Dani is absolutely amazing! From the moment I sat in her chair, she made me feel comfortable with her vibrant personality and genuine warmth. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted for my color, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood my vision before getting started. The end result…

I had the best time, the girls made me feel so pampered, trinity was excellent, and my hair turned out better than I expected it could! I can’t wait to come back.

She did such a great job with my hair and she matched my energy. I’m not a talker and she was kind and just let me hang out. She had another client while I was processing and that client was chatty and she matched her energy. She was so lovely and positive.

I have been here many times and had pretty good results. Yesterday I came in and paid nearly $500 dollars for a less than 5 minute trim across the bottom of my hair as well as this poorly executed partial foil. The owner was unwilling to provide a partial refund and defended this work. Save your money, you’ll pay…

Rylee is aaamazing! My grays were growing in spots and I didn’t like the way it looked. I’m also anxious going to the salon because it has taken up to 6 hrs to highlight because of the amount of hair and thickness and I’ve just had some bad experiences. But I put my trust in Rylee to lift my color and blend in the…

Amazing stylist! I went in for a root touch up and ended up with so much more! I am so, so happy with how my hair turned out! Not only did she blend my foils seamlessly but Rylee was able to remove the dreadful red that had overwhelmed my hair color. Topping everything off with a fantastic cut! Thank you Rylee!

Rylee is absolutely amazing! She colors and highlights my hair. She's not only incredibly talented with hair, but she's also the sweetest and has such a fun, upbeat personality that makes the whole appointment fly by. You can tell she truly cares about making her clients look and feel their best. I couldn't recommend her more. Rylee is a total gem!
