I had a horrible haircut--elsewhere!!--a few months ago where there was something different and wrong with each section of my hair. Hunter at Inizio was great and fixed everything meticulously, section by section!
Hunter was absolutely incredible with my curly hair! They were so kind, so willing to educate, prompt, and I was left with fantastic results. If you have curly hair, I highly recommend Hunter.
Love this place! Alyssa always does a great job with my hair. Great atmosphere too - very welcoming and the decor is on point.
Brennan was fantastic, as usual! The atmosphere overall relaxing, from the wash through leaving the salon. Everyone is friendly and happy to join in a chat, which makes it a fun time.
I had a first haircut with Elena. She is delightful - warm and kind and a terrific hair cutter. We talked about what I wanted for a bit and then she gave me a fabulous haircut. I also got a fantastic shampoo and condition and a hair treatment. All were relaxing and great for my hair. I highly recommend Inizio and Elena.
Wonderful welcome, great haircut and top notch service!
Chevelle did my hair and did not disappoint! She was kind, took her time, and executed exactly what I wanted. Thankful I found this awesome salon!
I loved my experience at Inizio salon. I was greeted and given water. Elena listened closely as I described what I hoped for in my haircut and my journey learning how to style my wavy hair. She executed with ease and gave me tips on how to style to get the results I’d like in the future. I’m very happy with the results!
I’m editing my review to reflect how above and beyond the owner of the salon, Elena, went to help fix a haircut. My initial cut with a different stylist did not come out quite how I envisioned, but Elena made it a point to reach out to me directly, get me in ASAP, and help get the exact kind of haircut I wanted. She…
Hair treatment was great. Elena gave us a lot of information in regard to hair type, what needs to be done, and what products to use.
Went to Brennan for a cut, and he did a great job taking care of my 3B/3C curls! The salon is great! Clean and bright, staff are friendly, and the massage chairs during hairwashing are the best. I highly recommend Inizio for all your needs!
I’ve been coming to Alyssa for 3 years and she never fails to impress me! Great cut and color and she always takes the time to discuss what you want, what would look best on you, and fix anything you aren’t sold on. The salon is clean and a fun environment.
DROVE 10+ TOTAL HOURS AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! I’ve struggled to find someone near me that I could actually trust with my hair, so I had to venture a little further out (I live in NJ). A friend recommended that I come here and see Elena, and she was seriously so great!!! She was truly worth the drive. She made me…
Great experience! Jayson is super accommodating and walked me through my first coloring. Very happy with the results.
I have been going to Alyssa at Inizio for years, and - I mean the pictures speak for themselves, right?! (And they’re unedited y’all!) She's a genius with color, including and especially blonde. She is even styling my hair for my courthouse wedding ceremony - like she is THE BEST! Alyssa is not only a master of…
I love my haircut and my overall experience at the salon was fabulous. Fresh and inviting cozy atmosphere, professional and friendly staff, and a massage chair at the wash sink! (I'm a sucker for the little things). I highly recommend Brennon. While I have pretty fine straight hair, his client prior to me left…
Hunter was great! Had a wonderful experience, they were very attentive and helpful with any questions I had. They got me right fr
Hunter did an amazing cut with face framing highlights! Reasonable price and consistent results- I always come here for my mullet. Highly recommend.
I have been going to Inizio for almost five years. From major life moments to ordinary Tuesdays, it has been the place I come to reset, recharge, and feel like myself again. The energy is always warm, the conversations are real, and they lovingly tolerate all of my random, dramatic, sometimes unhinged topics while…
hunter was amazing!! they were extremely considerate of what i wanted and was careful with creating exactly what i had envisioned. super gentle and kind, would highly recommend!! the hair steam part of the curly cut package was exceptional, and so was the entire service!! i will be coming back regularly :)
