Customers frequently praise the salon for skilled hair coloring, particularly highlights, and attentive communication during services. Reviewers note the clean environment, reasonable pricing, and the owner's willingness to accommodate walk-ins or fix previous cuts.

I had done my hair at home and had some areas that I couldn't get to how I wanted. Looked at different places, but don't offer walk-ins. Then I was able to find this place, walk in, and the owner, Sheri, was working with customers. I told her my situation and told me to wait for a bit while she finished up. I told…

Sheri was amazing, my hair came out so perfect and exactly the blonde I was looking for! She is a joy to be around and even brought her dog Blue to the appointment to keep company! Her new spot in Eastside mall is awesome! You can tell that she is so knowledgeable and enjoys what she does, thanks Sheri!!

I had done my hair at home and had some areas that I couldn't get to how I wanted. Looked at different places, but don't offer walk-ins. Then I was able to find this place, walk in, and the owner, Sheri, was working with customers. I told her my situation and told me to wait for a bit while she finished up. I told her my idea, and she was able to fix it how I wanted it. She talked me through. the process of what I did and how she was able to correct it. She was very nice and very communicative about the process. I highly recommend going here. She is hidden inside the Eastside Marketplace, just past the bathrooms in the long corridor, she would be the last door to the left.

She was a no show for me. Appointment approved the day before online but when I showed up the door was locked with lights off, called then sent a text stating I was here, never answered. Then I saw a note in the door saying to message another number which this person did answer and said she was covering for walk ins ( I made an appointment) but they was unavailable to come. I read a review that this happened to someone else but due to all the other positive reviews I didn’t expect it. Communication is key, I hate leaving a negative review but I do feel it’s important to give others a heads up and hopefully the business can continue to improve from negative experiences.
