I cannot recommend Liz enough. I came in with about 7 different colors in my hair, from blonde, to…read moregreen, to brown, to pink. All of it. I told Liz I wanted lavender hair. She spent 8 hours working on my hair, taking amazing care of both me and my hair! She was so kind and funny to talk to, and listens to everything you ask and say! I left after those 8 hours with the most BEAUTIFUL purple hair, more than I could even imagine. She worked with my (extremely stubborn) hair and made it a work of art. She told me that because of my hair color and condition, true lavender all over wouldn't be possible, so she adapted and added a darker purple in places where lavender wouldn't cover, to make sure I was all purple and it turned out SO cool. I won't be going anywhere else for color (especially not box dye...)!! THANK YOU LIZ!!

Absolutely love my cut and colour! She really listens - the colour of my highlights was gorgeous…read moreand looked very natural. Liz was great; as I am in my 20s I always want a stylist who can give a modern cut and a colour that looks luxe and expensive. Liz more than delivers on both accounts and when she told me the price at the end, it was so much lower than expected that I thought she had missed a decimal place...cut and colour for under $100! Worth mentioning that the products she used for highlighting my hair got it to the light blonde I wanted, but left it feeling healthy and happy..something anyone who has had highlights knows is nothing short of a miracle. Fantastic service for any price - but for the level of expertise of both the cut and colour (plus excellent conversation and a relaxing experience) Liz is by far the best stylist I've ever had! The salon was very clean and trendy, with fresh baking and coffee a nice addition. For anyone looking for a new hair stylist in the area, you cannot go wrong with Liz. Highly highly recommend.

I'd like to add that I used to see another stylist, Gracie--who was also amazing--but she's no longer at this salon. That said, in all the time I've been coming here, I've never seen anyone walk out with bad hair.

They are especially good with my neurodivergent kiddos! I think seeing their low rating on this site really shows how nasty people can be over things out of a business's control. If you feel uncomfortable, speak up, find someone else, but don't disparage because you didn't click with the vibe. Just move a long! This place is beautiful inside, it would be great for a group style get ready together for weddings, proms and senior pictures, or a girls night out! It's got fun energy; a young environment and my girls (4yrs old to 30 yrs old) all love it.

I have extremely curly hair that has been my nemesis for the past forty years. I've pretty much…read morefigured it out, but as I keep it long I find myself putting it into a ponytail most every day that ends in Y, and I just don't think it looks professional. Plus, there is a balance between having really long hair to weigh down/control the curl...and not having a shape, just having a big mop of long hair that hangs there and doesn't look intentional let alone professional. I searched a bit on Yelp for hair cuts and salons for curly hair and learned about the Deva Cut. I figured I'd try this salon and was so pleased that I did! The Deva Cut is a dry cut with natural care and styling products and specific techniques meant to tame frizz and encourage curls at the same time. The Deva way of thinking is to stop fighting curl and to embrace it by making it look better than you ever imagined possible. Melanie, the salon owner, is the one Paragon staffer who is trained in the Deva cut. I found her to be polished, nice, a bit quiet, and very thoughtful and careful in the way she handled me and my hair. She was most definitely not a traditional chatty, gum-chewing, long fingernailed fashion diva wannabe. She paid attention to what I said and I did not cut too much or attempt to persuade me to change the style or color of my hair. Setting up the appointment was pleasant, Melanie was on time, and the receptionist was nice. The salon is comfortable but not flashy or overly luxurious. Melanie was able to trim and shape my hair without losing too much length and also the got rid of the scraggly bits at the center of my back, which I had due to a U-shaped cut. I left with incredibly curly, healthy-looking hair and a lot of excitement about trying the Deva way of life. Also worth noting is that my hair was just as curly the following morning (it usually flattens out quite a bit when I sleep on it). If you like or hate your curls, try Melanie and the Deva way of hair care!
