They are extremely nice. They offered me a free haircut because they couldn’t get me in on a different day with the time I needed. The haircut came out super cute and the hairstylist friendly and fun. I highly recommend them.

Today I had an appointment with Morgan A for a partial foil and haircut. I am absolutely THRILLED with how it turned out.

I highly recommend Bubbles salon ! Britt is hands down the best hair stylist I’ve ever been to. She absolutely kills it every time whether it’s a fresh cut, a gorgeous color, or a perfectly styled finish. She just gets it.

I have not had a quality haircut for 5 years since my last hairdresser. I walked in with very long, unkempt hair that needed some TLC badly. I walked out with a beautiful haircut and a reason to drive back to Charlottesville. Sydney was exceptional, knowledgeable, and I could tell she genuinely loved her work. I…

I've been coming here to see Tina for about 8 years now. She has my complete trust. Today I had the confidence to go for a radical change and Tina knew exactly what to do to match my desired style with my hair's behavior. Another winner!

They spent a LOT of time explaining the differences between relaxers and the Keratin treatment and helping me choose. I decided on Keratin and La'Nyah did an amazing job on my hair. She patiently blow dried and flat ironed it to perfection and advised me on the best products to care for it at home. It turned out…
