    Peter Haircut
    Andy M.

    Since Peter develops relationships with his clients, a haircut by Peter is not just a haircut, but it's a warm and enjoyable experience. He makes it a priority to know me, my lifestyle and evaluates my hair type. As a result, he consistently provides a haircut that is right for me, not necessarily a haircut that is right on trend. The best indicator of a good haircut is how they grow out. Peter's cuts stand the test of time. They grow out well, and each visit he evaluates past haircut growth patterns to optimize the cut and style. Whenever I have asked for something new and different, I'm impressed with Peter's knowledge of trends and his diverse technical capabilities. He gives me thoughtful recommendations for style options and knocks the new look out of the park on the first haircut. During my visit, I always laugh along the way with Peter. When I leave the salon, I feel refreshed, rejuvenated and frequently receive positive haircut comments from both friends and strangers.

    I was recommended to come here and let me just say it was so worth it! The space was clean, the front desk was welcoming, and the whole experience was the best I've had. Mel did an amazing job and did exactly what I wanted. The cut/style turned out great. I will 100% be going back!

    Still ugly after two weeks.  Obviously not like my hair when I came into the shop! Nothing like the pictures I emailed and showed in person.

    Looking at my hair makes me want to gag. Came in with it the perfect color, but wanted the front lighter. She made my hair DARKER and no a silly stripe of blonde doesn't help. It looks terrible and a waste of $300. They said it would wash out after two weeks. Nope. It is absolutely ugly! Now I have to go somewhere else and pay another $300 to correct it!

    I love my highlights!

    Peter is amazing! He always does an incredible job on my color. He listens to what you want and then does it perfectly. Everyone there is super friendly too!

    My experience here was 10/10. Agoya was amazing to work with and so fun, knowledgeable and professional. This was the best braiding experience I've ever had and I can't wait to come back.

    I was disappointed after going somewhere saying they couldn't lift my hair. I looked for a second opinion and found Megan on instagram. She brought my hair back to life! Megan was also easy to talk to and I enjoyed my hair appointment. The salon is cute and everyone is extremely nice. When you go in next time ask for Megan and you won't be disappointed

    Jason is a very underrated hair stylist at this salon! I have gotten two haircuts from him, both I…read morewas very satisfied with. The first one was a layered cut with a side fringe. He was very meticulous and took his time to make sure all of the layers were even. He was very friendly during the whole interaction. Recently, I made a drastic change from long hair to a pixie cut. I showed Jason my reference pictures, and he was able to cut it in the way I requested while also making it fit my face shape. Again, he took a lot of time to perfect the shape and texture. I was very impressed with the ending result! I have since gotten many compliments on my new style. Additionally, the salon itself is clean and simple. The other staff I have interacted with were nice and efficient. The receptionist also helps with translations to effectively communicate what you want done. I have always favored Asian hair salons for my hair type, but it is very rare that I come across a stylist as skilled as Jason. If you're into layered cuts, I definitely recommend booking him.

I asked for bangs and layers which I've had done badly too many times. He's super professional and skilled and comparable to stylists at pricier salons.

    I cannot say enough good things about Lira Hair Salon. I came in after a disastrous visit to a…read moreso‑called "blonde specialist" who completely ruined my hair while trying to take me from brunette to blonde. My hair was damaged, uneven, and honestly I was scared to try again. Lira changed everything. She not only helped me achieve the blonde I originally wanted, but she did it in a way that protected my hair and brought it back to life. My color looks beautiful, natural, and exactly how I envisioned it. Even better--my hair is actually growing back and feeling healthy again. Lira is truly a master of her craft. She listens, she cares, and she knows exactly what she's doing. If you're thinking about going blonde or need someone to fix a color gone wrong, she's the one you want in your corner. Absolutely worth every visit.

    First I will start with what was good…read more 1. The dye job ended up beautiful. I came in with pretty unclear instructions and reference photos and both the stylist and the owner were able to figure out what fit my needs. This seems to be a huge strength here. 2. They were able to fit me in last minute. What was bad 1. The total time listed online was 1.45 hours, the service ended up taking 2.45 hours. I have been to many salons and never had my hair take that long, especially when I was getting all over color and a blowout (no haircut). Perhaps this was due to me booking last minute. However, the website booking made it look wide open and I think it is the responsibility of the salon to accurately represent their booking capability. I would not have booked with them had I known what experience was to follow. 2. The salon overall seemed overbooked and people were bouncing around. Three different people worked on my hair. Personally, I really didn't like this set up. I like to build a relationship with my stylist and this hectic atmosphere was not synonymous with that 3. The blowout I had was so uncomfortable. The rollers were tangled up in my hair and I could feel it ripping out as the stylist took them out. I have never have a blowout be so painful. My hair had so many split ends after I looked in the mirror at home. 4. My hair fell the moment I stepped outside. Granted it was a windy day, but my hair doesn't typically fall that fast. I think this may have been due to the stylist rushing at the end. On one hand I'm glad she did because I had been sitting alone for quite some time, but on the other hand I paid for essentially nothing. My old stylist back home (moved cross country) had no problem giving me a blowout that lasted at least a few hours. Even on windy days. 5. At one point the owner took my stylist in the back and seemed to be scolding her. This is never something a new client wants to see. I immediately felt anxious that something had gone wrong with my hair color. It ended up great but tbh experience was awkward and handled strangely in my opinion. 6. Finally. The price came out to $260 for all over color and a blowout. I wouldn't mind this price if it wasn't for the lackluster experience. Hair salons are charging luxury prices without offering luxury experiences. The pricing structure is also strange. They charge $60 extra for toner but I have never had a color job that didn't need toner to look good. It feels strange to not include it all together. The toner charge was added after which was a surprise because toner has always been included in the price. To be clear, the website did ask if I wanted to add toner for $60. I thought that was for someone coming in looking just to tone and not add more color. Perhaps this was my mistake but I found the whole pricing structure strange. A few other things to note: water was offered but never given and they only accept cash/zelle/venmo tips. Overall this salon was not a fit for me. A lot of this is subjective preference but I think it's important that people understand what environment they are paying for when they sign up to spend hundreds. That being said, the color was beautiful and I am grateful for that.

He is worth the drive. Atmosphere- The salon is very clean, welcoming, comfortable and spacious. Everyone is friendly and you'll always see someone cleaning and helping each other out. Yes they do speak another language but that's because that is their first language and it's easier for them to communicate to each other. It does not bother me at all. Also, they have a great play list lol Parking- It worried me the first time because it's the city but there's free garage parking and on the side of the street as well. I've always been able to park on the side of the street. Price- Fair pricing considering the quality and time spent. I'm usually there 8-9 hours. Hair stylist- Leo is amazing at what he does. He doesn't rush anything. He takes his time, gives you his honest professional advice on what color you want to achieve while keeping the integrity of your hair. I love how Leo styles my hair. It always feels silky smooth and soft. He can cut hair and gave me the cutest angle bob. So don't hesitate to get haircuts from him either. I always get compliments on my hair and recommended him to my co worker and now she goes to him too! Her hair looks amazing and healthy. She is happy with her results and said she will continue to see him. The hair results don't lie! Oh and whatever hair products they use to wash your hair with smells amazing and I keep forgetting to ask what it is!
