Corner Salon and Spa is amazing! The entire staff is friendly and professional, and the environment is calm, clean, and relaxing.

I was on Google trying to find a salon that was open on a Sunday and came across this one. I had never been here before, and with it being about 45 minutes from my house, I was honestly a little nervous to book. I am SO glad I did! I couldn’t be happier with my hair! From the second I walked in, everyone was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable. My stylist made sure we did what was best for my hair since it’s so thin and fine. I never felt rushed or pressured, and she made me feel confident the entire time. The end result is even better than I pictured. The color is blended so beautifully, looks so natural, and is exactly what I was hoping for. I’ve already gotten so many compliments! Thank you for giving me the confidence to step outside my comfort zone. Making that 45-minute drive was 100% worth it, and I’ll absolutely be back. If you’re on the fence about booking here like I was, just do it.. you won’t regret it! 💛

If I could I would give 0 stars. I was given a stylist that had no business giving a $200 perm. When she keep asking questions about the process my stomach begin to say I was in trouble. I ended up looking the same as I did when u came in when the perm was finished. The curl looked nothing like the picture they said would look similar. Then the hair cut age.began and I felt like she put a bowel over my head just. I was so update. The owner came over and I told her I would not be paying $200 for a perm.when my hair looked like it had never been down. I insisted she try to save the already a bad hair cut from the girl who gave the perm. She just walked away from her client and told the owner to do it. Very unprofessional. The owner at the end charged me $45, I should of not been charged after almost 4 hours and what the finished looked like.i do not recommend this place for a perm and ask what experience the girl has that will be doing it before starting.

Went today for a liquid gel fill with my stepdaughter and had one of the most relaxing and best nail services I have had anywhere. I saw Katie and she had seen Ashton this visit. We both left extremely happy and will absolutely return! By far the best salon around! Best part is that they are only 3 minutes from our house 😍
