I had an excellent experience with my new stylist, Agnieszka at Inspired By Love Salon! From the moment I sat in her chair, I felt completely taken care of.

Agnieszka did an amazing job with my hair! I absolutely love my rich chocolate brunette color and beautiful haircut. My hair looks healthy, shiny, and refreshed! Highly recommend her! ❤️

I had such a great experience with Agnieszka! She was super sweet and really listened to what I was wanting to do with my hair. I really appreciated the input and advice she gave me to help me get my hair where I want it to be. We also talked about extensions, and I’m looking forward to getting those done with her soon! Definitely recommend her!

My daughter got her hair cut and colored by Amber and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we walked in we were greeted and she was ready for us. She listened to what my daughter wanted and did exactly that. My daughter has naturally curly hair and a lot of it. Amber was so patient with her and my daughter kept smiling the whole time she was there. This is probably the best haircut she has ever had.

Agnieszka did my hair and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the moment I sat down, she was so patient and kind, really listened to what I wanted, and made me feel completely comfortable. She gave me exactly what I asked for, and honestly, it’s brought my confidence right back. I walked out feeling like a whole new person. She’s such a kind, talented, and genuinely gifted hairstylist — I can’t recommend her enough!

It is not humanly possible to love my haircut and highlights from Heather more than I do. A couple days ago, I went from hair just below my shoulders to a pixie. Heather, who listens like a dream and will always discuss what we’re gonna do, took the three “I like this” pixie pics I brought, each a little different from the other, and gave me exactly what we talked about. She’s priceless.
