Lauren did such a great job with my hair! I was looking for some fun color and she totally delivered. She had me so excited I was giggling in the chair, and she gave me great coaching for making the color last. I’m in love with my new color! It’s exactly what I wanted!

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!

Love the decor, cleanliness and space between stylists. Everyone treats you like a valued client and friend instead of a number. Great music! Also love the eucalyptus and lavender eye masks and hot towel included with your service and the beverages, snacks and blankets. Very professional. Only place I would go to. Very caring and compassionate staff.

From the moment you walk in and are greeted right away by name, throughout your appointment until you look in the mirror and see the stylist's work. The ambiance is second to none. They have a waiting area, which is supplied by snacks & beverages to have while you wait. I highly recommend Poppy Salon!!
