I went to Poppy Salon recently as the stylist who had been doing my hair for the past 25 years got out of cosmetology. Jordynn did a great job on my hair (which had been previously colored poorly.) I am so thankful to have found my new stylist!

Alysa deserves 10 stars! I’ve been seeing her exclusively for the past 5 years and I’ll never go to anyone else.

My go-to stylist is…
