I booked this appointment for a very special day -- both my birthday and a close friend's wedding…read more-- so I was really hoping to leave feeling confident and excited. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. When the stylist first showed me the finished look, it was nowhere close to the inspiration photo I had provided. I asked her to redo it while I was still there, which she did, but even afterward, as I got ready later, I found many sections that were only partially curled or not curled at all. The curls near my crown -- an area I had specifically asked to be tighter -- were already falling. There were also no twists from my front pieces into the ponytail, as shown in the photo I provided, and in pictures I noticed the ponytail was splitting into two and wasn't centered. When she showed me the second, redone version, between not having enough time to request another redo and already feeling uncomfortable from our earlier conversation, I felt forced to leave with it as-is. Without the tools she had used, I ended up redoing a large portion of my own hair, purchasing products to fix it, and rushing through the rest of my getting-ready process on what should have been a happy, stress-free day. During the appointment, a conversation also left me feeling uncomfortable. When asked about my work, I shared that I'm a retired police officer who now runs a pet care business, and that I feel very blessed it's going so well. She replied, "Oh, blessed, huh?" and called it "an interesting word to use." When I asked why, she questioned whether I go to church. After I said not very often, she commented it was "interesting" I'd use the word blessed if I didn't attend regularly. I explained that I do believe in God, and her demeanor noticeably shifted before she said, "Oh well, never mind, that's good you believe in God." It felt unnecessarily personal and judgmental in a professional setting. After the appointment, I texted her to express my disappointment. I did not ask for any refund or compensation, despite having to redo most of my hair and buy products to fix it, but I never received a reply. I believe honest feedback is important, and unfortunately, between the quality of the style, the uncomfortable nature of that conversation, and the lack of follow-up, I cannot recommend this stylist.

Pam did such a great job with hair on my wedding day! She did mine, my moms, and 3 of my girls hair…read moreand they all turned out amazing. She came to our airbnb the day of with another women that helped her and they made great time getting us all done. Her prices are great and she is so kind and friendly to work with! Something I was unsure of though was during the trial run, my hair didn't really look how I thought it would. She would say things like, "on the day of the curls will be tighter," or, "This will be sprayed better". Now I'm a visual person, so if I'm not seeing it in front of me I have a hard time picturing it. When talking to some of my friends that do hair they said that its normal to not do the full up-do during the trial run though. Maybe I'm just being picky, but still I'd like to see the full product before signing a contract so I know what I'm buying. In the long run it didn't even matter though, because I ended up changing what I wanted done to my hair and it turned out absolutely gorgeous! I mean look at the picture, its stunning and it held up amazing all night. It didn't feel loose and everything stayed exactly where it was suppose to until I took out all of the bobby pins. I definitely felt like a princess with this hair! Pam also did makeup for me, my mom, and 1 of my girls. When I was doing my trial hair run I asked to do a trial make up run and she said she would, but that she wouldn't be the one doing the make up the day of the wedding. However, on the day of the wedding she was the one doing the makeup. Not sure where the makeup person was. I really liked the makeup, it stayed on well, and she gave us a little extra lipstick to take with for when ours wore off. The only thing is that in some pictures I feel like it makes me look older than I am, and that may just be due to the lighting and nothing with the makeup. Overall I was very happy with Pam and her services, she was friendly and great to work with, and did a wonderful job. Thanks Pam!

I would give her 10 stars if I could!

I went in showed her a picture of me from a few years ago with the cut and style I wanted. Since it's my hair I know I wasn't asking the impossible. I wanted movement and volume in my hair I wanted weight out of my hair. Long story short. No razor. She took the weight off the top but not the bottom??? And never bothered to give me a mirror so I could check the back. Styled my hair before I could get a full look at it and sent me on my way. Came home, washed my hair again. Styled it myself and was disappointed. I cannot recommend this stylist. Not sure if she is new or not she didn't engage much with anyone. But, I have only been once so I can't knock the whole salon. Loved the vibe and how the space is laid out. I would try it again, just would not book with her. I paid a lot for a haircut I don't like.

To top it off, the salon is beautifully designed! The owner, Kaitlyn, very clearly put her heart and soul into creating this beautiful space.

Malinda is ABSOLUTELY amazing. She is extremely professional and takes perfecting your brows seriously. She is highly skilled and is an absolute gem for our region. I do not wear makeup very often, but wanted to look "fresh" and have even brows without effort. Malinda achieved this for me. The entire process was explained thoroughly. TAKE HER SUGGESTIONS AND AFTERCARE SERIOUSLY. I healed amazingly with no issues and my touch up appointment went just as well. 10/10 recommend, 10/10 would go to see her again (not only for brows, she has so many other services), and 15/10 happy with my results.

The owner explained that it takes a couple appointments to get them completely the way they're supposed to look and that normally she would have me back in 6 weeks, but she was expecting a baby at that time. I asked her to let me know when she was back as I did not want to bother her right after giving birth. Time passed and eventually I reached out to her when I saw she was back at work. One time in December we made an appointments that I had to cancel one due to an oncologist appointment I. Madison. Although that's unfortunate on my end, she is aware that aside from cancer, I've dealt with two deaths in my family as well as heart failure and so many complications I can't even tell you. Conversation where she tells me she's done. She even says she knows my circumstances and too bad. I have lived through a hell most people will never know. My children's father, myself and my mother were all diagnosed with cancer within three months of each other and I watched both die horrible deaths, while I was too sick to do much. My whole life literally stopped. Fast forward to present. I am little by little trying to get back to some sort of normalcy. My brows are very patchy and light and I have to fill them because they're rough. I reached out to schedule and was told since I canceled twice she was done with me. So now I have to try and find someone to fix these?!? So I'm actually worse off than I started.
