So I've previously been a drop-in-at-any-random Supercuts kind of gal and decided it was time to upgrade. After searching high and low, I'm so happy to have found Rion! I had some ideas of layers that could almost resemble bangs and let's just say past stylists had bombed it. With thicker hair, I also wanted to make it more manageable while still keeping it decently long. Rion and I discussed options during our consultation and she was so kind and helpful with her recommendations. Not only did I get exactly the new haircut that I felt great in, but she made me feel comfortable all along the way. She uses fantastic products and gives solid styling tips depending on your look and lifestyle. Completely recommended! read more

Love my haircut with Rion! My hair was looking so wild and she restructured my hair. She really listened, worked her magic, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. I also received a lot of compliments with how much healthier my hair looked after getting my haircut! On top of that, it was such a pleasure meeting Rion and connecting with her. I'll definitely be back! :D read more
