Abba did a fantastic job today on my son’s and husband’s hair cuts! My son is so excited to turn 3 tomorrow and go to preschool in a few weeks, he can’t stop telling people all about his new hair cut. She’s so patient and kind, we couldn’t ask for a better stylist!

These people are amazingly wonderful with my three-year-old daughter. She hates getting her bangs cut and has a fit, but they do such a great job with keeping her calm and cutting her bangs. Such nice people and do a very good job. They do a great job and give me lots of suggestions with my own hair as well.

I brought my daughter in on a Saturday as a walk-in expecting them to not have availability, however, Rain said she could squeeze her in! She was so great teaching my daughter how to prevent tangles and was super kind. My daughter loves her new style!
