This is my 2nd time seeing Cheysi and she never disappoints. 1st visit was to fix my fried brassy hair (that I did myself) to an ashy lived in blonde. This visit I got a reverse balayage with long layers. She’s very attentive and always exceeded my expectations. My hair looks straight from a Pinterest board and for a very reasonable price. Thanks Cheysi!

Cheysi is the BEST. I’ve had so many stylists over the years but since I met Cheysi 5 years ago, I’ve only used her for haircuts and color. She’s so fun and easy to talk to, fast but precise with her work. Cheysi has magic hands, she always exceeds my hair expectations!

This was my first time and this hair salon, and Zac was by far the best I've been to in a long LONG time! He was super friendly, made me feel like I'd been going to him for years, and was helpful with his tips and tricks. He listened carefully to what I wanted - I got a cut and balayage and it's perfect, I love it so much!! 🫶🏻
