This is, hands down the best hair salon! I spent years trying to find a hairstylist that I was happy with every single time. I found Ann and I’m never going anywhere else! She is the sweetest, kindest, and knowledgeable hairstylist (and friend)! The shop is always clean, neat, and everyone is beyond friendly. You won’t regret making this your hair salon!
