Salon L'eau is selling faulty, damaged, fake extensions, but selling them/charging as much pricier, higher-quality, genuine hand-tied extensions as what is provided. I met with Tasha at Salon L'eau in December 2022 to discuss a blonde highlight/extensions installation. I was moving to the DC area this spring from…

Jean is the best. I have fragile hair and She listened to how I wanted my highlights to be subtle and natural, and executed it perfectly without any damage or breakage. She’s also fun to talk to. Highly recommend!

I have been going to LoAnn for over 20 years. I don’t ever tell her what to do with my hair I know she will make it look fabulous. My 2 daughters love to go to her as a treat once a year and she is so fun with them also. Lo Ann will tell you what will look good and what won’t if you have an idea. We are lucky to have her in the area!
