RaShanda was amazing. She detained, washed and blow dried my hair. She’s a perfectionist and took her time making sure I left her chair in great shape. I booked her last minute due to a cancellation from another stylist. I will definitely be back for more two strand twists and I greatly appreciate you!

I loved my service from RaShaua at walk in Wednesdays . Her shampoo felt so Good. She did four feet in braids for me. I have gotten so many compliments from men and women.
My mom and I both had our first appointment this past weekend and we will be back! The shop’s vibe puts you in the mindset of a sunflower field with Jill Scott singing in the background. The conversation flowed freely and every stylist was polite. I personally love the ease of booking and versatility of styles. I booked online, paid my deposit, and arrived for my appointment. You can get a silk press, braids, and pretty much any hairstyle you want in one place. I had RaShana and she can scratch a scalp like nobody’s business!

I’d like to start by saying the communication is top-tier. The salon is always clean, welcoming, and comfortable for everyone, regardless of age or gender. Both my daughter and I feel completely at ease every time we visit.
It took me a while to find another stylist and salon I could truly trust, but my search is finally over. Simply Glowing has officially become our new salon home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommend! 💜

It was my first time going to Simply Glowing and the vibes were so chill and calming. All the staff are professional and really pay attention to the HEALTH of your hair not just accomplishing the style requested. So grateful to have found a space I trust right in my neighborhood.
