I love Hologram salon! It’s not too big, very welcoming and an upbeat, but relaxing atmosphere. Lexi is awesome, she understands exactly how to cut my hair, and I get tons of compliments, even when it’s been a while since my last cut. I highly recommend Hologram, and especially Lexi.

An amazing experience every time. The salon is welcoming and intimate. I brought my 77 year old mom in as well and Melanie was so kind and wonderful with her. She was very happy with her hair as well. Lexi does a great job with my thick and very dark and curly hair. As I type this, I’m walking out with stunning highlights.

This is a great salon. I have seen a couple stylists and have always been happy. Recently, I saw Maggie and absolutely loved my color and the cut. She was also really funny and I enjoyed our whole conversation (and I'm usually someone who runs out of small talk about 20 minutes into a hair appointment). I will definitely be back to see her!
