I went there for a hair cut and style and Kami Goss did my hair. Very nice and makes sure she takes her time to get things right and that your happy. All students work closely with a instructor and they are walked through step by step if the dont know how to do something and the instructor will also double check…

I went there for a hair cut and style and Kami Goss did my hair. Very nice and makes sure she takes her time to get things right and that your happy. All students work closely with a instructor and they are walked through step by step if the dont know how to do something and the instructor will also double check what they did and do know. Everyone ther is very nice. My mom and aunt liked my haircut so much that they wanted to get there hair done by who ever did my hair. So Kami Goss again was very accommodating and did a fantastic job as well on their hair. Very easy to make an appointment and prices are great.
