Ellements SalonShannon has been my stylist for over 15 years. She is simply the best! My color and cut is always beautiful and I get many compliments on my hair! Shannon is very professional, on time and great at communicating and conforming my appointments. I will never go anywhere else!
Rock Paper Scissors Salon and Lux…I have been going to Kristin for 10 years. She is the best. She always makes me look good. I get so excited for my appointments. Highly recommend her
Hair by Sierra - Chromatic StudioSierra has been doing my hair for about 10 years and there is no one else I would let touch my hair. She is great at what she does and very good at understanding what you’re asking for. I would highly recommend her for all your hair needs
The Medical Spa & Hungry Hair Sal…My mom and I celebrated her 90th birthday with a Spa Day--massage, facial, brow shaping, lunch, shampoo, haircut, blowout. It was WONDERFUL! Everyone was so sweet, and really made us "old ladies" feel pampered and special. We are definitely planning a return trip.

How we grade
Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.
Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
