I have been impressed with Sonja’s haircutting expertise, but I have to say that after my last cut, she sent me out of the shop with all of my top hair brushed down on the front of my face. I could hardly believe it. As a result, I am cancelling my next scheduled appointment, which I believe is on Wednesday, August 5.

I love Holly and Salon Afton. I had a stylist I that I loved for years, but she left the area. Tried a few other stylists who were fine, but not great. Read reviews for Salon Afton. The staff are all very warm and friendly. Holly is a wonderful stylist. Not only does she do my hair well, she also directs me away…

This is a Salon where you feel comfortable and each stylist and front desk get to know you if not by name but by face. They are very friendly and they give excellent cuts and styles. I had color done once (my hair is now naturally white) and it enhanced my white color. You’ll love this hair Salon!!!
