Steve Hightower gave me a wonderful haircut and color. I will definitely go back. Also, he is very kind and caring. I continued to see Steve since my initial visit and can't say enough good things about his hair talent. He does wonders with my hair. Also, the facials are outstanding.

Luna was so sweet, but I unfortunately did not get the hairstyle I wanted even though I showed a picture 3 times, before and during the process. I also got my hair thinned which I did NOT ask for so it was not a good surprise. Won’t be back but the people were nice.

Steve was the 3rd stop of trying to get my hair color right and he nailed it the first time with highlights instead of full color. No one ever suggested that it was all I needed until I came to Steve. He is the best in the business and from what I've seen of his portfolio he is also an artist who is in high demand.…
