Clara was so great to work with! I told her what style of haircut I wanted and she did exactly that! The easiest and best haircut I have had in awhile. Easy to book at appointment with her and I love her space in Sola. We definitely be going back!

First time there, definitely going back. Totally got what I wanted and I thought my request was going to be difficult (dark on top and purple underneath), Clara got it done with ease! Would give 10 stars if possible, I'm super stoked.
