I brought my 11 year old here to get her first salon experience and we weren’t disappointed!! Our stylist made sure my kiddo felt comfortable and relaxed the whole time! The atmosphere of the entire salon was peaceful and relaxing. We will definitely be coming back for all of our hair care needs!
Second time here for root color and blow out. I have curly hair and the blows outs both times have been fabulous.
Excellent haircut and highlights by Kim. Exactly what I wanted in the color.
Sonja is great
Marcia with the adorable curly red hair did a phenomenal job on my hair! She listened to exactly how I wanted it and made it happen! Highly recommend 10/10
I had a wonderful experience. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I had been growing my hair out from a pixie cut and was looking to refresh my look. Holly really listened to what I wanted and delivered amazing results!
Salon is beautiful, peaceful and welcoming. Selina was terrific and so personable . I think I found my new salon.
First visit to the salon and it was great! Aubrie was fantastic and eager to listen to my hair style request. I received exactly what I asked for and I highly recommend Aubrie! I will be returning for color next and I look forward to it.
I went in for a hair cut with Mariah. She did an amazing job. She let me know what she was doing with every step. I felt very comfortable in her chair.
This is the best salon. They love seeing you as much as you will love being there. They work so hard to give you exactly what you want while also guiding to give you the best style that fits. Everyone is wonderful and you are safe in all of their hands no matter who you book with!
Love Selina!! Love the service
Kim, Mae, Holly, Aubrey have always taken good care! Not just of me- my whole family. We love the quality and care this place has. Nancy at the front desk helped me take these photos. It is always a very welcoming environment! Very professional staff; I am always quickly served and helped to setup my next visit.
Great experience today! I called to see if there were any appointments available for a haircut and they got me booked the same day. Mariah was very nice, explained everything she was going to do before she did it, and made sure I was satisfied after my hair was dried (she said I could have her cut more if there were…
What a lovely salon. Warm, friendly. My stylist was talented and listened to my request.
Awesome experience. Sonya was amazing. Did a great blowout. !
Aubrie does great cuts. Nancy at the front is friendly and very efficient.
This was my second time going to Ashley at Afton Salon and she is so great!! She listened to what I wanted and helped me make decisions that worked with my hair and gave me tips on how to style my hair. I can’t recommend the salon or Ashley enough!! As soon as you walk in the receptionist is welcoming and offers…
Got shampoo, cut and style. First time visiting this salon and stylist. Amazing atmosphere. Stylist listened to what I wanted and did an amazing job. Cut was on point. Went over styling products for my hair needs. I will go back.
Staff is Knowledgeable, talented and so kind. Blessed to have found them! Highly recommend 😊
Selena did an amazing job exactly what I asked. She was quick and proficient did not waste time and did it with excellence would highly recommend.
Sonja did my hair yesterday and it’s gorgeous! I had tried coming up here a few years ago and was not entirely thrilled with my experience, so I have been hesitant to come back. It was the only place I could confirm to have openings in the timeframe I needed before work. Sonja has completely earned my trust. She was…
Ashley did a great job and was determined to have me leave satisfied and happy.
Loved this salon!
Everyone was friendly. Didn't get the style I wanted even showed her a picture. The price was outrageous, 200.00 for just a perm not counting a haircut (1"), blow-dry and styling. Oh don't forget the tip, the stylist will stand there until you are completely finished paying. Almost like intimidation. I won't be returning.
My experience at the Salon Afton was excellent. Aubrie cut and dried my hair, very friendly and my cut turned out just as I expected. I loved it. ♥️
Great service. The stylist, Sonjia, helped me select a beautiful, easy to manage style based on what I was looking for. I really appreciate the guidance! I loved the results! Will definitely come back and recommend!
Rhianna was amazing and gave me the style I really wanted. Salon is super cute, great staff.
Amazing work
My first time at Salon Afton, Nancy front end manager and Rhianna Kaehler were fabulous! Rhianna was honest about my current cut and how we can grow into the style I want. She gave me a great haircut and was a pleasure to meet! Looking forward to going back soon.
I just moved to area past year. Ive been looking for a salon i liked. I definitely have found that salon with them. Did exactly what i asked & helped me make rite choice for my haircut n my hair style without cutting to much off. Definitely recommend going here if you haven’t. I have a 18 month old that I’m a stay…
First time there. Everyone was very friendly.
