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…

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.

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!

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.
