My bridesmaids, and I worked with Meagan on my wedding day, and we all received the most wonderful feedback on our hair. I personally have very long, fairly thick hair, and Meagan created the most ornate up-do which remained intact through some very interesting weather, and a long night of dancing. I was also still fairly undecided as to what I wanted for an up-do on the day of the wedding, but Meagan worked with the few pictures that I showed her, and wow, the outcome was like nothing I've ever seen before. All of her natural gifts, and talents aside Meagan is an energetic, joyful, and ultra professional person to be around. I wouldn't look any further for a wedding hairstylist. Thank you so much Meagan!!

I had a bad experienced before so I was hesitant to try anyone new but she completely exceed every one of my expectations. The service that I wanted was a sewin with a leave out around the perimeter.

The service is mild, not particularly friendly or chatty, but they're very good at what they do. Washed my hair, cut it, washed it again, and dried it and put some finishing touches. I trusted Jack and sorta just said, "whatever you think would look good." It came out looking very good. I'll say that this is perhaps the nicest haircut I've had in years. It set me back $38 (they only take cash or venmo), but I'd come again if I needed to look good for an event.
