My hair is layered, much lighter, and better looking. Holly removed the dead ends from my hair and also made it look new and healthy. Thank you so much
Lee is fantastic! I have fine hair, and she really took the time to listen to my concerns while going above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with my cut. The salon itself is clean, and all the staff are friendly. The prices are very reasonable. Excited to have a routine salon and stylist to visit going forward!
KJ is a great stylist with a great personality. The vibe is good, and all the staff are welcoming and friendly.
I have been a client of Holly's for about 2 years or so now. The studio is clean and feels upscale. Everyone is so friendly and charismatic. I love getting my hair and brows done here. They truly take care of you as if you were one of your own. They are also involved with the local community!

Each time of my appt; I don’t always know what works with my hair, and at times I do not represent myself well. Emily is detailed and always adds that extra tag line to help me think thru and get what will work for me. Em is never pushy, always inquisitive and discusses all choices with me.
