Everyone was so sweet here. Holly did a great job with my daughter’s hair cut. She felt so special and beautiful and can’t stop talking about how much she loved going to the salon. I had my hair done by Ashley and she did a great job! She listened to my requests and made my vision work for my hair. She is so sweet…
