I’m extremely pleased as to how amazing my hair turned out. I went in to see Victoria. I showed her what I was looking for. She’s kind, bubbly, and honest about what color would look good for the fall season. In addition the instructors were extremely helpful and and friendly.

Liliah was great overall. The cut (trim) was just right. She asked good questions. But she left the hair color on my roots for too long. And I believe too light of a touch and time to set when she was pulling the color through to the ends. Also, she could have been more thorough to take the color on my skin at the front hair line.
