She is kind, generous, and such a perfectionist. You won't ever have to worry about not liking something because I trust she will catch it first. Her craft is unique and very much her own.

Don't forget to ask about her hair growth oil. The environment is clean, friendly, and family oriented. Not to mention, it's located downtown, so before or after your appointment, you can grab coffee, ice cream, or just walk around.

I cannot say enough good things about my stylist Jenna! I came in absolutely hating my hair. I…read morenever wore it down and had totally lost confidence in how it looked. Jenna completely changed that for me. She gave me the most amazing cut that works perfectly with my texture and face shape. For the first time in forever I actually love my hair and can't stop wearing it down! The second I saw it I was obsessed. She really took her time to listen to what I wanted (and what I didn't), explained what would suit me best, and made sure I felt comfortable the whole way through. She's incredibly detail oriented, checks how your hair falls from every angle, and was extremely patient with me. Jenna is so warm and easy to talk to. The whole experience was relaxing and fun, not stressful like haircuts sometimes can be. I was nervous to get my hair cut but she totally put me at ease. You can tell she genuinely cares about making you look and feel your best. If you've been in a hair rut or are nervous to try someone new, go see Jenna. She's a total pro and an absolute gem. I will definitely be back!

I made my appointment at noon and I was helped as I entered. I felt welcomed and made feel comfortable by Jenna. She did my haircut with care and attention to detail.

This was by far my best haircut ever and I will for sure be coming back to Faust for my next haircut. If you want a food haircut, and with excellent service, I would highly recommend Faust, and Jenna for your next haircut or hairstyle needs. Thank you Jenna!!

When you find someone who can do miracles with your hair, you remain loyal if you know what is good for you and your hair. In 2015, my hair was frizzy and damaged.

I found my person I will absolutely continue to go to Michaela to keep my curls looking their best and recommend you do too if you're a curly haired person. She is the absolute best.

My hair had grown back curly and crazy and I had no idea what to do with it. I didn't come in with an idea of what I wanted done, just that I wanted to feel more like myself on my upcoming wedding day. Megan advised a Keratin treatment and extensions, neither of which I had done before. With these options, I was able to style my hair without having to cut any of it off (something I really didn't want to do). I feel more like myself than I have in over two years and it truly is Megan's expertise to thank! I can't recommend her enough to anyone going through something similar.

Not only is it the go-to spot for cutting-edge hair styling (I get my mohawk dyed platinum here!), but the energy on First Fridays is off the charts. I DJ there each month, dropping some fatty beats, and the owner sets the perfect scene by providing complimentary drinks to keep the party going. There's always a cool mix of people dancing, browsing the hip clothing selection, or getting styled. The salon transforms into a mini dance floor, and it's impossible not to get swept up in the fun. If you want a place that's got killer style, awesome tunes, and a community vibe, OXY Salon is where it's at. Highly recommend checking it out on First Fridays--it's a blast!

I trust her to keep things the same when it's working and help me figure out how to switch it up when it's time for a change. I'm not a hair stylist, so I really appreciate Farzaneh's ability to talk through what's possible and realistic to expect for my hair type (and my preference for low-maintenance daily styling). She has recently opened up appointments earlier in the day (7 a.m. on some weekdays!) which is perfect for my work schedule. Her salon is so relaxing and private with space for one client at a time, and I love getting my hair done with a view of the little garden area outside. Great hair, great company, and a haircut experience that feels more like a self-care ritual than just checking a box on my to-do list.

What impressed me most was his foresight: he thoughtfully looks at your facial structure--your forehead, jawline, the length of your hair you're considering, and the look you want to achieve. Nick can give you an image. On top of that, he's kind, open-minded, compassionate, and a great listener. He's also incredibly creative--I've never had such a haircut this great. Thank you, Nick.
