Thank you so much for the haircut! I love it so much, it was exactly like I imagined, if not better. Everyone was so nice and had a chill vibe that immediately calmed my nerves. I will definitely have to reschedule for here the next time I decide to get a haircut.

This is not your typical hair salon...Renzo has created a community where the tweens to elder adults coexist with his handsome giant schnauzer William, greeting All. Eclectic, homey, welcoming with a touch of great humor is just the begining of your journey ..wait until you come out with a cut that your friends can't stop talking about...

I have been coming to Von Zeplin for a few years now to see Mireya. I have curly/wavy and mixed textured hair that is heavy weighted and she always gets the layers cut evenly and I can wear my hair straight or curly without the layers looking choppy. I love coming to Von Zeplin and catching up with Mireya 🩷

Great service!! I was hesitant at first, because they do a lot of colors that are not my style. However, I I was looking into getting a short haircut, and they have many pictures with short haircut. I'm very impressed with the work and experience. Super happy with my haircut. Thank you.
