I really wanted to love this place! I booked a hair cut appointment online based on reviews with one staff member but was asked to come in early. When I did come in early, I was given a different staff member who was very nice but had limited skills in cutting hair or styling. She gave a me mullet that I had to get…

I've been coming to Salon EFX for 15 years and have recommended Zena many times. She's a great all-around stylist for scissor or razor cuts, long hair or short, highlights, color or whatever else you need. She's careful to consider each customer's unique style and needs, and always makes good recommendations. I'd give her more stars if I could!

Yesenia is an amazing stylist. After going through several stylists, she’s the one who truly listened to me and gave me the best cut for my hair and for my face. Additionally, she does wonders with colors and highlights. And finally, she’s just one of the nicest humans you will ever meet and she truly cares about her clients.

I have been getting haircuts from Yesenia now for more than two years . The reason I keep going to her is because she pays close attention to my concerns and gives enough time to go over pictures and ideas before cutting my hair. She makes sure you get the haircut you wanted and adjusts any changes you want after…

This shop is amazing. I saw Zena today and have been going to her for a number of years. She always does a great job with my hair. Not only is she a wonderful hair stylist, but she is kind and easy to talk to. The shop itself is comfortable and very well designed. Highly recommend this shop and Zena!

Zena has been doing a great job of taking care of my hair for several years. I get it cut and colored every 3 weeks. Zena genuinely listens to my feedback and incorporates my wishes. That is not the case with every stylist. I couldn't be happier!
