Kelly Kline has given me several men's cuts, from salons prior to her arrival at Salon 4862. I have also witnessed her providing her talents and long experience to women as well. She IS the ultimate professional with a vast knowledge, which also includes hair products tailored to each client's hair. Salon 4862 is lucky to have her in residence.

Let me first say, I've had so many bad haircuts in my life, that I was very hesitant to go in. However Kelly Kline is absolutely the BEST! She took time to listen to me, she validated my concerns, she gave me great advice and have me the best haircut I've ever had. She now has a client for life, I'll never trust anyone but her. If you're looking for a new stylist you will not be disappointed in Kelly give her a call!

Wonderful shop very mellow place adorable setup and then there is Sara. From the first call to the good bye she is outstanding. A true grandmaster of her craft. She has gifted eyes that can spot hidden beauty, she wields hands that shape and bring that beauty to form and she has a mind that is harnesses and channels her energy to both with precision and expertise. Damn she is good. Just look at this before and after...
