My experience at this Aveda salon with Marjorie is always amazing! from the scalp and shoulder massage to the products to the cut, styling and the final result, I am always very well taken care of and extremely pleased! This time I even was able to purchase some Christmas gifts of Aveda products well ahead of the season! Thank you for everything!

I love Ashley the owner. I’ve been coming here for 6 years now and will never ever leave. My hair always looks great. She knows exactly what to do. She is an A++++++ expert. I am very finicky and sensitive and haven’t stayed this long anywhere but with Ashley it’s been a match made in heaven.
