I came in with brown/red hair with the goal of achieving a full blonde transformation and Mariam delivered beyond my wildest dreams. When she finally revealed the result, I cried happy tears.

Nothing was rushed, everything was methodical, well thought out, and intentional. Three months later, my hair is genuinely the healthiest it has ever been. Mariam and the team are committed to helping you reach your hair goals no matter how long it takes, and they are genuinely so supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process.

I had a couple layers but my bangs had been grown out for over a year because I was undecided on what I wanted done with them.

Danato took his time in explaining the entire process to me before starting the treatment, which included multiple cleansing washes accompanied by steam throughout.

The whole experience was relaxing and pleasant from start to finish. Danato was very attentive, polite and detail-oriented. I would highly recommend him for a hair spa treatment or blowout!

I wanted to wait to write this review until I actually saw how my hair looked post-styling, but I'm…read morehappy to say that I was really pleased. I have thick, curly, often frizzy hair and I'm always nervous finding a place to get it cut (I've lived in the area for 8+ years and haven't yet found a place I'm comfortable going to regularly). As such, I hadn't gotten my hair cut in months (like, 8 months) prior to this appointment. I got my hair cut with Candace, and she looked at my hair dry and asked me around where I wanted it to hit afterwards, which I really appreciated with curls. She was able to blow dry it straight afterwards, and I was scared it was going to be too short once it dried curly. BUT, I was pleasantly surprised! It might have been 0.5-1 inch shorter than I anticipated, but it looked great! Deep Blue was the perfect combo of well priced with awesome results. and I might have finally found a place that I can go to regularly! P.S. The online appointment system is also pretty helpful.

I had to come back the last time so Candice could fix my cut, clearly annoyed, and left me with a choppy bang-like piece that I ended up fixing elsewhere. Then this last visit I showed her a photo of what I wanted - a very blunt shoulder length bob. Pretty simple. I was there 20 minutes tops and wasn't shown the back with a mirror, and when I got home and looked with my own mirror, I found the cut was uneven, angled, and longer at the front. Sure it looked nice after being blow dried, and I typically play around with my hair afterwards to to be sure the cut flows nicely, but I felt uncomfortably rushed with her standing at the register waiting for me. The floor should also be swept between each client. That was definitely my last visit there.

George and Zena took such great care of me. I had been told by multiple hairstylists that removing…read morethe permanent orange/red tones from my hair would be a long process, but George immediately knew exactly what to do.

The pricing was also very reasonable for everything I had done. I'm so happy with the result and will absolutely be coming back. Highly recommend!

I wanted to give 5 stars but I realized when I washed my hair, so much of my hair has been chopped…read moreoff and I paid a lot for this service as I was told to maintain my hair length, it will be $400, but my hair length was not maintained. A lot was chopped. Like an inch or two. If it weren't for that, I would have given 5 stars, but this is a pretty big deal that I was told to keep my hair length, it will be $400 and to chop it off it will be about $300 but my hair was chopped and I still managed to pay $400. Another thing is I didn't like the way my ends were trimmed. Yes the color is very nice though. Sam did my hair and he did a really good job. I want to give 5 stars but I also felt misled simply because a good chunk of my length was lost from this and it was not worth the price paid for. It does not sit well with me. The reason I gave 3 stars instead of 4 was because the way my ends were cut were chopped off. They weren't trimmed. They were just chopped off. That'd be okay if I weren't charged $400. $400 charge was to maintain my length, but wasn't. UPDATE: Edited mine to 4 stars because I really do love the color. Sam did an amazing job with my color. Hopefully I can get my ends fixed though! After washing my hair, my color still comes out beautiful. Photo is posted.

I called to make a last minute appointment and Dana graciously invited me to come in so she could assess my hair and recommend the best option for my thick, straight Japanese hair. I was looking for volume with defined curls, and she suggested an airwave perm, which ended up being the perfect choice. I was given a wonderful shampoo and conditioning by a kind employee. Following the wash, Dana gave me a quick trim to add some layers and remove bulk from my one-length cut, and then really got to work. About 2.5 hours later, I walked out of the salon with beautiful, bouncy curls that looked just like the reference photos I brought in. Even better, I was told the perm should last about a year with proper care, which makes it totally worth it. I was also provided some fantastic Japanese hair serum, which was so kind and appreciated! The entire team was attentive, kind, professional, and made the experience so enjoyable. I highly recommend Beautiful Cuts and will absolutely be back!
