I have gone to bubbles many times before and have loved going there every time. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean and welcoming. I had a mishap dying my hair myself and it somehow turned blue. I gave them a call and they were able to help me out same day. I would definitely recommend going to bubbles!

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. Her eye for detail and ability to bring my vision to life (or create one when I have no idea…

I’ve struggled for years to find a stylist who really listens, so finding Rebecca felt like a win. From the moment I sat in her chair, she took the time to understand what I wanted and offered thoughtful suggestions based on my face shape. Within minutes, I could tell she really knew what she was doing. The end…

I went in for full foil highlights with Megan. She did such a thorough job, making sure the bleach was lifting well. In the past I’ve had a lot of breakage with bleach, however Megan was very careful with my hair going section by section to prevent any breakage! She was very knowledgeable about all of my questions…
