Diana is so educated in color she has gotten me to the level of brightness I asked for without any breakage .

The owner of this salon is also extremely friendly and you can tell that this business is run on very good vibes and positivity . Everyone I have encountered at the salon is professional and kind and I am truly grateful to have found this team of experts!

I am extremely pleased with the outstanding results. I even told her I felt like crying--knowing it's "just hair"--because she listened so attentively and provided clear, professional guidance on what would and wouldn't work for my hair. If it were possible, I would happily give her more than five stars. Thanks Diana

Every time I see her she takes the time to really understand what I am asking for and explain in detail how she thinks we can execute it. My most recent trip was a color correction after I tried to do an at home color, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. She somehow manages to always get me back to my natural color which is a very specific darker blonde. Her studio is absolutely adorable and has fun snacks and drinks. She truly goes above and beyond to make it a great experience. I have referred a couple of my friends to her who have also been astonished with how beautiful their hair turns out!

I'd give this place a pass. The haircut itself was completely average--nothing terrible, but…read moredefinitely nothing special either. The real issue is the staff. From the second I walked in, the energy was incredibly off. The staff was outright abrasive and made the entire experience uncomfortable. It felt like I was inconveniencing them just by being there, and the bad attitude throughout the cut ruined what should have been a routine visit. A decent haircut isn't worth dealing with an unpleasant, hostile environment. I won't be coming back.

They won't get offended if I ask for a silent cut after the initial questions. Sometimes I have a lot on my mind or had a stressful day and don't feel like chit chat. They can keep notes on what size trim or blade you like on your profile in case you don't need a cut as often. This is great since I don't trim my hair as often as my sides. AND, you can get a hot towel at the end! Sometimes they also have product to sample. I usually buy Paul Mitchell Foaming Pomade for soft bouncy curls.

Skip this barbershop unless you enjoy disappointment:…read more (1)The stylist shows zero skill--she slaps on a single guard and buzzes everything at one length, no artistry whatsoever. (2)The edges are harsh with no smooth transitions, leaving an obvious "step" instead of a clean fade. (3)She looks and acts like she absolutely hates cutting hair, rushing through the job with an attitude. (4)When the cut inevitably looks bad, she just tells you to slap on some hair products to "fix" it instead of actually improving the cut. Save your money and find someone who actually cares about the craft.
