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.

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!

We went for a calico color arrangement on my super long super thick hair, the blonde lifter pink so we did a dark copper and a lighter copper. Lee was so awesome and so nice and made it really easy to tell her when I didn’t like something. Everyone else was also sooo nice and just a great community and environment…

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…