It was great. Love it!
My poor stylist got from me nothing… what would you like? Me: I don’t know. What did you feel like? Me: I don’t know, is this how you normally part your hair? Me: I guess it depends on the day. I’d just like something keeping the length but giving me a style but I don’t use products ever. That’s what she got from me…
I finished my Dr appt and received wonderful news. My appointment with you was my celebration. Thank you
Salina Ramos is so professional. Creates a relaxing visit. Excellent cut n foil. Thanks
Mae was So Incredible!! She is VERY Knowledgeable in Hair Loss and in almost any cut or style you desire!! Found my permanent Hairstylist!!
Loved the service I received yesterday 1/13/2026 which was also my birthday! Love how my hair turned out. Would recommend 10/10! 😊
I went in for highlights and haircut with Sonjia and loved it! She’s very talented, listened and made the whole experience enjoyable. Go book your appointment with her!
Great as always. Gifted staff and such a relaxing environment. Kudos to Kim Cameron and her staff! ❤
Abby is the best!! She always tells me exactly what she’s doing and why. She also gives me realistic expectations between what I want and what my hair will actually do. My hair looks and feels amazing after every haircut.
Absolutely amazing salon, everyone was so friendly, Abby cut my hair and did a phenomenal job. I will be going back for sure, 10/10
Salon Afton was wonderful. I was able to get my young daughter and I’s hair taken care of at one place. They were kind, professional, and our hair looks great!
I love this salon! Everyone is friendly, lots of parking, and many skilled stylists.
Mandy was amazing! She gave excellent hair care advice and the cut is perfect. Will be back for sure!
Abby did a wonderful job listening to me and styling my hair. She was knowledgeable and professional. I would gladly recommend go to Salon Afton and their wonderful staff.
My appointment went great! I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to a salon and my experience here was fantastic. I am pretty simple when it comes to hair but it was cut exactly how I wanted. Definitely returning!
Abby was amazing! She listened and connected with my teen. And she was efficient and had us in and out. We love the haircut
I was greeted and offered a beverage, at first I declined but saw other customers enjoying one and asked for one too. I explained what I wanted and the trouble I have had with hair loss and Hayley listened and cut it the perfect length and styled it just right. Thank you so much!
This was my first visit to Salon Afton. My hair was a mess when I walked in. Selina did a partial highlight, cut and blow dry. I’m just starting to let my natural gray grow out without root coverage. She chose an ash blonde highlight and I absolutely loved it! I give Selina 5 stars, but the cost was a bit high, so 4…
I had a great experience at Salon Afton! I had long wavy/curly hair that was a bit dry on the ends. Aubrie got it to a healthier length so I can keep growing it out, and she had lots of great tips for taking care of my hair type.
Great service, kindest staff! Love this place!!
Mandy was very sweet ...everyone was so nice. I think she did a great job on my hair also. Thank you
I had a wonderful experience with Whitney! She was honest and helpful with me about the best type cut/color for my hair. Highly recommend!
Mandy was an absolute angel and gave me the EXACT haircut I wanted and needed. I can’t wait to book my color appointment with her. She was super knowledgeable about what my hair needed and was also super friendly. I’m so glad I found her! 🫶🏼
My daughter and I have had wonderful experiences with Abby. Prices are a bit more then I thought however, I’m happy with the results.
Loved the atmosphere before even walking in. Very cute and trendy. Even better you can bring your dog with you!!
Holly did a great job on my hair! I was super nervous heading to a salon for a cut after moving away from my hairstylist family but she did exactly what I wanted and gave me some cute curls which I never do myself!
Great! Very pleased. Will definitely be my new spot.
I always have a spa moment when getting my hair done! Kim has been amazing to me in the years I’ve been coming to the salon. Her crew is amazing as well. Never disappoints!! ❤️❤️❤️ I'm also blessed with her support where now I am regrowing hair after losing it all due to cancer. That alone has meant the world to me.…
I booked my appointment online with Whitney for a haircut. I have poker straight hair and it’s thick and coarse so I struggle to find someone who can give a good cut without it looking like a bowl cut. I have used several stylists in this shop and have been very pleased with the results. Whitney gave me an awesome…
