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!
Chelle Dean
In August of 2022, I went to Marina wanting to do what was needed to let my natural gray grow in. She took my red hair to blonde in just two visits so that my grays could grow in. I have not been anywhere else since!! I trust her with all my hair making decisions from cut to color. She is amazing. The salon is fun and welcoming and always clean.

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

Paige did an amazing job adding demsion to my hair color for my daughter's wedding. Paige and Julia are working as a team to keep things on track keeping me and my youngest looking our best. It's been a several month and step process to get here and I couldn't be happier with both of them.
