A huge thank you to the wonderful stylist Stephanie Noland! She is a true professional. My reference for my hair color was my natural shade, and she matched it absolutely perfectly. I also got a haircut and I have to say it was quick and turned out exactly the way I wanted. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I am seriously obsessed with my Medusa weft extensions. They are so lightweight that I forget I even have them in, which is huge because I have fine hair and was always worried about extensions feeling heavy or damaging. They blend so naturally and give me the fullness I’ve always wanted without putting stress on my…

Audrey does more for my mental health than my therapist. My God! Gifted as the day is long. She did my K tip extensions, color, and keratin. I’m obsessed.

I had the best salon experience I’ve ever had with Audrey. I walked in with very thick, unruly hair — six inches of pure white regrowth and the rest a mix of old blonde — basically a complete hot mess. Instead of being intimidated, Audrey immediately put me at ease and walked me through a thoughtful plan for both…

The Refinery Hair Lounge is absolutely filled with talented stylists. Audrey is co-owner with Dawn and both are hair artists. Audrey has been doing my hair for years and always does a great job. I have stubborn gray and she covers it with EVO brand color. She is fun and beautiful.
