I love the stylist here; the girls are kind and talented! There are a number of student stylists in the salon learning and gaining experience while providing a service. The owner is receptive and pours her heart into her staff. I love this salon and my stylist Victoria!!

Growing up in the area, I have seen many many different hair stylists and been to many different salons, however, that being said, ever since I started getting my hair done here at CCB I have never been more consistent with a salon in my life. Each time I come in no matter which service it is, I am always pleased…
