I don't usually write a bad review of anything. However, when it comes to my hair, I feel compelled…read moreto write this review in hopes that it will prevent others from going through what I did at Salon 202. I went in for a curly perm. The person who was going to give me the perm informed me she didn't cut hair. I should have left then. She rolled my hair on perm rods. THEN she held the perm solution bottle above my head and squirted it on like a water sprinkler. Most of that solution ended up on my scalp NOT on the hair that was wrapped around the rods. After having perms for over 50 years, in which the perm person SOAKED each individual rod with the solution, it dawned on me that this person had never given a perm before. As she covered the rolled hair with plastic, I wondered if this was a new perming process. Was she going to apply another solution later and soak the hair on the rods? No. After about 15 minutes, she thoroughly rinsed my hair, gave it a quick pat with a towel. Not pressing each individual rod to soak up the water. Then she proceeded to put the neutralizer on the still-soaked-with-water curled hair the same way she had the perm solution--above my head like a sprinkler. Most of that went on my scalp. When she removed the rods, there were a few curls at the ends of my still long (below ears) hair. After the hair cutter cut my hair, this is what I ended up with: So much for a curly perm.

I have very fine and very annoying hair, but she went slow and got it just right. She was also very kind to give me numerous tips about my hair, and I found her to be relatable and fun to talk to.

I actually let her decide when I need highlights and it's always spot on. Five stars for this lovely low key shop.

Kierra is seriously the best! She's not just amazing at doing hair (which she totally is), but…read moreshe's also super kind and really easy to talk to. I met Kierra four years ago when she saved my hair and took it from murky green to blonde. I've been going to her ever since, and every single time she absolutely crushes it. Whether I want something simple or something totally new, she always gets it right and makes me feel so confident when I leave. She really listens and just gets it. If you're looking for someone who's talented, sweet, and really knows what they're doing--Kierra's the one. I couldn't recommend her more!

They also do complementary scalp massages with hair wash appointments which is awesome.

The first time I had my hair dyed at G&M I thought I was accidentally undercharged. Highly recommend!

Lush Collective is the place where my hairstylist, Kyla, works. This review is long overdue as she…read morehas been cutting my hair for YEARS. Kyla always checks in with me about how I want my hair to look. Checks how many layers I want, the amount of hair to cut off, everything. She says that if anything is bothering me or not right with my hair, I can come back within a week, and she will fix it. I have never had to do this over the years she has been cutting my hair. Nice to know it's always an option. The salon is really nice and clean. The parking is easy as there is a parking lot. It's easy to make an appointment with her through a website. I also love the text reminders for my appointments. Want your hair to look fabulous? Contact Kyla!!

She's a pro at coloring, feathers or hair bling (think glittery hair strands woven into hair). You can schedule online, pay with a credit card and park conveniently on the street for free.

It's a comfortable, one-stylist shop (another stylist leases it for two days of the week) so you never have to whisper when telling a raunchy story.
