Amazing experience. My scalp and hair has never felt or looked better. I had the scalp facial, color and blow out with style. Made a return appointment and provided Cove info to my friends. So, relaxing, great vibe and just what I wanted 🤩

Elizabeth always does such an amazing job on my hair (she's also cut my son's hair as well as all 5 of my daughter's hair, including a perm, different highlights, color, and styles)!

I went in to chop off my hair and Sam did such an amazing job! My hair feels so healthy again! I can't wait to go back and get the full spa experience with a facial. I definitely recommend Cove Salon and Spa! See before and after in pics.
