My daughter RAVED about her hair! She loved the cut and color. We really appreciated the time and attention the stylist took with her and the care she showed and practiced. My daughter had used Sun-In over the summer and we had a terrible time getting her hair back into decent condition and the stylist here really worked with her to help her out.

I had an awesome first time hair appointment with Laura! I wanted my roots a little darker, and then lowlights in the same shade to break up my too blond hair, and she customized the perfect new color and gave me a terrific haircut and blow dry to finish my look! I couldn't be happier with the result, and Laura…

My experience is always so great, especially with Jesse! The highlights came out amazing and my curls are still so healthy. After the initial color, I started rethinking how light the color was and Jesse was so kind and accommodating enough to tone it down for me and fit me into her schedule again. Both times straightening my hair and taking her time, not making me feel rushed at all! I’m really happy with my hair and I felt so grateful for her willingness to go the extra step. Thank you Jesse!

Once I found Graced Studio, I never left. Jesse is an exceptional hair dresser, amazing salon owner and has always told me what she suggests while listening to my vision, hair goals and what my hair will be able to manage. She is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell the passion she puts into not only her business but her team and clients. She is very well priced and WELL WORTH the money.
