A very warm welcoming environment. Has new owners so wasn't pushing sales at the end. The stylist Laella felt welcoming, friendly, and wanted to make sure that I left with hair that I loved. Anything I wanted changed she did and took advice on how I wanted things done. She is going to be great stylist and asset to Neatbeat Salon.

Aynslee was so sweet and professional! She took the time to explain everything she was doing and gave me different options so I felt comfortable with every decision. She was easy to talk to, made the whole experience enjoyable, and I never felt rushed. I'm very happy with the results and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
