Lanyah took such good care of me. I’m going to be honest I was so nervous and put off my hair care so much to avoid any big changes. I carefully searched for the best person to cut and style INCHES of curly hair. I could not have chosen someone better. Thank you so much for being so attentive and careful.

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.

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!
