my natural hair actually looked about 30% thicker than before (The thickest it has ever been). I just got a new set of extensions again and absolutely love them. I went from short hair to almost waist length, and this time we did wavy extensions to match my natural texture. It came out beautifully - the color matches perfectly and it looks very natural, even when I let my hair air dry without styling. Uyen is incredibly attentive and works very meticulously. She really listens and takes the time to make everything blend perfectly. I completely trust her with my hair and highly recommend her, especially if you have fine hair and are considering extensions.

    Uyen is beyond talented. She takes her time, and makes sure you are 100% satisfied before you…read moreleave. I've never had to worry about my hair when I see her. The salon is gorgeous, and the quality is top tier. Would recommend!

    I had two recent appointments here and unfortunately had a very poor experience…read more I paid over $600 for lightening and vivid color services, expecting to work directly with the owner. However, significant portions of the service were performed by an assistant without my consent. The appointments were also heavily overbooked--I spent over 10 hours in the salon across two visits, much of that time waiting. More concerning was the outcome. My hair has sustained significant damage, including breakage in the front where an entire layer was overprocessed and broke off, requiring me to cut bangs to cover it. The overall condition of my hair is now extremely dry, brittle, and straw-like--the worst it has been in over 25 years of coloring my hair. There were also technical issues during the service. My color was rinsed prematurely, which removed pigment and required reapplication, leading to additional unnecessary processing. My eyebrows were also affected during the service and had to be corrected afterward at my own expense. I reached out directly to try to resolve this, but was only offered a partial refund that does not reflect the extent of the damage or the corrective work now required. He damaged my hair beyond repair and now refuses to even take accountability and refund me - so that I can attempt to begin the healing journey for my hair. When I attempted to resolve this directly, my concerns were dismissed and I was offered only a minimal partial refund that did not reflect the outcome. The tone of the response did not feel professional or solution-oriented. There is no amount of money that can reverse the damage to my hair, but a full refund would be a reasonable acknowledgment of the outcome and the cost now required to correct it.

She did a great job and They, the extensions, are amazing !!
