Not only was the physical space super bright, welcoming, and beautiful, but Billie was so kind and super knowledgeable about all-things hair. I have gotten many balayages before, but have never understood the process behind it until Billie took the time to share it with me! Not only that, but she was a rockstar in terms of being professional! She was very responsive, on time, took the time to listen to her customer, and the best thing of all... she finished on time! I have rarely had that happen with past hairdressers. It was truly one of the best haircare experiences I have had... and my hair now looks GORGEOUS. If you're debating on booking Billie for your next haircare appointment, I highly recommending taking a leap and doing it... you'll be so happy you did!

WOW. There are so many incredible things I need to share about this salon. Short version: AMAZING…read morecustomer service, a wide variety of incredible products, knowledgeable/caring staff, and I am now a forever customer. Long version: First, I walked in and spoke with one of the employees regarding some concerns I had with a previous salon. She addressed them right away and offered to sit me down for a consultation. Since this employee was newer, the owner sat down with us and we went through photos on Pinterest of what I was looking for (HOW AMAZING) and even offered to discuss a price point for me. As a recent college grad, I was filled with emotion by their understanding and kindness towards discussing price. It is so hard to find a place that will work with you and your needs. After our consultation, they offered to do my hair immediately and Marisa colored my hair guided by Marie. Both girls were an absolute delight and made me feel right at home. They thoroughly explained ways to better my hair care routine by assessing my shampoo & conditioner needs. They also offered to show me a variety of things that I was wondering concerning how to style my hair. I could tell that each stylist was sincerely committed to their jobs and loved what they did. The pricing here is a bit more expensive, but after the other services I have received elsewhere, I would rather pay for this any day. If you are looking for a home to get your hair done, then check out this salon immediately. You won't regret it.

Even though I didn't give him much to work with, he still managed to give me one of the cutest haircuts I've ever had.

Honestly, with his level of skill and attention to detail, he could probably be charging twice as much in a big city. If you're looking for a stylist who will give you exactly what you're hoping for, I highly recommend Ken!

I scheduled an appointment with Denise as she's listed as a Master Stylist. She also has curly hair…read morelike mine, so I figured she would be able to do a good job. When I got there she seemed okay, just a bit distracted. She began with washing my hair, where she gave the Lightest "scalp massage" and I'm not certain that she put any conditioner in. Then when I got into her chair she put it all the way to the ground, so that I could only see from my eyes up in the mirror while she cut my hair. To the point that she was literally on her Knees to do her job. She barely asked what I wanted, then didn't even follow that. I asked for layers to round the shape of my hair out, for it to sit about shoulder length, and my bangs to be cut at cheekbone length. Instead hair was past my shoulders in the front and long and Mullety in the back as if she didn't cut that at all. My "bangs* were down to my mouth and there were Zero discernable layers to be found anywhere. When she asked if I wanted her to do anything else I asked for it to be cut shorter, she trimmed the front 2 pieces a tiny bit and that's it so I decided not to ask for anything else, as she already wasn't doing what I asked. Not once during the total of Thirty minutes that she spent on my hair did she check if the length was ok, what I was thinking about it or anything. She spent most of the time making my hair frizzy AF then fluffing it around than she did taking time to cut my hair. She also did not offer me a mirror at Any point to see the back. I feel like she was distracted the entire time, did not actually want to cut my hair for some reason, and left me looking ridiculous. I walked out of the store with a fluffy, frizzy, mullet and paid almost $100 for it. I absolutely will Not be back and Highly discourage Anyone from going to see Denise. I ended up going to my friend's house afterwards, waking her up, and together we did a Significantly better job than Denise.

But when I explained I actually had an appointment, I was directed by Erin--who was supposed to be my stylist--to take a seat in the small spot acting as a waiting room. She introduced herself from the nearby chair (maybe 10-12 feet away from me) while she was working on her client's hair. I sat down. The client said softly to Erin, "Sorry," presumably for exceeding the length of the appt, but that's not her fault obviously. Erin said loudly, "I'm not! I knew this was going to take a long time!" Because this is a small shop, I'm new, and I'd already felt like I'd intruded where I wasn't welcome, I said, "Oh, I'm in no hurry!" But I wondered, if she knew her service was going to exceed the time frame she'd booked for her client, why did she book me in that time frame? And 20 minutes passed. No acknowledgment of me. No offer of water, coffee, nothing. No gratitude for my patience. I didn't exist. Or, worse. I felt they wanted me to leave. During this time, Erin gossiped with her client, asked her client if she wanted her to rewash her hair, she cut every single hair in the client's bangs and then went over them again (I've really never seen anything so vain--though I'm sure it was an awesome cut), curled the hair again, cut another hair, talked about so and so's husband and then paused for awhile to just gape at her work and to talk some more. And never once a nod toward my existence. I wanted to cry. It felt deliberately mean girl. So, I stood up and put on my coat. At that, Erin asked, "Are you cold?" I said no, "I'm leaving." And I think the client asked, "You're leaving?" But not a word from Erin or the other stylist there. And I left. No one cared that a client left. No one has contacted me. This was so mean. Living a block away, this experience was a disappointment for me with the Tenney-Lapham business district.

Came here because of the high ratings, but I had a terrible experience. Not only was the owner,…read moreRebecca, rude, but she gave me a terrible haircut. I asked Rebecca to make sure my hair was all the same length, no layers. I wanted a blunt straight cut, to take the dead ends off, but preserve as much of the length as possible for my upcoming wedding. I thought there's no way any hair stylist can screw this up. Boy was I very wrong. Rebecca combed my hair to the front, eyeballed, and cut. It was strange, so I stopped and asked her how she was going to cut my hair. She told me "I'm not here to give you a lesson on cutting hair, but I'm doing just what you asked." I didn't feel comfortable after what she said, but thought I would give her the benefit of the doubt. Bad idea. The whole time Rebecca cut my hair, she didn't even touch it once with her hands. Just kept combing to the front, eyeballing and cutting with the scissors. I've had enough haircuts to know you should section before cutting, and check and measure with your fingers. After Rebecca cut my hair, I pointed out to to her that the hair in front were at least 1.5 inches longer than the hair in the back (as expected since she combed the hair to the front before cutting), and that it wasn't very even. But she kept saying, "well, that's what you asked for, I gave you want you wanted." After arguing for a few minutes, I gave up and left. I will never come here again.
