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!

I can honestly say I don’t go to anyone else for my hair anymore. Morgan always does a great job, but what really keeps me coming back is how accommodating and flexible she is with my schedule. She always makes the whole experience easy. On top of being great at what she does, Morgan is just a genuinely nice person…

I got a great haircut from a professional stylist. Excellent! But the cost, for a basic ten-minute men's buzz cut, including tip, was over $50. This is ridiculous.
