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
Emily was Awesome!! Very Professional and knows her stuff!!!
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 absolutely amazing, she cuts and colors it and is so attentive and caring each time , she puts pride in her work, love her 🫶🫶
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!
Always a great experience!!!!!
Omg!!! Love my new hair!! It’s been years since I had my hair professionally done and im thankful I went to this place they informed me about my hair situation and dumbed it so I can understand. My hair stylist was super understanding and listened to my concerns I had about my hair I felt so welcomed almost ever…
This business is aptly named. Everyone was kind and the services were not only better here than other salons, but also cheaper.
Mason was fantastic! She did an awesome job with my cut 🤩
Fantastic service, great conversation, very relaxing and comfortable. Highly recommend!
Great vibe--friendly team. Best yet is my haircut was exactly what I wanted! I'll be back for sure.
Stylish was very attentive and worked well with my daughter which is 10. Explained what she was doing the whole time and made sure my daughter understood. My daughter felt heard and very important. Will definitely be going back. Everyone working there was very friendly.
Great place, reasonable price, and Emily was very professional and nice to talk with.
This is a fabulous place. They pamper you and really listen when you tell them what you are looking for. I have been a customer for many years and would not consider going to another place.
Emily always does my hair and she does and amazing job and always gets me exactly what i want of not better , everyone there is super friendly and welcoming and does amazing work.
The staff was professional, friendly, and paid attention to detail. The service included a hair wash, trim, and setting — all for around $$ which felt very reasonable for the quality and care. Clean place, smooth process, and great results. Would definitely recommend.
my hair was dead and my girls here always bring it back to life!! I will never go anywhere else. my hair is so healthy
My son and I went in today to get our hair cut, and Mason was awesome. We’ll only be coming here from now on! Highly recommend
Everyone was so friendly and amazing.
So glad I found this place! I was long overdo for a haircut and Emily took such good care of me. I left feeling so good about my hair and myself. It was styled so beautifully and I can’t wait to go back!
Super friendly. Felt welcome as soon as I walked in. Great haircut! 10/10!! Thanks Emily!!
Great place! Been going here for years and they keep our family looking great.
I have been going to Ken at The Experience for over 20 years. He does amazing work. Would never go anywhere else. They all do amazing work here and would definitely recommend to everyone.
Ken is the man! I’ve been coming to Ken for my hair needs for nearly 15 years and it’s amazing every time! Thanks, my friend! You are the BEST!
I have been going to this salon for many years and every single stylist does an amazing job with your hair and making you feel special. The owner is always more than happy to see you come in! If you don’t currently go here you are missing out!!
Amazingly Talented & warmly personable professionals!
Emily did an amazing job on my hair. I got an overall color, keratin treatment and bang trim. She took her time doing the work and it was worth it! The salon is absolutely NOT overpriced!! Everything was clean and the hair stylists were all friendly. Will definitely come back!
I love them! Everyone is so kind! They always make sure that my hair is perfect! Cailey and Mason are usually cut my hair and they do great!
Best experience ever! The vibe is relaxing and the staff are truly experts! They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and make sure you leave with what you want. Holly does amazing things with hair extensions and blending. You won't find better hair care anywhere!
I went in super nervous because I haven’t had a good haircut in a really long time. I ended up having Cailey and she did absolute wonders on my hair! I have been searching for years on a good hairstylist and now I officially have one! Definitely a 10/10! I will definitely be going back! Thank you to every other…
They definitely exceeded my expectations with my hair. I had grown out roots and an orange band in my hair that they were able to bleach and tone out. I left with beautiful blonde hair and the best haircut of my life :)
I'm not surprised to see this place has a solid 5 rating! I've actually never seen that before. So I made an inquiry online and KEN got back to me the same day and set me up for a color/highlight and trim with MASON. From the minute I walked in, until I left, I felt so incredibly welcomed. Everyone was so genuinely…
