What customers said about balayage
Jessie Tomme' SalonHalle went above and beyond in taking her time and delivering exactly what I desired! My hair has never looked so perfect! She even cared abt the wealth of my hair!
Wonderful staff and a cozy atmosphere. Everyone here is very knowledgeable and professional.
Kaylee is the best! I have been her client for a few years, and my hair looks and feels so good when I leave her chair. Highly recommend!
Salon CheveuxYou have to, have to, HAVE TO visit this Salon. It's so cute, it smells AMAZING. Everyone is so incredibly nice. Complementary beverages. You really can't go wrong. If you don't have a stylist, go see Tanner - she's the absolute GREATEST. I've struggled for years trying to get my damaged-brown hair, light and ash…
Jessie Tomme' SalonYulissa is an AMAZING colorist!! We are incredibly happy with how natural the highlights and balayage look on my teen!
Jessie Tomme' SalonRhi at Jesse Tomme is so very kind as well as wickedly talented. I always leave the salon looking and feeling my best!! Thank you to Rhi and the team!!
