I booked an appointment with Maggie on a Saturday afternoon. I chose this salon because it’s close to the barber shop where my son gets his hair cut. I’m so glad I came here!

I have left disappointed every time. It’s like they don’t listen. Also who doesn’t have a curling iron to curl the hair or even a flat iron for the stragglers not everyone wants a blow out. When your paying that much it seems like they are stealing when they don’t have this simple equipment to offer. Edit: In…

MADDY C.!!! THE WAY YOU UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT - THE HAIR IS UNBELIEVABLE. I don’t normally spend on haircuts/style/color but I’m SWAYED, I will be coming back for YOU. I am obsessed with my EVEN coloring and GORGEOUS style, loved the conversation and knew exactly what I wanted.

My experience was great. Yesenia was personable and when I walked in everyone was smiling. I love my hair. She knew exactly how to treat it, she was very careful and considerate, she used all the right products and I could tell that she loves hair. I felt safe and would definitely go back for another visit.

I booked an appointment with Maggie on a Saturday afternoon. I chose this salon because it’s close to the barber shop where my son gets his hair cut. I’m so glad I came here! The atmosphere was calm and clean. Maggie did a great job listening to what I wanted and executed a perfect cut. I had very long hair and asked for a blunt long bob. I showed her a picture and she got to cutting. I’m so happy with the cut and service I received. Thank you, Maggie!

Went to Maddy to chop my long hair off into a bob and she did an awesome job. It’s so cute and my hair feels so much lighter and healthier. Maddy is super sweet and friendly. Easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable immediately. Definitely recommend going to her.

I have left disappointed every time. It’s like they don’t listen. Also who doesn’t have a curling iron to curl the hair or even a flat iron for the stragglers not everyone wants a blow out. When your paying that much it seems like they are stealing when they don’t have this simple equipment to offer. Edit: In response to the owners comments. When In asked I was told that she did not have a flat iron with her. THIS IS NOT A SCAM AT ALL. I was a legitimate customer and the fact that you (Maricela) is not actually addressing the message is even more of a reason to not come back and deter others. Thank you for proving the point. ****Also I never sent you a message on messager to take down the review for $150! What a absolute lie!

Response from the owner · 5 months ago

This is a scam review, we immediately received a Facebook Messenger message saying they will take the review down for $150. Reported this to Google with the screenshot of the Messenger message. Side note: Of course we have all the tools necessary to run a hair salon.
