Kimberly Jackson
I love the atmosphere of this salon. I had the best haircut and style I’ve had in years. Sarah was outstanding.
Rachel Davidson
It was my first time there, but the atmosphere was wonderful and I felt very welcome there. Sarah did a lovely job on my hair and made it look exactly how I wanted it and made sure to accommodate me on anything I might need. She was very polite and I felt comfortable. I will be back again for my future hair appointments and have already recommended my fiancé to one of the other stylists there!

Mickey took time to listen to what I wanted. She made suggestions and I really like my cut. She's friendly and personable. I will likely go to her again.
Erin Lamkin

Morgan Kurtz
Neely was amazing! Love what she did with my hair! Will definitely be going to her again!
Tiffany Nelson
I am leaving a post on behalf of my dear friend. Adam went above and beyond to make sure that he was taken care of even though he is currently hospitalized. My friend sent me a photo immediately and said he LOVED his haircut (which is a rarity because he’s super picky) and that Adam was super chill. Thank you so much for making the effort to go to the hospital and give him a refresh yesterday! This was an act of kindness and you all were the ONLY salon in the area that responded to my request. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Marissa Edwards
I have going to her for the past couple years now and she is absolutely magic. If you need a recoloring, a cut, a full transformation she can definitely do it all. Vivid and natural colors she’s amazing!
