Absolutely love the entire team here! It’s wonderful to find a salon that can execute your vision while tailoring things specifically for you. It’s easy to grab screenshots of your “dream” hair style/color, but finding someone that can make it match your needs is rare. I’m constantly grabbing pictures of hair colors I love, but I also know I’m not good at maintaining appointments every 4 to 6 weeks. Both Andrea and Emily have been able to take my vision and execute it in a way that it works for me. I get the color I love without the obvious growth line that requires scheduled maintenance. I also love my haircuts here. I’m very particular about layering and I also have a tendency to request wild changes if I’m having a particularly difficult day/week/month. I love having a stylist that knows how to balance me out - meet me in the middle with trimming a few inches instead of chopping a foot. 😂 They are also great with kids. Andrea takes the time to get their opinion and involve them in the process. I have a neurodivergent preteen who can sometimes be hit or miss in the chair, and Andrea is always incredibly understanding. It’s not often you can find someone that will interact with them at their level, and I always feel that he’s safe in her chair. ❤️ 10/10 - highly recommend!

Andrea was excellent, she talked me through my hair type, and what things would and wouldn’t work for my hair type and how I style. Loved my cut so much!
