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!

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!

The Experience Hair Studio is hands-down one of the best places for men’s haircuts. I plan on coming back every time. Emily is an amazing stylist, she really knows what she’s doing and consistently delivers great results. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, and everyone there is genuinely friendly. Highly recommend.

I can’t recommend The Experience enough. Every single visit has been consistently amazing, no matter what I’m coming in for. Whether it’s something as simple as a trim or something bigger like cutting off a significant amount of hair (which I know can make some stylists a little hesitant), they handle it with total…

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.

I recently moved back to the area and I needed to find a new salon. I did a quick online search and found your salon, and I am glad I did. You have a very welcoming environment, your employees are friendly and you can tell they genuinely care about their clients. KJ did an amazing job on my hair and I am excited…

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!
