So....you make an appointment…read more I love this salon! The very first thing that I notice about any business that I go into is the level of cleanliness. Shimmer is ALWAYS clean and ready to accommodate all of the clients that are in the salon. Second, the ambiance in the business - I have to say, I love the comfortable yet stylish decor in Shimmer. Brand new chairs (super comfortable for the longer appointments) - and new chairs at the washing and dryer stations. I love to see places that maintain their furniture and decor; no one wasn't to sit in old and dirty salons. I have to say, the best part about the place is Nichole! She has always made sure that I was in the best hands! I began having her do my hair from when she worked at another salon. I had to follow her to her own salon! Nichole has time and time again worked with my schedule; which can be difficult. She's made sure that I can get all of the services that I need and get on my merry way- lickity-split! The quality of care that you'll receive here is A+ - I've religiously gone to Shimmer for hair cuts, styling, products, and the occasional special service or treatment. I've never personally gotten a color or dye job, however - I've referred all of my friends and they have also religiously gone back! You name it - they can do it. Nichole also has a team of stylists that work at her salon - Ashley has been the only other stylist to do my hair. And of course, she also does amazing work! In part - this is the salon that everyone is looking to find, convenient for the regular trims, and accommodating for those special pampering sessions!

I love this place! I used to go to One-on-One nearby since Nichole (the owner of Shimmer) was…read morealways available and was such a talented stylist. Now I'm happy to see her open her own salon. This salon is brand new, has great decor and best of all - great talent. Nichole has never let me down in terms of what I need hair-wise (whether a simple cut and blow dry or curls for a night out). She's open to feedback and is super nice. This salon also has a lot of other services that I have yet to try out but am looking forward to. This is now my go-to Salon in the area. I highly recommend it.

I am Sooo disappointed, I called them asking for a good hairdresser because my daughter was looking…read morefor a specific hair cut, they said they have a hairdresser who can do it. My daughter asked to cut ONE inch of but Kerry - the hairdresser cut like 10 inches, she did whatever she wanted whit her hair. My daughter had really long hair, below the belt and, after the haircut she has now shoulder length. My daughter is devastated, and the hairdresser said at the end ,, Oh you finally have a nice haircut''. I am disappointed because she did not listen, and did not do what she was asked to do and secondly because I called and asked if they know how to do it but they scheduled us the worst hairdresser they have. I can not believe that she does not know what ONE inch looks like, I am soooo disappointed

I also get my nails done every 2 weeks with Nicole and I could not recommend her more. She's so kind, so talented and always brings my inspiration to life even better than I imagined it. The amount of compliments I get on my hair and especially my nails is insane. These ladies make me feel beautiful, which is tough to do. Everyone at Secret Beauty is friendly and skilled, you can't go wrong and they have SO MANY amazing services to choose from, not just hair and nails. Highly recommended.

Kaitlin is my go to stylist for waxing. For a sense of how hairy I am, Chewbacca and I look like cousins. Katilin waxes eye nose, ears. (and when I'm brave enough) my back. She's so kind, really detailed, and doesn't sugar coat the parts that might be uncomfortable. The whole place gets 5 stars from me but Thier waxing is absolutely out of this world!

She does a great job of listening to her clients' needs and consulting with them on the best way to get their desired hairstyle. She is always ready with styling tips for novices like me who always have a difficult time maintaining their style between cuts. I recommend Red Inc for anyone looking for a quality hair salon in the area!

Just went here for the first time the other day, Lisa is THE BEST!!! When I first called she…read moredidn't have availability for a while, and she was kind enough to refer me to another local salon. But I was so impressed with that, that I called her back the next day when she did have time to fit me in. Well, I was looking to try a curly cut for the first time, because I have very thick curly hair that I have a very hard time managing. And I had read reviews of hers that said she was great with curls, let me tell you, Lisa is the curl master!! I walked in with frizzy, tired curls, and walked out with the cutest haircut! I am thrilled with my haircut, and 3 days later my curls are still going strong!! Not frizzy or tired, nice and bouncy and spirals! And she gave me great tips on taking care of my curls, and I'm definitely going back for color! I love her honesty, she doesn't pull any punches, you can tell she's in it because it's her passion. It shows for sure. And it's so cute and relaxing in the salon, I recommend it to anyone in the area!! Thanks Lisa!!
