I wish I could give Jeff and Marlin a million stars! I drive from Buford because Eclipse is the BEST in the area. Jeff and Marlin are so creative, professional and fun. I have a very short, platinum blonde pixie cut. Color and cut are perfection! I just love my hair and get so many compliments every day. Don’t walk, RUN schedule your next appointment!
