I’m so happy with my hair! I went to Melina to fix my hair color, and she did an amazing job. She was very professional, kind, and attentive to every detail. She is truly wonderful at what she does, and I absolutely love how my hair turned out! Highly recommend her, she’s amazing!

I got balayage with Taylor. Incredible technique, and understanding of color theory. He listened to me and gave me really good advice to achieve what I wanted. He was able to match the color to my skin tone/undertone so it wouldn’t wash me out. I will definitely be back!
