    I honestly couldn't be happier with my hair! A coworker recommended this salon, and after a quick Instagram search I chose Nina because I was hoping to find someone who truly understood natural curls and she did not disappoint. She was warm, transparent about her process, and made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout the appointment. The entire salon team was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I will absolutely be coming back many more times!

    I've been a client at Maru for a few years. I have a super last minute schedule travel a lot -- and now moved to Australia! I'm one of those clients who makes appts 48hrs in advance & so I really love 1) the ease of the online booking platform & 2) I've now been to multiple stylists as I see whomever can fit me in. I've loved seeing Brooklyn a few times and today went to Nina who did an awesome job on roots, highlights, refreshing my cut. Great team all around. My only note is be sure to ask for price estimate once you've discussed the plan with your stylist -- extra little services can add up quickly. This is true anywhere. Love them, love the owner Kip & receptionist -- always friendly & welcoming every time I swoop through.

    Finished color and cut

    My first time to this salon and Kip the owner paired me up with Nina. I'm someone who would be salt and pepper if I were to go natural. My hair color is auburn and unfortunately the salon I went to previously couldn't seem to the the root touch up right. I always came out too dark and was not well blended. Nina - is a perfectionist and took great care to ask me many questions and get the color right. I was what you would call a color correction client. I also got a fresh cut - with nice long layers and some fringe on the side. The blow out was perfection. I'm a happy new client. This was NOT inexpensive but hopefully the correction was one and done.

    Highly recommend Travis!! He was so kind and patient and asked thoughtful questions about my hair, since it was my first appointment with him. The color is perfection - so many tones, feels really natural!! The salon is lovely and relaxing.

    Nina is the best!

    Nina is incredible!!!!! She is the only stylist in the world who knows how to tackle my hair. I have so much of it! Thank you for always making me feel beautiful!

    I went to get a haircut Friday afternoon for a special occasion and showed them exactly what I…read morewanted: a classic Ben Affleck Bruce Wayne-style haircut with regular-sized sideburns, just like the character. They asked me if I was graduating, and I said no, I was meeting my fiancée's mom the next day. Five minutes before the haircut was finished, the stylist took a big chunk off my right sideburn. She cut it too high, which ruined the whole haircut, especially since my face shape doesn't suit short sideburns. I told her I didn't like it. I didn't overreact or yell, I was just uncomfortable. The hairdresser said, "Too bad!" and tried to dismiss the issue. I told her again that she should have asked me about the length. She then took it personally and told her boss that I was making things up so I wouldn't pay, saying, "They do this so they don't pay." What do you mean by "they"? Not only did I feel dismissed and treated unprofessionally, but also disrespected. I was upset after the whole situation, but even then I was willing to pay and didn't want to leave without paying because I didn't want to prove her point. Plus, it's not that expensive. At the end, the stylist said she had 40 years of experience. Well, after this, it feels like you wasted 40 years and somehow skipped the basics of customer service. Not coming back, even after being offered a free haircut. I would rather pay three times what I paid today for a standard service where you're treated with basic courtesy.

Virginia, you refunded my payment (thank you) and I wasn't sure whether to write this. I loved the haircuts I got from you before. But you cannot experiment on people's hair like this. And after this I do not think you should be coloring people's hair at all. I asked you directly before we started if you had knowledge and experience with blonde highlights and you said multiple times yes, and that you definitely could make it happen. But it turned out you had no idea how to do blonde bleach, let alone balayage. Once you rinsed out the bleach and saw how bad it looked, you didn't stop what you were doing to share what had happened. Instead of showing me the results, you applied a super-hot curling wand to give me a big hairstyle so I wouldn't notice the highlights. The wand on the new bleach left it with intense heat damage. The hair is falling out as I write this and my whole head stinks of burnt hair. This did not need to happen - you could have simply told me the truth, that you have no idea what you're doing with blonde highlights, and I would have been able to find someone who does, and my hair would still be healthy right now. Please let me be the last person this happens to.

I have paid far more for lesser quality cuts. She is friendly, detailed, and efficient.

Leave a voicemail and she will get back to you in a timely manner.

She's friendly, genuinely cares, and somehow remembers exactly what you talked about last time. Every visit feels personal, not just transactional.
