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!
Cultivate is hands down the best hair experience from start to finish.

I go to Sophia Chiechi at Cultivate and she has consistently done my hair exactly how I wanted for years! My hair also always feels healthy after being in her chair. She is also the sweetest so appointments are always the best with her. Highly recommend!!
I love this place!! My first time going, Sophia did my hair and did such a great job!! She gave me some amazing blonde that will be perfect and grow out very well. I love it so much. I will definitely be coming back when it needs a refresh.
I can’t get over how beautifully aesthetic this salon is. It almost feels like you’re on vacation when you get a service done here. They pamper you with head massages, warm neck wraps, complementary drinks and snacks. Shandrica the owner is so talented and always does an amazing job. I have finally found my salon.
I had the best experience getting my hair colored and styled by Jessica! She totally nailed the color, and my hair looks amazing. She's super friendly and made the whole process so enjoyable. Jessica is clearly very skilled and passionate about her work. Definitely recommend her!
Excellent service, and I always feel pampered during every visit!
Jess absolutely outdid herself with my birthday hair! I had a vision, and she took it from just an idea to a stunning reality. The all-over black with blonde pops is everything I wanted and more—bold, stylish, and completely me! Her attention to detail, skill, and creativity are unmatched. If you’re looking for…
Sophia knows what she’s doing! I came in with virgin black hair and left with the most subtle and beautiful full dimensional brunette - exactly what I wanted.

I had such a great experience at cultivate with Sophia! She has done my hair multiple times in the past as well, and it always turns out so amazing.

I came to Shandrica at Cultivate to fix my extensions from a hairstylist at a different salon. She was so helpful and worked with the hair that I already had and added to them and blended them perfectly. Ever since then I have been going to her. She belongs in Beverly Hills serving celebrities, she is that good!! I…
Went to Jess to get my hair colored, cut and styled! She did absolutely amazing and I couldn’t be happier with the results. She is compassionate with her clients and suggests trying new things but also respects when a client is unsure. Her confidence builds more and more every time I get my hair done by her. I couldn’t recommend going to her enough!!
I had an amazing experience at Cultivate! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was so relaxing and luxurious. Sophia did an incredible job on my hair—better than I even imagined! The color, cut, and style were all perfect. The customer service was also top-notch; everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back!
I've been coming here for a few months now and really enjoy it. The location is nice and there's always lots of parking available. The salon is on the smaller side (which I like) and the decor is very neutral and relaxing. My stylist (Stephanie) takes such great care of my hair!
What a great experience for my teenage daughter! Sophia was phenomenal in her work, very kind and supportive! She did everything what my daughter asked for and beyond! Place is really clean and very trendy. I recommend this salon to anyone in the area!

Ariana put in my first ever extensions! I had been curious about them and wanted some for a long time. She kept me at ease, made me comfortable and my hair looks amazing. I absolutely love it! Highly recommend Ariana and the whole salon!
I have been going to Cultivate for years now and I am consistently impressed by the quality of the service provided by the talented stylists! Thank you Sophia for a fantastic gloss and style; every expectation I had was exceeded!
Best experience ever! I haven’t been to the salon in about 10 years due to a bad experience but I was ready to give salons another try and it was amazing. From the scalp massage to conversations everything was perfect. I can’t stop smiling looking at my new haircut and will definitely be coming back for the next one. Definitely recommend!
Stephanie did a fantastic job on my hair on my wedding day! ❤️
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. It took about 4 hours, which was so kind of her to take me on because I was a day-of scheduler after seeing on Instagram that they had openings.…
