Such a great experience every time we bring our 6-year-old daughter here! Ken and Cailey are incredibly kind and engaging with her, and they always do a fantastic job with her hair. Prices are affordable and reasonable too; honestly can't ask for more. So glad we found this place, highly recommend!
