This is my second time seeing Elsa and she never disappoints. I usually get long layers and a trim with a blow out. She’s very skilled and knows how to cut my curly hair well! I’ll continue coming back to see her!

Have been coming to see Lana for years. Her and her staff are amazing! She’s a color wizard and really listens to what you want while being honest about what can realistically be achieved. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a true professional whether doing keratin, color or a cut and blow dry.

Was in NYC for a show and needed a blowout and straightening, as one does and, as luck would have it, was scheduled with Michelle. She was gracious and charming, very attentive to my wishes, but also shared her expertise and opinion, so that I could improve hair care on my own as well. Absolutely a pleasure to visit…
