Rylee was a phenomenal stylist! I had a difficult time explaining what I wanted but she was able to create the exact haircut and style I was going for! I am beyond happy with the results. I will definitely be returning for future cuts and colors.

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.

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.
