Danielle did a PHENOMENAL job cutting and styling my hair!!!! If I could, I would give her 100 ⭐'s. I came into her salon for the first time hoping she could do damage control from a hideous haircut I regrettably had elsewhere earlier in the week.

I needed a last minute appointment and wanted a place close by. I'm SO glad I booked with Lauren at Alter'd Culture. Lauren is amazing, fun, and professional!! She cut and styled my hair based on some inspo videos, and she nailed it. My hair already is visibly healthier, and I just couldn't wait to write this review. I'll definitely be back!
