After stating multiple times that I don't like deep, heavy bangs. I eventually agreed to a photo with a minimal bang and followed it up by placing my hand on my head and saying "ok, but I wouldn't want them to here or anything." She proceeded to give me literally half a head of bangs, almost two full inches behind the line I said was already beyond my comfort zone. Right before it was done, I was getting increasingly anxious with the plan and she challenged me with "what is your body saying?" I responded, "it's screaming no..." to which she quickly responded "well, I have a full body yes and I'm gonna go" and seconds later it was done. It wasn't that my communication was unclear and I'm still baffled why I didn't stand up and walk out, I've just NEVER been coerced by a stylist like that before! When I went for a repair haircut the new stylist heard my story and said, "let me guess, an Adeline?" Apparently she is know for this type of behavior, believing herself an artist who knows what you want better than you do. In the week since I've heard from several other's who were treated similarly and felt stunned into submission. I am going to regret visiting her salon for well over a year while this grows out. Pre and two posts. I wish I'd been warned, perhaps I'd have been less stunned into compliance.

Beyond her exceptional talent, Adeline's salon is a haven of inclusivity, welcoming people from all walks of life with open arms. You feel it the moment you step in--the warmth, the care, and the sense of belonging. Her commitment extends beyond beauty; she carefully selects products that are kind to both people and the environment, ensuring that every client leaves not only looking their best but feeling their best. Adeline doesn't just transform hair--she nurtures the heart and soul of everyone who walks through her doors. I am so grateful I found her. Service, Quality, and Vibe? Absolutely excellent.

She called…read moreto inquire if they had a stylist who knew how to cut curly hair and the receptionist said the did. The stylist apparently had 20 years of experience, so my daughter went ahead and booked an appointment. At the start of her appointment she discussed with the stylist want she wanted and even showed her a photo of how she wanted it cut, (the photo was her hair from a previous haircut at a different salon). The stylist BUTCHERED her hair. I know some hair stylist will cut curly hair dry, but this stylist didn't even look at her curl pattern she just cut inches off her hair. It looks nothing like the photo she shared when she arrived. She is in tears over this horrendous haircut. All of her beautiful curls are GONE. Definitely will not return and do not recommend this salon.

I'll start this off by saying that I appreciate the work that Bailey does! If she worked for a…read moredifferent company, I would continue going to her. But how this business is run is extremely unprofessional. They rarely answer their phone, do not respond to emails at all, and they make appointments that they cannot promise. I've dealt with the manager asking me to move my appointment with her because she didn't get time off at her other job. If she knew she would be working elsewhere that day I'm confused as to why she let me schedule an appointment in the first place. I've also dealt with the manager saying an appointment wasn't in their system, when I spoke with her literally the day before, and a confirmation text was received. When I asked for the owners contact info, I was told that she would contact me the next day. It's been almost a week now and I have not been contacted; which is unfortunate because if I was a business owner, I would want to know if my business wasn't being ran appropriately. I'm a brand new customer and all of this unprofessionalism happened within a single weeks time. I'm extremely disappointed because I was going to consider them for bridal/bridal party makeup for my upcoming wedding, but I would never chance my special day with this unreliable business. Let me recommend Indie Lash or Touch of Plash for lashes instead!

Both were on walk-in Saturdays and excellent! I have bad experiences from past tattoos (artists being rude, not listening to me, not getting what I wanted), and both experiences I've had here couldn't have been further from that. Note that they ask you to not take photos inside, the reason is really cool -- they have various original flash drawings (including work from Sailor Jerry and work for Janis Joplin!!!!) that they are protecting and proudly display on the walls. So cool. Piercing was really easy, they have a set earring that they pierce you with and also other pieces you can buy. I bought a ring here for my mom once! Tattoo walk in was also super simple. We walked up and told the person at the door our ideas for our tattoos, they asked us our budget, took our phone numbers, and told us to go carbo load before our tats. They gave us what numbers we were on the list and gave us a rough estimate of time. We left a $20 deposit to save our spot that went towards our total at the end. We were called (there were 3 of us) separately and only one person is allowed to go in at once. I think this is a Saturday exclusive rule because it's a smaller shop and they are getting people in and out of that door quick. When I was called, I hadn't eaten recently enough, so I ran and grabbed some donuts from the gas station down the street. I came in and sat at the corner while my artist sketched my idea. She showed me the sketch and I gave a quick edit, then we were on our way to sitting at her station. She prepared the spot on my arm and placed the tattoo outline for me to check if I liked the placement. I wanted it to be a little further down and she happily changed the placement for me. The tattoo took less than 10 minutes! She wrapped me up in saniderm, gave me an aftercare sheet and a sticker, and showed me some of Janis Joplin's flash on the wall (like, WOW.) I didn't specify my budget beforehand and she priced my tattoo at $80. I paid the remaining $60 (after my deposit) and left a $20 tip. I had a wonderful experience. A note about walk in saturdays -- you are totally at the mercy of which artist is available at the time. That's the name of the game.
