I'm in shock that the owner, with whom I had an appointment booked with for partial…read morebalayage/highlights, asked me to leave just because she didn't know what to do based on the consultation. I told her I'm really bad at explaining what I want but I just want to freshen up my roots for this weekend which I have a special event and my hair was looking too dark on the top and light on the bottom. I showed a few different pictures hoping she could choose one that was realistic and worked with what I have, making it clear I don't really know or care what exactly I want done but overall just needed to lighten the roots even just a little bit kinda pull a little lightness up for a fresh and cleaner look. I told her I understand it's not going to be exactly like any of the pics or perfect in any way, but she wasn't willing to try anything.. literally asked me to leave, saying we're not a good fit. I was shocked. I asked if she could at least do something, like a few highlights or even just toner or SOMEthing, and that I would come back again so we could work toward my desired look little by little. She didn't even offer to blow dry it so I would at least have nice hair for my event, she just kicked me out because I didn't have an exact specific thing I wanted done, or I guess it wasn't clear enough to her. I was forced to leave the salon with the same frizzy salon-day-just-woke-up-hair/ ready-to-get-my-hair-done hair, which completely ruined my plans for the day and the weekend as now I have to make time to wash and style and do my own hair on a very tight schedule. I almost feel like I did something wrong since I literally got kicked out of her salon, like I'm being punished. I'm a pretty shy/polite person; I was smiling the whole time and just wanted her professional input. After getting asked to leave I sat in the parking lot for an hour, sort of in shock, and started calling other salons to see if I could get a last minute appointment. But of course now it's late on a Friday afternoon so I have no choice but to make do with this frizzy mess for my special weekend. I'm in absolute shock. Very cold and unfriendly atmosphere. Not exactly the customer service I expected from a business owner. I felt kinda bad about myself after this experience, but I'm going to get over it right now and be the positive person that I am so I'm just happy and thankful to God for everything and every experience that I have, both the bad and the good, and embrace my hair for what it is right now!

I hate seeing myself in the mirror, and I get so anxious about having such thin hair and grossing out the stylists with it! However, walking into this salon, you immediately feel relaxed - it's clean, bright, and so welcoming. There are huge windows and fun music is playing. Just love it. Tessa was my stylist, and she was truly incredible. Her blonding techniques are INSANE. I am always so nervous and embarrassed by my thin hair, but she made me feel totally relaxed as she did my cut and color. She is super talented and I highly recommend her. The little things here are what make it stand out - a TV is on the wall by the shampooing station, there are tampons in the bathroom, and there's an ADORABLE dog, Ziggy, walking around as the salon mascot! The owner, Maggie, thanked me directly when I was checking out, which was really thoughtful. She also showed me some extension options in case I ever decide to go that route. They're very open about pricing here, which I find is so helpful. Overall, I can see myself coming here from now on - the prices are very reasonable for the services. Come see Tessa! She's a hair magician!

I am always so happy with my lashes and I genuinely enjoy spending time with Nikki. She is passionate about her business and works hard to always be on top of the latest trends and techniques.

She was super gentle, especially on eyebrows that have spent way too long without being threaded. Another trainee was watching Jillian and we all learned so much from her! My eyebrows look incredible and they weren't red!! The ambiance of the place is great. There was a Whitney Houston playlist going when we came in and her star spangled banner came on and two older friends were having such a beautiful moment listening to it. Holly and I both commented on her incredible salon chairs, they had a great foot rest and they spin so your threader can use the strongest light and stance. Ruby, congratulations on this amazing achievement! And thank you for sharing your talents with others. Even though it's 1.5 hours away for me, I'm still there.

I also masked because I had no short term memory for a year due to Long Covid, and over time things got more and more tense and I had to cancel my last appointment because I felt really uncomfortable. Dealing with constant discrimination in general for masking despite being a part of the community, I opted to not get my hair cut because I was really sick of it at the time. I even sent a message through their website to the salon to be more accommodating and inclusive and never heard back.

Because of Kaitlyn I have a signature look. I went for years and years (and years and years)…read morewithout a haircut because I was traumatized by mediocre stylists who a) had their own agenda or b) didn't listen to what I wanted. And then I read about this rare (what I thought was a mythical) creature - a stylist who actively cared about what her clients wanted, while also providing brutally honest feedback about their current hair situation and their hair vision, but then worked with them to achieve something otherworldly. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but that's how I've felt. I came to Kaitlyn with a tangly brown limp mess. I wanted an ombre (a multi toned hair effect) of my natural hair color to white then blue. Instead she offered up a moderate balyage (highlights blending seamlessly) of aquatic. The next time I saw her, more of my hair was balayaged with aquatic, and now basically my whole head is aquatic colored. She transformed me into a sea queen, and everywhere I go people compliment my mermaid hair (no, really, they do). And I legit had nothing to do with it. I never thought I'd have ocean-inspired hair, but it looks so natural that the first time I did it people were like "yeah, that's how you were always supposed to look." WHAT? She also trims me up and offers advice on how to manage the style (french braids are a go, messy buns always work, pony's should be avoided, and can we bring back the scrunchie already?). And I know, without a doubt, that the moment I were to walk in and say, "I'm done with this, could I have something 'normal' please?" she'd find the exact perfect look for me, my face structure, my skin tone, my personality. My partner also sees her every four to five weeks; she keeps his hair and beard line fresh. Love the studio itself - it's small but very modern, minimalist chic. There's ONLY street parking, so if you're in it for more than two hours you might wanna consider Ubering. Also, there are other talented stylists who work here, so maybe go see them? Because Kaitlyn's booking up way to fast and far out now for my liking. (No, it's okay, really, you can see her too... Iet's live in a world where everyone loves their gorgeous hairdos).
