    Had an awesome first appointment with Laylan! The price was $115 (flat, tax included) for a medium length women's haircut plus tip, and the attentive, expert, friendly service was well worth the cost. We started with a brief consultation going over my hair care routine (very limited) and preferences for my haircut. I gave vague guidelines. She asked the right questions to help me decide on the right haircut and executed perfectly. Also introduced me to multiple products (without being pushy) to improve my hair are routine. I love my new haircut (which never happens) and will absolutely be visiting again

    I had the best hair experience I've ever had here! Benji did such an amazing job. He cut my hair and made me blonde and I love it! I can't wait for my next appointment with him. He was super knowledgeable and we had great conversations. I highly recommend if you want your hair to look perfect. It came out just the way I wanted it to. Inside the hair salon is upscale and modern. Everyone here was super sweet!

    I have gone to Laylan a few times for hair color/cut (first blonde balayage, now on to red for fall) this past year. She always makes sure to walk through what we are doing at the beginning of the appointment to ensure we are on the same page and answer any questions/concerns. Love working with her!

    I was recommended this place by a friend several times and I finally came to get a haircut with Gigi. She is so skillful and a great person to talk to. Never a dull moment during the hair cut. Most importantly, she checked off everything I had asked for and if anything, she went above and beyond that. Thank you Gigi, this is probably one of the best haircuts I've ever had. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a tailored, top-notch hair cut.

    Lots of layers.

    With so many great reviews on here and so much availability, I decided to give this salon a go. This was the only salon that I could find with appointments within the week, rather than two months out. I booked a consultation (which I highly recommend) with Gigi for my Intro to Balayage and haircut. Video consultation - It was a pretty brief but she gave me a rundown on what intro to balayage was. It was basically face framing and baby lights along the hairline. Gigi did great at explaining to me and we scheduled an appointment the next week. Before the appointment - Got there a couple minutes early from my appointment time and as soon as I walked in, it smelled so nostalgic. It didn't reek of chemicals but the fragrance they have in the salon was very refreshing. I checked in through the text which is suggested but I also let Gigi know I was here and off I was to her station! During the appointment - When I sat down on the chair, I knew I was in good hands. We started off taking some before pictures of my hair. The service went pretty smooth and there was small talk. Gigi provided me with a cut, color, wash and style service. When I looked at the color and cut of my hair I was obsessed. After the appointment - Once my hair was finished she went ahead and rung me up at her station. For the the Intro to Balayage and Medium Haircut cost around $280 with taxes. We took some after photos and I was off. I did ask for hair care recommendations via text which I forgot to ask during the appointment and am still waiting to hear back so I wish there was more communication on that.

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND BRITTANY IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO BRING YOUR HAIR BACK TO LIFE! My hair was super fried from bleaching and using hot products on it I almost thought I would never be able to help my hair get back to its original state . But after Brittany took a look she instantly knew which cut and toner I needed to get my healthy volume back . I can not thank her enough for the care and concern she had for my hair, she took her job very seriously which made me extremely confident in her enough to keep coming back . You can see in the pictures the complete 360. Brittany is now my go to hair stylist .

    Taylor Monroe is a beautiful salon. I recommend Liz. I was her long time client for regular root touch ups before I moved. She was so good about covering my exceptionally stubborn grays. Her shampoo head massges were amazing. Liz worked tirelessly to find a creative solution for my needs. After our initial appointments, she tried a brilliant method she discovered through at-home research to make her formula more effective. Benji, the owner, is warm & welcoming. There's also a cute wine bar next door.

    This review comes about 2 weeks after my visit but I've had some time to live with this new hair...and I still can't stop admiring my new hair. I am in full thanks for the color wizard, Gomez, for working with me to achieve this color. He took me from my really dark hair to this gorgeous light brown/dark blonde balayage look. The ambience of the salon was really bright and friendly. The salon was well lit, clean, and very organized. Even though it was a busy Saturday it didn't feel chaotic. My stylist Gomez was tha bomb! I loved how he talked me through the whole balayage process and explained the placements of my highlights and made sure that I loved the color before he let me leave the chair. I also like how he made sure to mention all the steps he was doing so I wasn't left in the chair with no communication about my service.

    This is my second time seeing Benji and he did not disappoint! I have very long hair that can be tough to blend and he does a beautiful job every time. He is also nice to chat with and everyone else he hires for the salon is incredibly sweet and talented. The salon has great vibes -- welcoming and not stuffy or anything. I find their prices reasonable for their high quality work.

    Before/After: solid color and keratin treatment
    Rayne K.

    Got full color (black) and a keratin treatment done by Liz. I found Liz because she did a keratin treatment and root touch up for my friend and it looked amazing. The salon is clean and cozy. Liz is such a sweetheart and so much fun to talk to. I'm beyond happy with my hair and see a huge difference in the smoothness. It takes way less time to style and manage my hair now and I've received so many compliments. I also met the owner, Benji, who was awesome and very helpful. Would definitely come back to this salon when I'm due for a touch up!

    You wait outside of the salon and let your stylist know that you have arrived through texts and they will come  get you

A friend of mine has seen Hector for years and recommended him, which is why I wanted to try. I initially hoped to see another stylist at the salon, but soon learned that that team member is no longer there. If the salon updates its information and availability, it would help set expectations for future clients.
