This was my 1st time here & I saw Makayla. She is very nice, actually all the staff was very friendly. The environment was nice & because of all the amazing online reviews, I thought I picked the perfect place! I had 2 yrs of growing out a VERY short, icy blonde pixy/undercut. I've always worn very edgy & on trend styles - both short & longer. My hair became much curlier over the last 4-5 yrs so I thought I'd really embrace my curls this time. I have very fine 2C-3A curls. So they frizz easily & it goes flat on top /sides if I don't use the right products. My natural color is a level 6 ash blonde/brown but there was a solid 3 in. of growth in my roots while the rest was a brassy reddish. It was my intention to really brighten it up but also get a cut that would enhance volume & texture. I hadnt touched the color in over a year. I decided I wanted to do a really bright copper shade with a few really dark lowlights to ground that shade. I showed a few pictures of the cut I wanted - nothing crazy but the cut NEEDED to be a particular shape (one we see often in curly hair as it supports volume) & it would also allow me to play up the style in different ways too. Straight cuts just do not work & what I was asking for was very realistic for my texture & length. It's a cut very specific to curly hair & would have created volume & the shape is flattering to my face shape. So like I said, my previous cut was VERY grown out & the color was VERY drab too. I let it go this long so there wouldn't be any issue w/obtaining the style I wanted. It's hard to know sometimes how it's going to come out until you get home & style it yourself with your most loved products. I didn't want it blow dried that day because I needed to see how it would look diffused. Normally I let it dry about 80% by itself to get a good curl cast & THEN I go in & style it with the dryer & products. It's how I get the volume I need. Otherwise my hair is very flat despite the curls. I included before & after photos & no doubt my new color is pretty but its wasn't bright enough to lowlight. She did 1 color & it created a root shadow because of what I already had when I came in. Yes the shade is pretty but nowhere near what I was asking for. And the cut?? It's basically a trimmed version of my original style-less grow out. Yes, my trimmed ends helped my curls to pop back up A LITTLE, & yes they are less stringy but I'm wearing the exact same hairstyle (or lack of one) that I came in with. It's very heavy on top, no volume & super boring. It's also very boxy, which is reminiscent of something that works on straight hair. There's nothing nothing about the cut that's even remotely close to what I requested. It's healthier & the color is less drab but there's no style to it. I feel terrible even writing this review but I'm just not happy. If a customer explains specific curly hair needs such as fine hair that lacks volume, & they're communicating they need a cut to thwart that, it's important the stylist knows how to cut it that way. Curly hair care is VERY different from straight hair. I have not touched up the photos except to cover my face with emojis lol. I don't do selfies. I paid a lot of money for very little result. I honestly thought I was going to be much happier than I am. Unfortunately I think I need a stylist who specializes in curly hair cuts & will accommodate my color requests too. I wanted to do volume extensions at Head Rush but I'm having second thoughts now. I can't explain why my requests weren't met, I didn't ask for anything that was unreasonable or couldn't be done. It makes me sad because I thought I found a place I would be happy at. Tap on each photo so you understand. read more

First time customer and I'll be back. I met with Shania and Riley Friday and had a total overhaul of my dull red hair. They made it look and feel healthy again. Then I met with Maddie for eyebrows and a facial. I felt like a new woman when I left! Can't wait to go back. read more

I got a Snapstory from one of my friends and was blown away by her new hair color. So pretty--fresh, light, glossy. I demanded to know where she went. "Tanya at Head Rush," she eagerly shared. I called that day to book an appointment. My schedule is a little tight right now, but I did find a spot I could devote to my hair a couple weeks out. Tanya's hours seem very schedule-friendly. When I walked in the blustery afternoon of my appointment, I looked like the weather: drab, dull, and losing light. When I walked out a couple hours later, I looked like an ice princess. I'll explain. I sat in Tanya's chair and had a little consult. Not everyone understands I'm a "cool" blond (I prefer that over "ashy") and want to stay that way. I detest lots of warm yellows and golds, as they look terrible on me. Tanya 100% got it right off the bat, and devised a course of action to take me back to ice princess. Over the next couple hours, she did just that . . . and even I had fun. Tanya is adorable, funny, and relatable. Even though I've got twenty years on her, we talked like besties. It was probably the most fun I've had with a color appointment in, like, ever. AND the process didn't stink (like no overpowering this-is-searing-my-lungs chem smell). At all. The salon itself is lovely. Country-modern decor, very clean, feels like home. One of the best things ever? When I got my foils out and hair washed, there's a little headrest. Gone is the awkward neck strain of hanging your giant head into a sink,the top of your spine pressing into a cold sink edge. I love that!!! Everyone in there was friendly and helpful, and the place is so pretty. And I love my hair. I felt like me again (when I got home, even my husband said, "Oh, it's YOU again!"--he said this in a nice way, I promise). The pricing is very reasonable. This is a professional salon, with professional staff and professional product, yet you won't have to take out a loan to look pretty. Love this place, and will be back to check out even more offerings. Thank you, Tanya! read more
