WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

First of all, the salon is super cute! Love the vibe. Second of all, Samantha did an amazing job of coloring my hair exactly like I wanted! I was hoping to go a little lighter, more blonde pieces, but looking “lived in” or balayage. She nailed the color and gave my hair definition! And the cut? I just wanted a trim and she did exactly that. Gave me perfect layers and just enough off the bottom to make my hair healthy again! Samantha absolutely hit it out of the park for the image I had in my head of what I wanted. 👏🏻 10/10 recommend Sam - I’ll be back!!
I had a great experience getting my hair done by Sam! I originally wanted a dusty pink, but with my thick, dark hair, Sam took the time to walk me through the cost, potential damage, and realistic results. She was super knowledgeable and honest. She will tell you if she thinks the inspo is achievable or not, which to me is very helpful! It sets a very realistic expectation and I don’t have to come home disappointed because we talked about alternatives! We ended up going with a subtle red violet shade (which I ended up loving even more 🥰)!! 100/10 recommend. The pricing is also very reasonable for the quality of service. The salon is clean, relaxing, and has such soothing vibes. Plus, the location is super accessible—definitely coming back!
I have been going to Samantha for several years now and am SO excited she found a home at this adorable salon! I have a TON of hair, and Samantha always makes me feel welcome, attended to, and loved on during my sessions - even though I KNOW she’s having to put in extra work to care for this mane!

When I started getting my hair colored, Samantha saw the vision and executed FLAWLESSLY. I have gotten so many compliments on how healthy my hair looks; the color looks natural and gorgeous. She is truly the greatest, and her heart is massive too - you’re in for some great girl talk with her. 🩶
Emily is a miracle worker! I've always had fine hair that is subject to damage. I had not had a cut in a couple years because of bad experiences at other salons-- unflattering cuts, not listening to what I want, styles that just weren't me. Emily listened to me and asked questions to better understand my needs and lifestyle. She gave me a cut and style that looks great in humidity, wind, sun, whatever the weather. I love it and finally have a look that makes me feel confident for whatever the day brings. I think this is an indicator of a really good cut and a very talented stylist.

Samantha did a great job cutting my hair! It came out very beautiful and she was very kind and thoughtful. I ended up coming back to get some bangs after she cut my hair the first time.
