I had such a great experience with Shandrica! After struggling to get my hair back in shape, she truly transformed it and helped me discover a shade/color I never knew I would love. I really appreciate how thorough and thoughtful she has been throughout the process. Thank you, Shandrica, for your expertise and care!

I see Jess to get my highlights and haircut. She always makes sure to ask questions and know what I want exactly. She has guided me through my hair journey and explains to me what all is happening with my hair. Jess and the whole team are so amazing. I love the teamwork and that they are all so nice.

Sophia is the BEST! She helped me determine my vision for my hair and brought it to life each time. Her attention to detail is unmatched! Not only have I always had a great experience with Sophia, but the salon environment at Cultivate is amazing too. Love the little extra touches like a cold beverage or a hot towel at the bowl.

First time at Cultivate and Stephanie did my hair. I wanted to correct the brassiness in my hair from 10 months ago and so she decided on foilayage for my brunette hair.
