Lesly does an amazing job. She's very friendly, professional and courteous. My hair looks beautiful and she's always done just as I've asked. The salon is warm and the receptionists are kind. We scheduled for me to have a haircut today and she knew I wanted to keep my length... she trimmed it perfectly gave me some…
