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.

I cannot express how thrilled I am with the incredible work that Steve Hightower did on my hair at his salon. He performed a bleach double process, followed by a charcoal glaze that left my hair free of any brassiness and with a stunning, long-lasting shine. To repair any damage, he used an amazing Lanza emergency…
