I got my hair cut and styled by Isaac and I am very pleased with the result! I came in with over processed, fine hair. I had been battling with breakage, dryness, and frizz and was in need of some help! He took the time to listen to my previous hair history and future goals to grow long healthy hair. He took into…

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.
