I typically see Ashley for my hair but I cannot speak highly enough of this whole team. They’ve perfected creating a warm and inviting environment and are equally just as skilled in all things hair. I love that there is a stylist here for every hair type!

Love Stephanie at Fringe. I’ve been going there for years. Tried long hair, short hair, curly, straight, extensions! Yes those pics are both me! So fun! I like to switch it up. Stephanie has been patient and thoughtful and lead me through it all. I’ve tried lots of places in Cville and Fringe is hands down the best!

Wanted to try out extensions for the first time and Teniya did absolutely amazing! Not only is she super knowledgeable about what she does, she has a warm personality that made me really enjoy the experience. I’m feeling so confident and have never had my hair look so good. Highly recommend!

I have been a client of Ashley’s for over 20 years! Her talent with all things hair never ceases to amaze me. She takes the time at every appointment to review likes and dislikes (very rare) since the last time. I put my hair in her hands and she hasn’t ever let me down.
