I was so happy with my soft blended highlights from Ashley. She really listened to me and did wonders with my very fine hair. Not an easy task! I was looking for something really natural because I only do color every six months or so. If you’re like me and you want something subtle that will grow out beautifully,…

Best hair salon in Charlottesville! We recently moved from Arizona and I was looking for a new hair salon, I tried a few different places across town, but none were great until I found HairSmith and CO. They are truly experts in hair and their pricing I very fair. I couldn't be happier that I have found my forever hair salon! I would highly recommend!

Hairsmith knows curly hair!! I found out curly hair should be dry cut then tweaked as necessary after styling and that’s what my hairdresser does. Thanks, Timo. If you’re after the same be sure to say because only a few are curly hair experts. I am ALWAYS happy with what Timo does with my hair!
