Margo is the best hair stylist there!! Super sweet and always makes me feel welcome and I love what she does with my hair.

Joshua is truly a godsend. I honestly cannot say enough good things about him. He is beyond talented and has completely transformed my hair while helping me safely and beautifully go lighter to blonde. His skill with color, styling, and lighting is unmatched -- I never thought my hair could look this good! What makes him even more special is who he is as a person. Joshua is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about his clients. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in every detail of his work. I trust him completely and wouldn't let anyone else touch my hair. If you're looking for someone who is both incredibly gifted and a truly lovely human being, Joshua is your person. He is a total delight, just like everyone else here! I love love love this salon! read more

Margaux, love my new haircut! Thank you. She listened to what I wanted and worked her magic.

Eli is my go-to hair stylist, and he always does a beautiful job. On one occasion when Eli was unavailable, I booked an appointment with Margaux--and I'm so glad I did. Margaux did an excellent job as well, especially with the color. She's not only talented but also warm and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. She took the time to give me helpful tips on which products to use and how to style my natural curls. I'll admit I'm not very good at recreating the look the way she did, but I really appreciated her guidance and expertise. read more

Going to Mitch is like going to therapy for your hair. He genuinely listens--not just to what's said, but to what's meant. Whether it's photos, loose ideas, or offhand comments, Mitch has a way of translating all of it into a look that actually works. His understanding of color is exceptional: value, tone, and how color interacts with natural hair texture. Nothing feels trendy or generic. The cut and color are thoughtful, intentional, and completely customized. Imagine loving your hair and feeling genuinely heard and understood. That confidence doesn't disappear when you leave the chair--and that's what makes Mitch stand out. read more

I walked in to make an appointment as a new customer. As I was walking through the door there is a conversation going on with the hairdresser "Mitch" I believe, a nice lady and her daughter. For what I understood, he was 15 minutes late to greet them for their appointment. Then he says I do not have time for your color and cut. So the mom says, OK, please do my daughter's hair cut then, dry and style. He says "no I will only wash and cut". Very disappointed with the way they treated they turned away and left. Sadness in the little girls face. I couldn't believe what I saw. If it was me I would have given them hell! Advice for the owner: Watch your staff's time management and manners. read more

Update to the salon's response: There are numerous inaccuracies in this response, and it's hard to know where to start. To claim that I said, "I haven't had a haircut in two years" is completely false and I never made that statement. In fact, I had a haircut just a couple of months prior. This kind of fabrication only highlights the extent to which this salon is willing to go in order to avoid accountability. Contrary to what's being suggested, a refund was never offered at any point. When we asked Eli about the possibility of a refund and expressed our desire to resolve things amicably, he angrily made it clear that a refund was not an option. He even encouraged us to post the photos online, stating he was proud of his work. After the poor job he had already done, I didn't trust him to attempt to fix my hair and risk making it even worse. A quality haircut should not require extensive styling to look presentable, nor should it depend on camera angles to appear decent. The photo I shared was taken immediately after I returned home from the appointment. I am glad that if we can agree on anything, it's that the image clearly shows my hair looking bad and disheveled. The photo truly speaks for itself. read more

All hail Casey the hair maven! Thank you for addressing the pelt sitting on top of my head parading around as my hair. I have been to see Casey twice now, and each time she has listened to my concerns and refreshed my hair effortlessly. I am very low maintenance and appreciate her approach with me; a simple cut that I can work with once I get home without having to fuss over it. Casey is really good at reading people and it is obvious she has just as much of a passion for people and making them feel good as she does hair.

FINALLY, a salon and hair expert that GETS IT! Casey was well worth the wait. After patiently dealing with stylists at other salons who just didn't understand the color I was seeking, Casey immediately knew the lift my highlights needed and did a beautiful job on my color. From my roots, to my highlights, to my blow-dry, Casey expertly and thoughtfully came through with my hair goals! The salon front desk consultant was engaging and super kind. The salon is SO cute - obsessed with it! If I can critique anything, it's that I would have loved to be offered a mimosa, but I might be the only person interested in drinking at 11:30am on a Monday! Highly recommend - you won't be disappointed! read more

I get my hair cut by Eli and absolutely love it every time! He is so talented and so fun to talk to. Everyone that works here is so kind and considerate. 100% recommend. read more

Beware!!! I had a bad experience with this salon and feel compelled to share. Prior to my cut, the stylist insisted on parting my hair in the middle even though I wear my hair off center. I attempted to convince her otherwise but she was the professional so I trusted her expertise. She was adamant about doing it her way and said that this method was the only way to get a good cut. :/ As I predicted, my hair ended up lopsided and one side was obviously much shorter. It was also choppy and the layers didn't flow. People actually mentioned it to me!! I went back in to have her fix it and she acted defensive and rude as if I was somehow in the wrong. The cut was bad, the attitude was bad. Horrible salon!! read more

Lauren is an absolute marvel. She layered my hair in a way that gave it natural movement and bounce. And even when I air dry my hair, it turns in the right direction just from her expert cut! Lauren's a pro through and through, and she's a joy to chat with as well. The vibe of the salon as a whole is also great. Go to Lauren for cut, color, and styling. You'll be glad you did. read more

I have never left a review before but I wanted to share my opinion. I am shocked that this salon has good reviews. I didn't like the cut I received and I felt the vibe was pompous and arrogant. Will not return.: ( read more

I've been going to Eli Alexander salon for years and decided to try a new stylist, Margaux. She is amazing and creative and very talented. I've been very happy with my cuts and color and anti frizz treatments. I just love her! read more

Emily! I can't thank you enough. From the moment I walked in you were so friendly and to the point. I've worn my hair almost waist length for so long and I was looking for a change. You understood exactly what I wanted and what my hair needed. It's so difficult to find a stylist that knows how to work with curly hair and you made it seem easy. Even after washing it and letting my curls air dry the next day, I still absolutely love my new look. Keep doing what you do! read more
