Sarah really makes an effort to be accessible to her clients. She was very quick to respond to my…read moreinquires via email and was able to book me swiftly. I was super excited to get my first facial done, but I was worried my skin would hurt from extractions. I also was not sure what getting a facial done is like. Sarah actually made me feel so relaxed and pampered throughout the whole process! During my appointment, she asked if I would be okay with extractions. I felt so comfortable knowing she was interested in what I wanted instead of just going through the motions and treating me like any other customer. I had a Custom Facial done (which comes with a massage for your arms and legs); she catered the procedure toward my skin type/comfort and asked if I wanted any add-on services like an eyebrow wax. I did, and I liked the shape she made. The wax she uses is very gentle and did not irritate my skin. All the products she used were organic and smelled AMAZING. She asked about my skin's sensitivity to breakouts and inspected it to give me some tips following our appointment. She also introduced me to Eminence Organics Skin Care; I purchased a trial kit (~$50) with some of the products she used during my facial. Eminence has wonderful reviews online, and the products helped my overall skin texture/acne improve. She recommended I purchase a scrub or make a paste with baking soda to help my blackheads and T-zone, but it did not work well with my skin, so I discontinued that. I kept using the Eminence products and definitely recommend them. Yelp offers a coupon so I was able to get a decent price on the facial. Because I bought a trial kit of Eminence Organics Skin Care products, my total appointment price did run a bit high. However, that definitely is not a deal breaker for me. If you have the means and want to support a local business + invest in your skin, I really recommend you book an appointment with Sarah. My skin felt amazing afterward: soft, supple, and clean. The whole process was painless, and I felt so satisfied at the end. I will be back when I can! :)

My nail tech was super friendly and did an amazing job on a custom French manicure. I asked for a thicker style, and we originally planned for a clear top coat. But she accidentally used one with subtle glitter specks--and honestly, it turned out even better than I expected. It gave the look a fun, unexpected sparkle that I ended up loving! One of the thoughtful touches I really liked was that they give you your manicure kit to take home (if you are a first timer), which you can bring back for $3 off your next visit. Compared to other salons in town that offer Russian manicures, the prices here are very reasonable. The salon itself has a super cute vibe--kind of like a "cotton candy chic" aesthetic with a light, airy feel. And if you're into pop, dance, and hip hop Top 40 hits, the music is on point and keeps the energy up the whole time.

Georgia Bramhall is a curly hair magician. I loved the way she took the time to get to know what I…read morewanted out of my haircut but at the same time was confident enough to make the cut that she thought would work best for my curls. She begins with a dry cut, so she recommends showing up for your appointment with your hair down and in its natural form (try to have most of the tangles out for her sake and sanity :)). Her DevaCurl expertise was spot on. After the cut, she gives you a no poo rinse and condition and styles the hair with a DevaCurl technique. She explained the techniques she was using, but also informs you of ways to make it work at home for you. Her pointers for how to style your hair based on how much time, resources, etc. you may have are extremely reasonable and helpful. After drying for a short time she comes back and loosens up your curls and plays with them to develop a gorgeous finished product. I've never been happier with a cut! Stop by and see Georgia sometime. The salon itself is a hidden treasure. Friendly staff all around and plenty of refreshments to keep you satisfied while you wait (which is minimal).

She asked excellent clarifying questions. She worked slowly and carefully. She paid attention to individual locks, getting them to fall just the right way. I had made one mistake -- I hadn't asked what the haircut was going to cost. I'm used to a haircut (including the post-cut styling) taking 30 minutes. As Sara went past the 30-minute mark and then past the 60-minute mark, I started to wonder: What is this going to cost me? $200? $300? More? After 90 minutes, she was finally done. The result was fantastic! Exactly like the photos I had shown her, and very, very flattering. I asked how much I owed her, and she said just $60! I even asked, "Are you sure?," but I certainly wasn't going to argue with her. I made sure to make another appointment with her before I left. I'm a little reluctant to tell the world what a great experience I had, because I'm afraid Sara will get all booked up and/or raise her prices! But fair is fair, she did a terrific job and I recommend her highly.
