This was the worst place I’ve ever been to. They completely messed up my hair. I spent 5 hours there just to come out looking worse than when I arrived. On top of that, they overcharged me and demanded $300 for a “partial highlight” that didn’t even look like highlights at all. They never gave me a quote…

Way overpriced! $215 for coloring half my hair. Trimmed my split ends. Young inexperienced “stylist,” had no idea how to style my hair. Blew my hair dry and left it straight and kept pressing it down. I left looking like a hag! Never again!

I came in for my appointment with Birdy today for a color, highlight, tone & cut. Birdy was extremely helpful & full of energy. She knew exactly what I wanted & how to fix my previously colored/ highlighted hair to what I wanted. She was quick, but very efficient & I will definitely be coming back to see her!! Thank…
