Jan got me started on pedi & mani with diligent young lady- was great! By 1:12pm Jan was finally ready to cut my hair after shampooing, $15 eyebrow wax that she talked me into, & finally voila, a $55 10-min haircut with no layers nor shape. I asked for side bangs 3 times & each time was met with resistance. "I don't want to cut too short" I gave up after the third ask. Conversation was also intrusive - where do you live? What's your job? What's your ethnicity? This is supposed to be a relaxing experience, not an interrogation. Total bill $145. Will not be going back for sure.

She takes her time you don't feel rushed or like a "number" as I have felt in other salons. I always get compliments on my hair. I am a 2yr. breast cancer survivor and I am extremely impressed by Krystal's dedication to spreading awareness of the disease and raising money for the disease in October. I highly recommend this salon. People are often shocked by my response when they ask "who does your hair?" and I state "Smart Style." Their response is often "Your hair looks like you walked out of a five star salon." My response is "I did!" The prices are extremely reasonable, the staff is professional and friendly and the quality of service is five star.
