They didn’t disappointed us. My wife and I booked online. The staff is very nice . They pampered us to be happy and placed with their services. The address is very easy to find. There are many restaurants around and the metro station is only 3 min walk from the salon. We will be back for sure .

Jessi did an AMAZING job with my hair. I have curly, short hair and most hairdressers look apprehensive as soon as I walk into the salon, but she accommodated everything I wanted and really took time to make sure I looked good. Would go back in a heartbeat!

I’ve seen Jessi twice for a Deva cut and color and have been very pleased with her work.
