Ann was amazing. Had my hair styled after not getting a haircut for over a year and I had no idea what to ask for. She Ann-alyzed my hair type like some kind of tonsorial wizard/engineer and made it come out beautiful. I haven't felt this pretty since I was a little girl.

I've known Emily for years, and she's the only one I trust to touch my head so I went wherever she was out of. And let me just say, Ann's Salon was the best place she could've picked.

Had the best salon experience today. Everyone in the salon was friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable and fun. Mo did a fantastic job. I haven't been this happy with my hair in years. The cut and color were exactly what I wanted.

Came in with my self-esteem in the gutter And a lot on my mind. My hair is normally much blonder than it has been the last couple years and I got used to seeing my face one way, Went in for some highlights and a cut and Left with a huge smile on my face and more confident than I have been in years. Mo did an amazing job! Thank you so much.

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!

I've seen Ann a few times now, and as someone who has had multiple hair stylists throughout the world, she is one of my very favorite! She listens when I describe what kind of cut I'd like and she always stops during the cut to see if it's where I want to be going. She makes SURE she's giving you the cut you want.…

Provided me with outstanding service. The staff was really friendly, outstanding customer service, knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to make sure I was completely satisfied. Would recommend to anyone that is looking to get a haircut. By far one of the best places I will be going back again and having them cut my hair again.

I have had so many bad experiences with a stylist not "listening" to me when I describe what I want done with my hair. When my friend suggested I give Ann a try, I was skeptical.

Ann's salon by far is the best! I have been going there for years and have never had a bad experience. When you walk in you are always greeted as if you are family. The salon is always clean and friendly. I would recommend for anyone who hasn't tired it yet to make an appointment!

I have been getting my hair cut and styled by the amazing Moe! She is an incredibly talented hairstylist and even more, a wonderful human being. I never leave Ann's Salon without a smile on my face - the experience is more than an in-and-out haircut appointment. 20/10 would recommend!
