I have very thick curly hair, which makes it hard to find a stylist that knows how to work with it and I tend to leave disappointed more often than not. That definitely was not the case with Grace! Both the color and the cut turned out perfectly and I’m absolutely in love with the results! I’m transitioning to gray…

I come back to Grace because she is local, has lots of experience, does a beautiful shiny red even without bleach, accommodates hair struggles, and is pleasant to be around. Definitely coming back soon for my next touch up!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie! After struggling with different hair extension methods and being disappointed with the results, I was nervous about trying again. Katie completely exceeded my expectations! She took so much time and care to make sure my extensions were absolutely perfect, even custom coloring the hair to achieve a seamless match. Her attention to detail, patience, and dedication to her work are incredible. I have very fine hair, so finding someone who could give me the length and fullness I wanted while still achieving a natural looking result meant everything to me. My hair turned out even better than I imagined, and I couldn't be happier! Katie is truly talented, and I am so grateful I found her. I would recommend her to anyone considering extensions! 🖤

Her name says it all. She was my saving grace during my hair transition journey. She listened, understood my goals, and helped me through every stage with patience and expertise. I couldn't be happier with the results." Make sure you book with Grace Wheeler, her knowledge, care and encouragement made all the difference.

I have very thick curly hair, which makes it hard to find a stylist that knows how to work with it and I tend to leave disappointed more often than not. That definitely was not the case with Grace! Both the color and the cut turned out perfectly and I’m absolutely in love with the results! I’m transitioning to gray and she perfectly blended my current gray and toned down the warmth I had so that I can work slowly towards completely gray and still left my curl healthy and shiny. I highly recommend her! I have already scheduled my next appointment. :)
